Speaking of enshittification, I received an email notice that my Amazon package had been delivered to my mailbox, which is one of those freestanding ones with boxes for about 15 homes. 

Of course, there was no package.  Told the Amazon vendor and then went to the post office in person to let them know. Past experience told me the carrier probably put it in the wrong box. With me standing there, the post office guy conformed it had been delivered to the box and told the person on the route to go back and check. She never did.

So then I filed an online form. Two days later, nothing. So I got fed up and the next day stalked the neighborhood until I found the postal truck, followed it to our common mailbox area, and then flagged the carrier when she got out of the truck. 

I told her the package was lost, and she said she’d already looked for it and didn’t find it. So I told her to specifically look in the box with the numerical address but one street over. Of course, there it is. 

So think about the number of instances of mistakes. Three at least, and I have to go find my own effing packages. Ridiculous. 

Cock ring eh?

Meta is betting that characters generated by artificial intelligence will fill its social media platforms in the next few years as it looks to the fast-developing technology to drive engagement with its 3bn users. The Silicon Valley group is rolling out a range of AI products, including one that helps users create AI characters on Instagram and Facebook, as it battles with rival tech groups to attract and retain a younger audience.

I firmly believe that all of generative AI is complete bullshit and on balance has made anything it touches worse.  Also, we are on our way to making Dead Internet Theory a reality.

generative ai is still just 1s and 0s. because it's based on a yes no dynamic it can't actually generate anything

The intelligence level of the person who did this is the same as the people who used to do those “fill out and tag friends” posts where you were supposed to list your first car, mother’s maiden name, year you graduated high school, etc.
