Y'know, I'd blame this on #AI, if the #Kroger website hadn't always been this terrible.
Screenshot of a notice from a search on the Kroger website. It reads "There were no results for 'scum skimmer.' Showing results for 'serum skinner,'" as if having entirely un-fucking-related products somehow makes up for the fact they didn't have what I was looking for.

I was having a conversation about the effects of getting #rhinoplasty multiple times, and I thought to #google #MichaelJackson…

These are excerpts from the same, first-page result, in order of appearance (with alt text).

#aiSlop
The paragraph reads: Plastic surgery is a procedure that involves the modification of the natural appearance of a person’s body. It can be done for many reasons, including improving physical or psychological well-being. The motives for plastic surgery vary from person to person and may include vanity, personal improvement, self-expression, or simply “looking good”. In the case of Michael Jackson with plastic surgery, it was likely all three: he wanted to look good (in spite of his age); he wanted people to recognize him, and he wanted others’ attention because being famous would make him feel special. The paragraph reads: Michael Jackson has had numerous plastic surgeries. He had the most operations than any other celebrity at the time, but he didn’t stop there. He continued his journey into beauty after surgery and looks better than ever! the paragraph reads: Michael Jackson had a nose job in his 20s and had a chin implant. He lost weight due to this disease, which resulted in his face looking different from before. The paragraph reads: The claim that Michael Jackson had been surgically altered in any way is completely unfounded, as no records of such operations were carried out after his death in 2009. In fact, there were no records of any plastic surgery at all performed on him during his lifetime!

A stylized illustration of a masculine-coded person standing in front of a box. There are three speech bubbles, with text in French. The first speech bubble, coming from the person, reads "It is impossible to know if the cat inside is on the right or left before opening the box". The second speech bubble, coming from the box, reads "I am neither right nor left". The third speech bubble, coming from the person again, reads "It is on the right".

The image is an illustrated "house of cards" metaphor, represented by a physical house of cards. A house of cards is literally a structure (usually a pyramid) created by stacking playing cards on top of each other. It takes a particular level of skill, as the thin cards must be balanced enough to bear the load of the other cards stacked on top of them. As a metaphor, it refers to—as per Wikipedia—a structure or argument built on a shaky foundation, or one that will collapse if a necessary (but possibly overlooked or unappreciated) element is removed. At the base of the pyramid are several small insectoids. Moving upwards, there are larger animals like bees and worms, followed by natural food sources. At the very peak of the pyramid sits a small house with a chimney, symbolizing human habitation or civilization.There is a persons standing next to the house asking "why should I care about the extinction of species?" The illustration was created by Stefan Haller, @schloriancartoon on Instagram.

"Key responsibilities" include being willing to #die for the #technology that the #corporation clearly trusts more than you, because *you* have to fill out a #jobApplication.
Excerpt from the "Key responsibilities" section of a job posting for an "Autonomous Vehicle Roadside Assistance Agent" position. It states that you must be "comfortable riding as a passenger in a self-driving autonomous vehicle, where the driver may have little control over the vehicle’s operations."

I read this as: "Humans are outdated tools."

#usa #employment #wtf #ai
Excerpt from an article about technology being employed to make employing people easier. The first sentence - specifically referred to by my post - is highlighted: "Hiring is one of the most critical moments in the employee experience, yet too often it's slowed down by outdated processes and disconnected tools," said Gerrit Kazmaier, president, Product & Technology, Workday. The rest of the paragraph reads as follows: "By bringing Paradox's candidate experience AI agent into Workday, we're giving organizations a smarter, faster, and more engaging way to connect with candidates. Together, we'll help our customers move from transactional recruiting to transformative hiring that helps deliver talent, in less time, and with a better experience for everyone."

And the #MAGAts are back on their "decry political violence while calling for more political violence" #bullshit.

I don't have the spoons to add alt text to this screenshot, and some of you will probably wish you hadn't read it, anyway.

#TIL sapling dot ai is a URL that I probably shouldn't trust for proper information.
Screenshot of a (possibly) generated page at sapling.ai, discussing the differences between the words "much" and "mutch." It provides the definition for the word, "much," being a noun that means "a great amount or extent," an adjective that means "great in quantity or degree or extent," or as an adverb that means either "to a great degree or extent." "very," "for all practical purposes but not completely," or "frequently or in great quantities." the page claims there is no definition for the word "mutch." Screenshot of the definition of "mutch," at the Merriam-Webster dictionary website. The noun is solely defined as "a close-fitting cap (as of linen or muslin) often worn by old women or babies."

#fuckDonaldTrump
Altered screenshot of a webpage-embedded tweet from Aaron Rupar That said: Donald Trump on deploying the National Guard to Chicago: "I have the right to do anything I want to do. I'm the president of the United States." The original tweet had a video thumbnail of the press conference in which Trump made this statement. I've altered it to look like the video clip came from the season 6 episode of South Park where Eric Cartman pretended to be an unruly teenage girl on the Maury Povich Show, where he repeatedly exclaimed (in an affected accent) "whatever! whatever! I do what I want!"

After having read the letter he sent, I genuinely hope it's possible for #Brazil to prosecute him for this. He made it perfectly clear that this was retaliation for charging #Bolsonaro.

Screenshot of headline translated from Brazilian Portuguese: "Trump's letter to Lula is explicit blackmail in favor of Bolsonaro's impunity". The subhead is: "US President Uses Trade Tariffs to Interfere in Ally's Trial". The article is by Bernardo Mello Franco, and there is a photo of Donald Trump at a White House press conference.

I'm kinda weirded out by the question marks, here…

#employment
Combo box in a job application. The options are "yes, I HAVE engaged in sexual harassment or discriminatory behavior" and "no, I HAVE NEVER engaged in sexual harassment or discriminatory behavior." For some reason, both options end with question marks, rather than periods, or no punctuation at all.

2-panel meme: The top half is a picture of the front of the White House, that I snatched from the preview page of a stock photo website. The bottom half is possibly the most familiar view of the front porch of the Banks estate, from The Fresh Prince of Bel Air. Elon Musk awkwardly jumping has been superimposed into the frame, rotated by about 30 degrees counter-clockwise, and with motion blur added, to imply being thrown out of the door.

Assuming we still have elections by the time this is at least *supposed* to be over.
Tweet from United States senator, Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) that reads: Thank you, President Trump. Two months ago, your conservative friends were 25 points ahead in the polls. Yesterday, they lost. It only took 100 days for you to convince Canadians that the far right has no place in government. Americans will say the same in our next election.
