All my suspended reddit logins are suddenly active again. I was banned for ‘inciting violence’ by some anti-outdoor cat nazis when I posted a picture of my cat with a rabbit it caught. This was over 3 years ago.
I’m going through removing all my content. F reddit. Scumbags suddenly unbanned my decade of content so they can train AI on it to enrich themselves.
Nah dude. It’s not as complicated as that.
It’s the same mentality that your neighbor has… I don’t have enough because someone else has slightly more than me. Tony across the street got the new car… so I should get a newer and better one than him!
The .01% only hang out with each other, and they compete with each other. And they get jealous when their buddy has a cooler nuclear bunker than them, so they need that extra 10 million this year to ugprade their bunker.
They are not evil, they are just people. And you’d behave exactly the same way in their situation. It’s how we are wired, to be stupid selfish jealous monkeys. You don’t exist to them, they are not thinking about you, only about themselves.
Same thing when you go to your town meeting and your elderly neighbors are screaming bloody murder at their taxes going up $50 this year because they think children should go to school in unheated buildings.
Americans don’t care about facts.
there are places where it’s the only option. like highway rest stops.
where i live dudes have their own place and car.
however, they don’t have a waterfront condo and 100K car, so therefore they are ‘inadequate’ or ‘unsuccessful’ according to most single women if you ask them. always their #1 complaint. and the #2 is how ‘successful’ men only use them for sex. the irony is lost on them.
But I’m dating in my 30s.
people who have that attitude tell on themselves. as in, they expect others to act like awful shitty people because deep down they know that is how they would act.
Before that it was ‘big data’. remember that?
every 5 or so years the media needs some new tech to hype up to get people paranoid
Exactly. It will lead to improved automation for industrial processes but it won’t ever be a consumer tech other than improving your siri results.
It won’t replace jobs, anymore than industrial robots in factories replace them.
‘big data’ ‘crypto’ etc.
AI is just the next ‘big thing’ that amounts to nothing. 90% of what anyone says in the press/media is total nonsense. And most AI researchers are downplaying the hype because they know it’s all bullshit and AI will ultimately not be a major change anymore than navigation systems in cars was. It is merely convenience and those that ‘rely’ on it will end up in trouble.
It’s a complementary technology, not a revolution.
the majority of usa populace. most folks in America believe in a just world where those who are good are rich and should be rewarded and those who are bad are poor and should be punished.
hence why when a billionaire breaks the laws nobody cares, but when a poor person steals food they should be locked up.
they also believe in zero-sum thinking, where if anyone gets anything it came at the expense of someone else. they have no concept of how economics and life actually works. just consumed by jealousy and bitterness and assuming if others didn’t ‘take’ from them they would have more.
china is causing a fuss for political gain. a huge chunk of their fishing practices are illegal and violates international law anyway. their concern is theatrics to drum up their anti-japanese nationalism.
ignorance and paranoia about radioactivity go hand in hand.
i know so many otherwise smart people who lose it on this issue. because they just think any radioactivity = destroy planet forever . completely ignorant to how it actually works, and just think every power plant must eventually chernobyl and that one barrel of nuclear waste is enough to destroy 1000s of miles or something equally absurd.
totally sad.
isn’t his shtick to generally offensive?
same here. i can pay 120 for cable tv and internet at 250mbps, or 100 for internet that is 50mbps.
but my town is a monopoly. i have zero other internet/cable choices.
They pay all their employees like shit. Pretty much every University/college does.
Except for the administrators.
which is why people want to be rich. it’s way bigger benefit than the money.
people think about all the maga types that are ‘one day millionaires’. nah, it’s not about being rich for money, it’s about they back a guy who does the stuff they wish they could personally do. like be rabidly racist in public without consequence
reminds me of my neighbors
When i was in school in the 2000s file sharing basically crippled the campus network until it was banned. A few bad actors were hoarding all the bandwidth and storing copyright violation stuff on school servers.
all Tinder cares about is keeping you swiping, with your eyes on the screen.
