The hype around AI is being used to justify mass layoffs,

Ban stock buybacks, abolish non-competes, fine the CEO and major stockholders personally for layoffs.

The foundation models consume a huge amount of energy. The more impressive you want it to be,

Nuclear power, renewables, carbon tax

As these tools are used more and more, they’re going to end up “learning” from content created by themselves instead of something that’s closer to a ground truth.

Not really our problem it is their problem.

Given the cost and nature of these tools, they’re likely to yield the most benefit to moneyed interests that want to automate the systems that maintain their power and wealth.

Restore the fairness doctrine limit the ability of groups like Sinclair.

Got any other impossible to solve issues let me know.

If we get killed by auto complete we deserve to die.

America: gun shops and manufacturers are shielded from lawsuits. Guns don’t kill people, people kill people.

Also America: someone might learn how to make a bomb from an AI instead of learning it in the many many other places. Better sue.

Inconsistent. I can’t sue because my kids school have to have a constant police presence.

A control panel for a loader that a factory worker should be able to use is as complex as a workflow on a computer can be. And that’s very explicitly accounting for the fact that loader’s or lift’s control panel doesn’t change every fucking day and the user remembers it, so computer UIs should be simpler than those of lifts and loaders!

I design control panels. I try to keep the workflow consistent not because I see value in it, but because some asshole decided that they didn’t want to pay for retraining. Really I don’t care, having to retool slightly every decade or so is pretty reasonable. Especially given that the tech is always changing.

I wonder why extradition is never even discussed. Hand over the scammers or get blocked from trade.

This is terrible. Why don’t we build nuclear power plants, rollout a carbon tax, and put incentives for companies to make their own energy via renewables?

You know the shit that we should have been doing before I was born.

Because data is king and sessions are going to be worth a lot more than searches. Go through the following

1. Talk to a LLM about what product to buy

2. Search online for a product to buy

Which one gives out more information about yourself?

energy for a solution in search of a problem,

Except this time it’s being backed by major corporations because it means fewer employees they have to pay.

Ah yes the classic it is useless and here is a use for it logic.

It definitely has to walk in the desert for a while. I know multiple people who like it for some stuff. Like cameras and managing air conditioning.

As long as we are talking about crypto, and I know this is shocking, turns out some people are using it for unsavory acts. It is okay if you want to sit down.

How about people are allowed to believe what they want? You know fucking freedom

What an image of Mohammed on atheist memes and it has t been locked by mods? Hell must have froze over.

You mean none of them?

I like healing my wounds from machine gun fire by eating 20 candybars. I am pretty sure it works that way in real life as well.

Yet I am not the one sitting here with a removed comment that I can’t own ;)

Why won’t you repeat it?

How nice for you. Here is a golf clap

What are you going to do about it pleb? The number of banking companies in the US has fallen over 25% since 2007 via so-called stress tests. The population is quite literally tens of millions of people more in that same timespan.

Bigger market + less competition = you matter less

Don’t like it? Make sure that the next time you hear “too big to fail” you tell your elected officials you are willing to take that risk. Everyone cut so much slack for past 4 presidents bailing out banks of course they have learned they can do what they want.

2.823 billion spent on buybacks this year alone. For their 86 million account holders that is a bit over 32.5 dollars each.

Seems like they have plenty of money.

Omg he fell off a bike!? I should stay home and not vote and like Bernie Memes on X.
