It's 2022 and people still don't know that on the internet nobody knows you're a dog. These disclaimers always make me chuckle. I bet the amount of people successfully sued for giving advice on the internet is zero.
- mcronce 5y agoHell, I bet the number of people who have even had a lawsuit successfully filed for advice on the Internet is very very small. A potential plaintiff would need contact info, for starters...
- giantg2 5y agoPossibly. It's pretty ridiculous what some courts/prosecutors consider "practicing law without a license". For example, I was told by a judge that just if I help my wife fill out an appeal form, or if a real estate agent explains about a sale contract, that could be considered practicing law without a license. Frankly, that judge seemed like he was either an idiot or corrupt/biased based on some other stuff he did too.
- ameminator 5y agoYou'd be surprised to know that I may or may not be the world's first intelligent toaster.
- mbot5324 5y ago> world's first intelligent toaster At long last! I've been waiting for your emergence!
- ameminator 5y agoIt's because I'm the hottest thing around! (Except for the oven, the microwave, the air fryer ...)
- ben_w 5y agoEh, not so much. If Foone can run Doom on a pregnancy test, I’m sure someone can run GPT-3 on a toaster.
- gerdesj 5y agoHe replaced a few components such as the CPU but we have seen Linux booted on a hard disc. Not from a hard disc but on the controller itself on the hard disc. ESP8266 and ESP32 and the like are pretty tiny and have wifi and BT and a shedload of GPIOs and whatnot available. At £2 or less retail a pop! A "monster" system involving a Pi Zero costs about £5 retail. My toaster is clockwork based or me and a long fork and a open hearth. My fridge/freezer on the other hand has a wifi link. It is on the SEWER VLAN which is for those devices that scare me somewhat and has a rather limited view of the world.
- cryptonector 5y agoWhatever, but I don't want crumpets.
- jeramey 5y agoHello, fellow Dwarfer!
- sandworm101 5y agoYou're not. If anyone is first it is me. I made some toast first thing this morning.
- sva_ 5y agoI think "I am not your lawyer" was more a flex of credentials, to give their argument more weight.
- sandworm101 5y agoWell, one would be true and the other false. As a general rule lawyers get in more trouble for the latter.
- lupire 5y agowhich is funny because its explicit meaning is to remove weight from the argument, by telling the reader not to trust it.
- sandworm101 5y agoSued? Few. But people/jerks who disagree with what you say sometimes send complaints to bar associations.
- hashimotonomora 5y agoIt’s a healthy reflex from real life that spills over here.
