  • Sometimes as low as $1 per day, sometimes up to $50 per day, all dependent on the state and specific prison. Hawaii doesn’t charge, so get locked up there if you follow through with this plan!

    Sure, private prison execs already get to hoover up taxpayer money, and they profit from the slave labor, but how else would they get filthy rich if they stopped profiting off you just because you finished your sentence?




  • I wouldn’t be so opposed to it if this was the case with Copilot, but at my job it never “fails”. It never says, “I don’t have enough data on that,” or, “You should contact an appropriate resource.” It always has an answer that is very confidently portrayed.

    Now I’m flooded with tickets from users saying, “I followed Copilot’s instructions and this still didn’t work,” with screenshots of Copilot where they asked it how to do something that is impossible with our software. Then I have to argue with them about it because they believe the LLM over IT. Or users asking for permission to see a button/link that doesn’t exist because the last 50% of the steps are pure hallucinations.






  • It could be from today. I’ve worked at several manufacturing facilities where something like this is hooked up to a huge ancient device with a serial cable because the drivers only exist for Windows XP and the Italian business who made the machine went out of business decades ago.

    I suspect this was taken in the early 2000s, though, since the fan isn’t caked in an inch of dust and grime yet.






  • My mom said it to me frequently before I cut her out, which is a pretty good indication it’s not normal. A therapist would tell you that’s a reflection of her issues; if she had a different kid instead of you she would have said the same thing to them. You, as a person, don’t really factor into why she feels that way.

    As for your feelings, let me know what you come up with. I’m in the same boat emotionally and I don’t see a way out either.
