Microsoft punishes idiots who purchased a "perpetual" license of Office 2019 for Mac by disabling it next month, pirates unaffected
22h 32m ago in technology from www.theverge.comI'm not defending this action from Microsoft, but for most people, they buy a Microsoft product and then happily use it for years, none the wiser to any of Microsoft's other nonsense happening in the background.
A: gets scammed by company
B: You're so stupid, you should have known that company was going to scam you.

2d 23h ago in news from lemmy.blahaj.zoneI know many people think Trump is the best thing that's happened since sliced bread, but I think it will still be hard to find someone who likes Trump more than they like money. Trump is merely supposed to be a conduit to the money.
UFC fighters might play the part of morons, but they aren't actually idiots. There's no way they would allow for that in their contracts.
Rogue AI agent disrupts Fedora Linux and upstream projects
5d 21h ago in fuck_ai from news.linxi.com.auAverage functional AI agent workflow goes something like this.
User prompt: Water the plants at 15:00 on days when it hasn't rained.
Agent procedure:
- The AI agent checks the weather every minute.
- If it is not raining, check whether the current time is 15:00.
- Trigger the garden sprinkler system if the current time is 15:00 and it is not raining.
User seems happy with this and goes to work.
User returns from work at 18:00 to discover that the garden is flooded because the sprinkler has been turned on for three hours. All the plants are dead. At the end of the month, the user receives a bill from the AI company for consuming 1 million tokens and a water bill that is double what it normally is.

Not sure if that's the aesthetic you were going for, but that first picture makes it look like you're an oligarch in a steampunk city who's about to tell me about the economic benefits of the coal gas your company produces and how it should be piped directly into every house.
