And thank god it doesn’t get them all the way there, because if it were able to completely do everything accurately with the level of ambiguous prompts the layperson gives it, anyone technical would essentially be out of a job.

And honestly, the world would be better off not making people complacent just being end users of everything, and instead have to have a modicum of understanding what they are doing.

I used to think its just neophobia having all these kids using smart phones and touch screens for everything at increasingly earlier ages, but its like they only know how to use/consume things, never an inkling of trying to tinker with things and understand how to repurpose the mechanisms , figure out how things work (tbf everything now is super integrated, much harder to repair).

It just doesn’t bode well to me when it seems like the future labor force is so disconnected from the underlying systems they use.

Hey man, never judge a book by its recording

What’s wrong with slack?

It was a reference to what agent Smith said in the movie.

But also yea, it seems like standard of living peaked around that time where everything was affordable (in North America at least), people weren’t addicted to their tech and still generally had a third place. Politicians also didn’t lean as much into rhetoric.

When your platform is all about “hey at least I’m not that guy”, it doesn’t inspire people to vote

Early 2000s really was peak human civilization

If it’s pre-30 yr old, the cells are all body builders, but after, they are old men with canes

Yup, unfortunately people don’t understand that policies only change the equilibrium, but sometimes take longer than electoral cycles to see effect.

That’s why no party really gives a shit about bringing down the national debt, because twofold:

• people hate you in your term because that’s less money being spent for their benefit now
• the opposition can have more spending room to provide more benefits in their term, making them more popular.

Subway bread is considered cake in Ireland.

sounds like baby Ramen, and now im hungry

I say it regardless. On the things to give a fuck about, this ranks pretty low.

And if you travel into the future, your shits gonna be all fucked up and people will think you talk like a fag.

What part of ANY of this makes you think we’re in the GOOD timeline???

I saved 15% off my car insurance by switching to GEICO?

I remember there was a tournament where a SK player was so sure/disrespectful he could beat a CN player at SC, that he only used his feet on the keyboard and was eating a banana at the same time. And he still ended up winning lmao

So poor mans bolognese. I remember reading when you heat up ketchup it denatures (probably not the right word but opposite of caramelize) and loses its sweetness and becomes pasta sauce.

The “anonymous” survey asked this question with two choices: I agree or I’m looking for opportunities elsewhere

Nobody is saying what they are doing is illegal. And complaining is what people do to vent, you don’t have to read it.

It’s seems par the course for Amazon to just treat employees as disposable, and they’ve burned so many regions’ working populations’ proverbial bridges that I recall LTT highlighting an article saying Amazon can’t find people to employ because they’ve already cycled through everyone.

Anecdotally, I’m suddenly getting recruiters from AWS asking to interview me, and it all makes sense now. They want to replace the remote workers with new people who don’t complain. Fuck that, and fuck them if they think people should be apathetic to this strategy.

it skews perception to use y-offsets in percentage dimensions.

They captured it on video.

Freedom of speech and burning the flag is one thing: offensive sure but that’s the point of free speech. But you cross the line when you commit to incendiary CTAs like that, you are causing harm.

Funny thing is this was uttered by some woke-ass white lady Charlotte Kates who you know would be one of the first people targetted if Hamas was ever in power where she lived.
