@nomenloony for those of you that don’t know, or won’t remember a pic of the correct one, it’s super easy - from the back of the plug - BLue = Bottom Left, BRown = Bottom Right

It amazes me just how … shit … this AI nonsense is. Happy to say aside from one try when it first launched, never used it since. Crapola

Nice way to burn your house to the ground... AI wants to kill us all... Muhahaha!

Try medical information.
It's on the same level.
Penises on pregnant women with the umbilical chord leading to the scrotum, bones that do not exist etc etc

@nomenloony oh i like this

@nomenloony wow. Just wow!

@nomenloony

Scary...

But not as scary as the idiots that blindly believe the machine!

@nomenloony @cyplo The fuse is in the plug, so which breakers?

[revengeday@corteximplant.com]

@nomenloony I am not an electrician, but I know that that can end fatally

[log@mastodon.sdf.org]

@nomenloony Shorting hot to ground seems like a great idea for setting that length of wire on fire without bothering the fuse at all.

@nomenloony SMDH.

I like to remember it from the top, going anticlockwise:
EARTH
WIND
& FIRE

[paperposts@zirk.us]

@nomenloony I wonder how it does with a US plug? I bet this is more US centric BS in the models - on top of the how dangerous this crap is.

@hans_zelf @nomenloony @cyplo

it is not unlikely the 32A breaker on the ring final circuit (used for the UK sockets) opens before the plug top fuse, and if its RCD protected it will definitely open (often putting the building in darkness if the RCD is not part of the 32A breaker or its not a split board with two incomers and lighting circuits on a different one)

AI is meant to "flood the zone with sh*t" to quote Steve Bannon.

Polluting access to accurate information is just one form of the #Enshittification enabled by fossil fuel funded fascists.

@nomenloony Tying hot to ground (to use US terminology) prevents the buildup of dangerous electrical potential within the plug.

[barnesmaurice@mastodonapp.uk]

@cyplo @nomenloony You'd need an equally bizarre socket to put it in.

@nomenloony

I fear the day when the left image makes it into Wikipedia.

[xchaos@f.cz]

@Jam123 But in a way, it repeats the "Facebook effect", where all content, never mind how crazy or fake, looked equally neatly formatted, typographically correct and somehow... professional. It was such a big difference, compared to wild aesthetics of eg. older Geocities, which made even serious content look like collage by madman.

And in the same way: all stuff presented by AI looks neatly formatted, visually consistent... yes, only looks, but how many people really analyze it or compare it?
