All the pumps I've interacted with so far that show video ads can be silenced with one of the buttons next to the screen. Just press all of them into either the sound stops or the pump blasts off or whatever.

I keep a sharpie in my car and write "MUTE" on the button that makes Cheddar TV stop happening. I wouldn't call my self a hero, but...

LOL. I do the exact same poo poo and write dumb crap like "gently caress your ads" or whatever and draw cartoon dicks and what have you on those things.

As a bit of an aside, my new job has all of our "team members" on a WhatsApp message board so now, in addition to the scores of emails and texts I get every day, I have to monitor that poo poo when I'm off the clock.

Hasn't really come up yet.

I ignore it for the most part and, to be fair, anything really important so far (like my schedule, benefits, etc.) has been sent to my personal email. BUT, when I tested positive for COVID last week, and had been in a tight training room with 7 other people, I figured I should probably put that on blast and notify folks.

If it ever comes to it, and I "miss" a "team message" on a Sunday informing me of some bullshit, I fully plan on letting them know I didn't see it since I wasn't on the clock and was at the water park or the beach with my kid. I'll report back when I finally learn how that goes but, to my mind, if you want me bascially "on call" 24/7, then pay me a loving salary.

Doesn't work that way, of course, but it should. I'm not leaving work at 6pm, driving an hour home then checking my app messages at 9 when I'm watching HBO or playing Elden Ring after eating dinner. Go gently caress yourselves

Just mute the whatsapp group so you don't get any notifications from it, then you can only check it at your leisure when you're actually on the clock.

Exactly this. You can spend an hour of your working day every day examining every meme in great detail because "you don't want to miss anything important".

This. The best thing is to mute all notifications for every app except emails from the boss and customers, the phone is on dead silent always. I check stuff when I check stuff, no focus killers except the extremely rare phone call from a client.

Recently, Meta trained a machine-learning chatbot on Facebook data. A couple of days ago, it released that chatbot to the public, and surprise, it's exactly like how you'd expect: conspiracy theories, TRUMP, and racism at the drop of a hat.

The funny part is that it's not even a good chatbot. It gets confused easily and muddles up subjects quite a bit.

Honestly, at this point I'm not sure why AI researches keep releasing chatbots trained on what a large number of internet users think. It's always just a bunch of garbage, and it's been done so many times that we can't even say that it reflects any useful information anymore. Yeah, the internet's a cesspool, but we know that. Yeah, machine learning algorithms can't rely entirely on unscreened internet text, but companies keep making them that way.

Tay was better because she was at least funny when she was being lovely and terribly racist. This is just capitalism.txt with a chatbot frontend.

Sounds to me like it's a pretty good chatbot in terms of fitting its training data.

This probably has something to do with them charging up to $12000 to beta test autopilot (seriously :wtc:). I'd imagine people wouldn't be happy if they suddenly had to buy an expensive lidar upgrade for existing cars or the project just being declared a failure and only supported on models that don't exist yet.

They could just make up some bullshit about how the production release requires a hardware upgrade (LIDAR), and sell retrofit kits for a premium. The fans would probably have no issue with that.
