> Maybe they should change the button to say, "I am a robot"?

Long time ago I saw a post where someone running a blog was having trouble keeping spam out of their comments, and eventually had this same idea. The spambots just filled out every form field they could, so he added a checkbox, hid the checkbox with CSS, and rejected any submission that included it. At least at the time it worked far better than anything else they'd tried.

Something like this is used in some Discord servers. You can make a honeypot channel that bans anyone who posts in it, so if you do happen to get a spam bot that posts in every channel it effectively bans itself.

I remember years ago seeing a prerelease version of one of the wolverine movies. As the CGI models were still grayscale, it was cool to see at what points the fights were actors and what points it was CGI.

That was X-Men Origins: Wolverine. I was also thinking about that when I heard about this leak. This was the infamous Deadpool scene from it without the finished special effects, it's actually pretty interesting to see it this way.

oh my god the murder podcast mentions a hydraulic press death.

best thing in a while, bravo.

EDIT: I really wish the still-locked achievements gave a hover/hint. I simply can't figure out what these missing achievements are, and it looks like the count is wrong. Also, I wish I could revive my chicken. :(

You can inspect element on the achievements to see what their unlock text is.

I don't know if this is the "original" (it's a common idea), but here's some "movie barcode" Python code from 9 years ago: https://github.com/timbennett/movie-barcodes

I saw my first AI video that completely fooled commenters: https://imgur.com/a/cbjVKMU

This was not marked as AI-generated and commenters were in awe at this fuzzy train, missing the "AIGC" signs.

I'm quite nervous for the future.

The face of the girl on the left at the start in the first second should have been a giveaway.

> You shoud see a flat background with one large copy of the letter π floating a little above the background (closer to you).

To me these all look like they're reversed from what this says, like they're further away from me behind the flat part.

The linked original article has an update saying they will refund the charge.

"Update May 9, 12:45 p.m. ET: After this story was published, Hertz informed The Drive that its Customer Care team would be "reaching out to Mr. Lee to apologize and will refund this erroneous charge.""
