Yeah that is exactly it. They didn’t want mods to be able to disrupt the site again, so they’re looking to make that more difficult.

God, I am so glad I left that place.

Update:

Yeah I saw in the article that they covered it up and posted guards. Kind of ironic if they end up removing the section of wall and making a ton of money selling it.

“Look, Banksy thinks we’re committing atrocities! We’re gonna be rich!!”

Yeah I was gonna say, that’s a fucking awesome piece! What do they do in situations like this? Paint over it?

Update:

Could you imagine how many times the word “socialism” would be blasted on Fox News if Biden did this?

Am I having a stroke?

Yep, I work for a smaller company and there’s a FOMO rush to get AI everywhere. If you want to get a new project funded, it has to be AI. So now anything that is automated is getting sold as “AI”.

I was gonna say, when I was growing up my dad pirated that game for me and my brother by downloading it from a BBS. We thought it was just called “UFO Enemy Unknown”. Then later XCOM 2 came out and we were like “wtf is an XCOM”?

Game’s still dope as hell btw.

From the article, it sounds like it will eventually use 20x the energy of all the households in Wyoming. That’s pretty fucking nuts.

Wtf how is this even possible? How could footprints survive weather and wildlife for 78,000 years? That’s kind blowing.

Which kind of blows my mind. Coal miners should love EVs. There was a story in the news a few years ago about how nice it was for the miners to help someone in an EV, as if they should be mortal enemies.

Non-EV cars don’t run on coal, they run on gasoline. EVs on the other hand can run on coal, natural gas, solar, wind, you name it - and still are more energy efficient than cars burning gasoline. In a sane world, coal miners would be throwing their support behind electric vehicles. The utility companies seem to understand this, but seems like the support hasn’t made its way up the supply chain.

Damn that’s interesting. I like how they walked through step by step how they got the exploit to work. This is what actual real hacking is like, but much less glamorous than what you see in the movies.

I checked and was 1 year 11 months, so close enough for meme accuracy.

I feel like we should have a 2 year anniversary party for all the people that came over during the API fiasco.

Yeah it went by faster than expected

Trump promised to round up criminal immigrants. We always knew Republicans considered scientists and academics their enemies. I suppose we shouldn’t be surprised that he’s declared them criminals.

When you put it that way, that’s fucking insane. $2 million in retirement plus having my house paid off has always been my retirement goal. Granted, by the time I reach that goal, inflation and the cost of living will probably make that not enough.

Still, to think this asshat makes that in less than 2 weeks is fucking ridiculous. Like why even work at that point? I realize “work” for a CEO is mostly golfing and expensive dinners, but still…

Because it’s weird as fuuuuuuuck.

Couldn’t help but be reminded of the Simpsons joke:

FoxNews: Not racist but, but #1 with racists.

If you’ve got serial killers using their last words to praise you, you might want to reevaluate everything you stand for.

As of Thursday, the company’s self-driving tech has completed over 1,200 miles without a human in the truck.

That’s not an impressive number. That’s like 2 days’ worth of driving.
