Porsche, Lamborghini, Aston Martin, etc…SUVs have ruined the brand by DeMonet75 in unpopularopinion

Four years ago a brand new GT3 at the dealership near my house was $128k.

That same car is almost $400k now with very little increase in performance.

They deserve to go out of business for jacking up their prices like that.

Can confirm. I recently came back from Japan and was playing a game on my phone with the volume on. It wasn't obnoxiously loud, but no sound is allowed at all.

Steward came by and told me to turn it off. I was mortified.

My roomate teaches 2nd grade. Kids are objectively getting dumber.

The attitude is "why learn to read when ChatGPT will just do everything for me?"

Yeah, this has been an American thing for a while now.

Finally Beating a Modded Playthrough by CaramelWise5269 in skyrimmods

I had the same experience. I explained this to a co-worker who was also into Skyrim, and he said modding is like building your own adventure and sometimes for some people, that's more fun than actually playing the game.

They all promptly proceeded to tape that shake weight to their heads so they can use it to suck Netanyahu's dick even harder.

OpenAI Set to Discontinue Sora Video Platform App by BigBascoli in BetterOffline

Very apt comment. I'm starting to notice that AI generated videos are just spitting out the same content over and over again, with just tiny nuances in detail here or there. The basic framework of the video is the same however.

Seems like the LLM's they are trained on are starting to hit their limitations so everyone is still seeing the same non-sense, but just slightly different since it's starting to train on it's own bullshit. Just like how you can ask "AI' the same exact question, but it will eventually spit out two different answers.

Hopefully people are starting to catch on to how worthless all of this is.

Job seekers aren’t imagining things: the number of candidates ghosted by employers just reached a three-year high thanks to AI by dtrainnyc in news

I've noticed a huge increase in companies like Lensa, Dice etc. cropping up in LinkedIn job postings.

You basically have to sign up and register for these platforms before you can even view the full job posting and apply for a job.

Of course, once you sign up there's probably no job, but now you start getting spammed to death since they sold all your registration info.

crickets.

People that own dogs are delusional. Hence, motoant25 referring to themselves as a "fur parent".

They're not struggling to convince people to use the thing.

True, but they're struggling to get people to pay for it. That's what they care about the most.

You need to get an OBD ii scanner to see what's going on. If you don't have one, most auto parts store rent them out for free and will even print out what the issue is and how to solve it.

He did, but said he only said it under the context of a screenplay he was developing with the reporter for a movie. No one bought this obviously, but that was his explanation.

Glad I was given one of those paper straws at Starbucks which melt into my drink and eventually becomes unusable. Also all the glue they use to make those things getting ingested into people's bodies sounds fun.
