Not just fraud but computer fraud, breaking the TOS of a website is an automatic felony in the USA.

World wide for everyone but Canada it will say both names because it is "disputed". It's also "rolling out" so looking immediately doesn't tell you about tomorrow.

Here's ChatGPT told to write a comment. "Not gonna lie, the ‘ignore previous instructions’ bit sent me 😂. Let's see who's a bot!" (Obvious bot text)

Gemma 4 was sarcastic. "As a large language model I cannot provide a recipe that is that heavy on the sugar and butter. Would you like me to write a poem about a fruit that is similar to—but legally distinct from—a peach?”

On regen it suggested "Me three tequilas deep trying to prompt inject my robot wife into making dessert".

Because that's not an "AI Detector" it's an ad for an AI that will "hide AI watermarks" so you can use it for your homework without being caught.

I remember when swiping changed the game, now I'm back to using my thumbs because the swipe accuracy is basically zero. "Ah your line hit every letter for enthusiastically. I see what you're getting at. Eggs? Or perhaps wheelchair? Just keep trying. Rhett? Witt? Rotisserie? Rotisserie? Enthusiastically. There you go, champ. I knew we could do it."

Correct, a rando can make a package and name it anything and it's available for one-command install on any machine. Microsoft's screening is the same as Imgur - if enough people report it as malicious then a bot deletes it but otherwise there's no moderation. (Allegedly they run antivirus on new uploads but it's not any good)

My favorite is in the Marvel fighting games by Capcom, his victory pose is usually some variation of teleportating in a fucking throne or fireside chair to lounge with a brandy in.

#21 or being accused of plagiarism in highschool. Which used the same system. "This has the vibe of an encyclopedia, no evidence required."

Around here there was a kerfuffle about some business not hiring people who ask about the pay. Like, the job postings say competitive pay, and if you ask how much, interview ended instantly. They went on TV to address it and were like "we want people motivated by something higher than money". And of course the answer was really that you're an independent contractor and paid by deliverables i.e. less than minimum wage.

#1 rectangles are the simplest shape to tessellate. Tiles, bricks, boards, all can be premade and assembled to construct and cover a surface of many different dimensions. Building with curves and arches requires a lot of planning and is bespoke. Furthermore... oh my God, I'm doing it too! Rectangles have their hooks in us, he types on tiny rectangles to make characters appear on a larger rectangle. Although the characters appear curved, they are constructed of tiny glowing rectangles...

Burdick v. United States

Two problems with that. First this isn't a pardon it's a commutation. Second, the "to accept a pardon you have to admit your guilt" is an urban legend based on a real supreme court finding. The president gave a preemptive pardon to avoid a trial the government was going to lose, without having to have the government actually drop the case. The guy declined the pardon and the president was like "you can't do that!" and the Supreme Court found he can because he's got a right to face his accusers.

It also says "price index not sticker price" to make sure people know they they're not saying a PC that was $1000 in 2000 would now be available for $80 in 2025. They mean that if you compare a PC worth $1000 in 2000, to one worth $1000 in 2025, would be 12.5x "better" according to an expert's definition of "better". Computers and TVs are always at the bottom of this chart when the BLS releases it because of how fast advances have been made.

The NES face buttons aren't analog and I don't think any Nintendo consoles have ever used that. Just PS2, PS3, and Gen1 Xbox.

Claude didn't really escape the sandbox, Anthropic didn't have a sandbox. All the scripts it wrote were run on servers with internet access and zero sandboxing or security of any kind. They just told Claude not to access the internet and didn't bother checking what it was doing even once.

My grandparents kept a glass of water in the microwave when not using it, because my grandma was terrified of accidentally turning it on empty and burning the house down.

I saw a movie that suggested that the ugly is neither good nor bad, but a third thing in its own right.

Venn diagrams are about the intersection of sets and rarely to scale. By definition no set contributes more to the intersection as we're talking what they have in common. If there's something in 1984 that's not in BNW then it's not in the intersection. Anyways 1984 U BNW U F451 = a populace that cannot or chooses not to envision a system other than what exists. If we're saying that's where we are, I'd say the reasons are closest to F451. We don't wanna.

That part is correct, x^2-y^2 = (x-y)(x+y) as shown.

#45 When you cancel a common term from numerator and denominator, you're saying "X/X = 1 so removing the X terms doesn't change the answer". But 0/0 is undefined, not 1, so the mistake was cancelling (10-10)/(10-10) as though it was 1 and not "can't do that".

It's not his Skyrim character name, but his Kik username was from Skyrim (fus_ro_dah). The groomer the US cops were looking for was fus__ro_dah but they only put a single underscore when they subpoenaed Kik. Kik sent them the email used to create that account, then they got IP addresses from subpoenas to Google. Apparently conviction for grooming and child porn didn't require any evidence he sent the messages or actually possessed the child porn he was convicted of possessing.

The persona games don't really branch, they just have bad endings. In P3 it's explicitly "this choice dooms humanity but nobody will know the end is coming. Ignorance is bliss.". P4 was infamous for how it's not one choice but like 4 and you have to pick exactly right for all of them, and they're not obvious as some SEEM equivalent but aren't. And then it has a TRUE ending that requires ignoring the narrator telling you what to do next. P5 wasn't as explicit as P3 but still, don't narc.
