Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Microsoft CEO wants you to stop calling AI "slop" in 2026
27·8 hours agoWell, when it stops being mindless slop produced thoughtlessly, we’ll call it something else.

News@lemmy.world•Chief Justice John Roberts pushes for judicial independence in history-heavy report
12·1 day agoGreat idea. How about we require that any partisan judge or lawyer has to retire and is ineligible for the bench and the bar?

2815·2 days agoAt what point do we stop saying ‘nepo baby’ and start calling it a ‘dynasty’? Because let’s talk about a few.
Francis Ford Coppola is a great director. Sofia Coppola is gorgeous, a midrange actress, and a very good director. Nicholas Cage is a great actor, a great producer, and not half-bad at direction either. Sofia got her start because her father wanted to give her a shot in Godfather Part 3. Nick tried to distance himself (hence the name change).
George Clooney is a fine actor (I’d argue the worst live-action Batman but the best live-action Bruce Wayne). Would he have gotten his start if it wasn’t for Rosemary Clooney?
Would Mariska Hargitay have gotten the shot at SVU (one of the most-watched TV shows of the 21st century) if she wasn’t the daughter of Jayne Mansfield?
How about Sean Astin? Son of Patty Duke, and adopted by John Astin. Could you imagine a better Sam Gamgee, though? Is he a nepo baby?
That’s where I have issues. Talent can pass in families. Why should we be hateful toward it?
Which means they’re actively backing fascists and pedos.
“Yes, that’s how I cope with this job.”

Endymion_Mallorn@kbin.melroy.orgtoPolitical Memes@lemmy.world•So many people want the Epstein files you got to wait in line for them
5·14 days agoI’ll let those who can act on them do so. There’s got to be some level of decency left somehow in this country.
Mind you, it should be assumed that any redacted section involves at least one Republican.

Programmer Humor@programming.dev•JPEG XL is Dead. Long Live JPEG XL
0·1 month agoI just use old JPEGs. Not JPEG2000, not PNG, not WebP, not JPEG XL.
I almost hope so. But with the speed of M.2 and other formats, I wonder how much is going to end up being swap space use.
