When I was in school someone photoshopped one of the girls faces onto a nude picture. After it had been circulated throughout the school and beyond, she committed suicide.
Yeah but it wasn't done with AI so no one is going to panic over it. /s
Well, I wouldn't be surprised if you did, since you you keep complaining like not being offensive takes effort on your behalf. But it's likely legally required now in some places. It is mandatory for all employees, not just people who received complaints and were sent to mandatory HR training.
That's my point. If you did watch one of these videos, you'd understand your hyperbole just makes you look more ignorant than aware.
So you've watched many recently and speaking from experience or from TV tropes?
I work at a company where everyone is college educated, multicultural, respectful and very intelligent and in top 10 places to work, etc. That doesn't mean an hour or two every year to remind people how to deal with issues before they become so stressful you need to quit or prevent you from doing your job isn't a very good return on time.
Training isn't bad at all. They should invite some victims on those trainings, which is hard , so people get a good picture of what it does to victims.
It stays with you forever. It messes up lives. Some able to cope better than others, but it stays with you forever .
Exactly, but HR training is about covering the company's ass legally, not about reducing offenses. The training should be made by people who understand sexism and not by mindless HR drones.
The last sexual harassment training I had, which was just a shitty online course we all had to do, was so laughably horrible that I would not be surprised if it made things worse in the long run. It was clearly made by someone trying to check off boxes and nothing more, and it was clearly directed at men only (which is ironic considering we all had to do it).
Yeah, I agree. Especially in the corporate world there's a lot of room for improvement.
There are even studies showing that some of the HR training has harmful effects while not even addressing issues. I hope that evidence-based training will start to be used before it turns into more of a joke than it already is.
It's one of the billion reasons why HR sucks.
Yes, navigating personal quirks, complexities and not being offensive took efforts. These falls under emotional labor. Although, men and women have different emphasis.
I'm sorry if my statements led to wrong conclusion. I'm just following the same logic or mechanicsm the subset of society use to put demands.
It's because HR is trying to cover their butts. They're often stuck between the upper management and the rest of the company. For example, one of my friend managed a branch with 50-100 workers as HR. She has lost count of the times she’s had to bridge the gap between the HQ and staffs resentful of policies that has immediate effect.
The videos are not made by HR. At least not any videos I've watched. There are dedicated companies with actors that have consultants that ensure there's a quality program in place and lawyers to make sure they meet or exceed legal requirements.
The videos are all about ensuring employees have healthy work environments. There are policies that companies are required to have, by law.
What country was this or what company made the program? Did you provide that feedback in the survey afterwards?
I wouldn't conflate poor HR departments with HR training effectiveness on its own. HR departments are not equal.
Top MAGA influencer revealed to be AI — created by a guy in India who made a mint off lonely men online
https://nypost.com/2026/04/21/us-news/top-maga-influencer-emily-hart-revealed-to-be-ai-created-by-a-guy-in-india/
"A comely MAGA influencer who racked up millions of followers with patriotic content of her posing in a bikini while ice fishing, drinking Coors Light and shooting guns has been unmasked — as an Indian man who put himself through med school on the proceeds of his trickery."
We found a stable Firefox identifier linking all your private Tor identities
https://fingerprint.com/blog/firefox-tor-indexeddb-privacy-vulnerability/
"The issue allows websites to derive a unique, deterministic, and stable process-lifetime identifier from the order of entries returned by IndexedDB, even in contexts where users expect stronger isolation."
https://anchor.host/godaddy-gave-a-domain-to-a-stranger-without-any-documentation/
A GoDaddy employee transferred a 27-year-old domain out of a paying customer’s account with no validation. With zero documentation submitted by the recipient. When the customer disputed with legitimate documentation, every submission was met with “We will respond in 48 to 72 hours.” After four days, GoDaddy claimed the domain belonged to someone else and the case was closed. The fix came from the recipient of the mistake, not from GoDaddy despite 9.6 hours of phone conversations.
The worst
This is hugely disappointing. I've been quite fond of Backblaze for a long time because of their transparency and drive stats. This is the exact opposite.
That said, "unlimited" backup was always a stupid idea, and is a good way to shoot yourselves in the foot as a company. Of course it has to be limited (or billed by the byte) at some point.
But this change should have been communicated very explicitly and not rolled out over night. Of course there would've been outrage over that as well, but at least less trust would've been broken.
On another note, this is one reason I am against "too cheap." If your margins are razor thin, you're going to fail at some point or another. Reasonable margins can protect both the client and the business. Of course not every client needs such protections and I get why people seek bottom dollar. And paying top dollar is no guarantee, but paying bottom dollar is almost always going to result in bottom dollar performance at one point or another.
This is horrible on so many levels. "AI" has helped bring us to the point where we must always doubt if we are seeing something real or not -- on a massive scale. It's extremely unhealthy.
We're quite particular to not publicly share pictures of our kids and this is just another reason for us to not do that. Heck, my wife and I don't have pictures on any platforms, either.
Obviously this is terrible from the boys deciding to do this, it's also terrible that they are enabled to do it so easily. It's terrible that people make apps for this purpose as well. The girls who have this done to them must feel horrible. I hope that more of them choose to make their lives more private though, and not use social media. This of course could happen even despite that, perhaps through yearbooks or other school pictures. I hope that when it happens, it's dealt with strongly and switfly.
Nothingburger, then. Tor browser has never claimed to have extremely strong cross-tab isolation. Solving that is still an open problem, which is why you're supposed to close and re-open the browser if you want a new identity.
That vomit from Zitron
. There is Karpathy which is fanatic of LLM and there is Zitron, which profits from deep hatred towards LLM.
Ok, but where refugee deal?
Ask aws for a deal.

It was a beautiful day when the first useful Twitter update in years let you see region of account creations and it revealed that so many "American" political commentators suspiciously all made their accounts in LatAm or India. Really loved seeing them all scrambling for a day to explain why and beg the devs to hide it again. This reveal is my favorite: https://nitter.privacyredirect.com/mrjeffu/status/1992413787375161490
It's obviously not actually blackmail, he's playing fast and loose with words to make his point.. but it's pretty silly this is the state of affairs.
Twitter (+ clones) is and always will be a shithole. Not so much because the technology or the idea behind short message blogging is bad but because the overwhelming majority of users are bound the be morons. Displaying country of registration is not going to change much about that besides people thinking of becoming Twitter-famous sticking [country-X-proxy/VPN] in front of what they are already using.
As long as people don't apply critical thinking to the stuff they are reading while maybe even willingly confining themselves to echo chambers all those funky gimmicks will be pointless. This starts with the fact that services like Twitter are - outside a very specific usage pattern - just massive attentions drains with very little possible gain for the actual user or in general.
Most people are morons.
Does he know this? I don't understand how "writers" are not embarrassed by their very public faceplants and immediately fix their fuckups.
Also, he asked a fucking question in a title which is always no (the exception being that time they asked "is the answer to a question in a title always no?" ).
Mullvad exit IPs as a fingerprinting vector

obligatory hn discussion https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48143880 includes a response from a Mullvadeer (I made that up, Mullvadoon? Mullvadista?)
"As for mitigation, we are already testing a patch of the unintended behavior on a subset of our infrastructure. If any of you try to reproduce the blog post's findings you may get confusing results throughout the day."
I just assumed tbh, it was obvious to me shrug!
