The only thing worse than being fired is scammers fooling you into thinking you're fired
  • The phony court document is a RAR archive that contains a malicious Visual Basic Script named "Processo Trabalhista.vbs" or "Labor Lawsuit.vbs." When executed, it downloads a Base64 encoded text file (file4.txt), saves it on the now-infected system, and then executes additional malware.

    RAR and VBscript, is it 2006?

  • "Woke" games
  • A game is only called "woke" when it's bad. Balder's Gate 3 is one of the most "woke" major releases in the last few years but you hardly hear them complain about it.

    It's the same thing with cyberpunk 2077. The anti-woke crowd can't agree on whether it's woke because many of them like it.

  • People simultaneously seem scared of AI automating jobs, and of there being too many old people for young people to look after as they'd be too busy with jobs. Wouldn't those cancel each other out?
  • The issue isn't really "too busy with jobs", it's not having enough monetary resources to take care of a large non-working population. The fear with AI is that it will take the comfy, high paying office jobs and demote the non c-suites down to manual labor. Unless corporate taxes are increased dramatically (unlikely) many of the young working class will be stretched thin trying to pay for their parent's care.

  • What exactly are Chromebooks for?
  • If you're getting one for linux be warned that it's not as straight forward as regular laptops due to the unlocking process, sometimes non-standard hardware and the unique keyboard layout. If you do anything where you make heavy use of f-keys or delete it's not worth it.

    Also never buy one new, schools dump them by the truckload so it's easy to get solid hardware at much lower prices.

    Chromebooks are designed around coercing the user into the google ecosystem. Everything google based is seamless while everything else is a second class citizen.

  • Company affiliated with Alex Jones seeks to disqualify The Onion's auction bid on Infowars
  • With the families’ offer, other Jones creditors would get a total of $100,000 more than they would get if First United American Companies bought Infowars, according to The Onion’s bidding document.

    So the Onion's bid was higher over all for the other creditors and Jones is mad that they can't pay his way out of this. The trustee is supposed to do what's in the best interest of the creditors, which includes the families.

    Also, having your friend buy your assets back for you out of bankruptcy seems like fraud, but I don't know the specific laws.

  • interesting! anyway…
  • If she actually did this the right would start calling her a terrorist and she would lose any chance at winning over any right voters on the fence (who probably didn't have strong opinions on the issue prior).

  • Be careful.
  • This is actually pretty smart because it switches the context of the action. Most intermediate users avoid clicking random executables by instinct but this is different enough that it doesn't immediately trigger that association and response.

  • OpenAI's GPT Trademark Request Has Been Denied

    > First, applicant argues that the mark is not merely descriptive because consumers will not immediately > understand what the underlying wording "generative pre-trained transformer" means. The trademark > examining attorney is not convinced. The previously and presently attached Internet evidence > demonstrates the extensive and pervasive use in applicant's software industry of the acronym "GPT" in > connection with software that features similar AI technology with ask and answer functions based on > pre-trained data sets; the fact that consumers may not know the underlying words of the acronym does > not alter the fact that relevant purchasers are adapted to recognizing that the term "GPT" is commonly > used in connection with software to identify a particular type of software that features this AI ask and > answer technology. Accordingly, this argument is not persuasive.
