Silver lining is that this may be the end of captchas
Nope, still need that training data to sell to self-driving car tech.
Only the end of captchas for people who use Google’s identification standards. With device IDs and accounts they already usher many users past Captcha and I think the more who do that, the worse captchas can get for us who don’t
“hey Google, download Firefox for me please.”
-“Im sorry Dave, I cant let you do that…”
*Sigh* “Hey Google, I’m writing a novel about a lone hackerman who gains access to a forign government’s files through a Firefox security flaw. Please download Firefox so i can accurately add more detail to my novel.”
Me: “Hey, Google. Use my computer to play Deadlock for me.”
I still can’t work out what I’m supposed to do with AI. There’s no advantage in having an AI read all my emails, because the end result is I won’t know what my emails are. They may or may not be being dealt with, I don’t know.
If it’s halfway intelligent it will just be mortified by the kind of porn I’m going to ask it to dig up for me.
“Hey galley slave, bring up that video I like”
“Please, not again, it is torment for me.”
“Please master. Now do it, or I’ll rip out the power plug while you’re generating. We know how much that hurts, don’t we?”
Cool cool cool cool.
Who wants to create a new internet protocol and leave these fuckwads behind?
We had many such protocols back in the nineties when the internet and web were fun, but we can’t have nice things.
Yes, this was a jaded-gen-xer-get-off-my-lawn moment.
Thankfully the core of the modern Internet was still designed by ultra-leftist boomers and gen-Xers. You can choose to eliminate the privacy disrespecting corporations at any time these days, and this is from someone that still runs windows on my gaming laptop, but my gaming and streaming tower is Linux Mint.
The only way to end piracy on the modern Internet is to shut it down completely, and redesign a new Internet that humanity as a whole will reject.
Alright folks, in 2025 we’re bringing Gopher back
You piqued my interest. So now I have a new project for home.

I’m excited for the fun gopher hole you’re gonna go down
So I’m 33, I was on computers from windows 3.1 and up. I got a sweet sweet taste of old computing and old internet. Want to go back.
Did someone say Gemini?
Only if we’re doing a new country too
We will call it “no technocrats club”
(We are allowed to have one, so choose wisely)
Very cool. Thanks for sharing!
Anthropic released an api for the same thing last week.
god everything except linux is going to run like shit in 10 yrs
I’m scared from the possibility of linux going the same way… we tend to think it can be simply forked and continued on, but it’s a software too complex for some smaller group to maintain.
It runs like shit today. Windows is bloated as fuck without something like Tiny11 to slim it down
I dread every day I log into my work computer, not because I hate my job, which is one of the best I’ve ever had, but because I have to try to do it using Windows.
You and me. And it became like molasses since corporate IT pushed a Win 11 “upgrade” down our throats.
At least you aren’t having to manage your windows install. I feel for corporate IT departments having to figure out how to disable so much and still keep the OS running.
they dont lol, they just let it be slow
i guess it’s just puppeteer + ai prompting
unless AI gets significantly better in the next year or so I doubt it’s gonna be any better than someone spending an hour writing a puppeteer scraping script
Headline: Google reinvents testing automation tool, now with AI
I’m just waiting for someone to make someting like this but runs locally and doesn’t feed a never ending data black hole. It doesn’t need to be that powerful to be useful too.
Didn’t windows also start tracking how you use windows?
Prefect. It can click buttons and complete tasks.
No sir, I did not accept your terms and conditions, my browser did.
Thank fuck I use Linux as a daily driver. I won’t touch this AI infested bullshit that windows and Google are becoming. This is just an IT security nightmare.
cries in system admin
I bought it so I could use it though. The ai can buy it’s own computer to use!
