Me watching every single piece of social media regurgitate right wing talking points for the last decade.
No shit.

Nah we won’t get that far, turns out re-entering satellites deplete ozone pretty significantly but on a 30y delay. SpaceX and Amazon are gonna keep launching their mega-constellations on the grounds of ‘Nothing bad has happened yet so you can’t prove it will’ and by the time it kicks in it’ll be too late.

Or even a local level, at this late stage its all about lobbying for ever increasing tax breaks and subsidies.

Nono, someone else will pay someone elser to not cut down a tree that already exists. Then a few weeks later that someone elser will ‘decide’ to cut down that tree after all so someone else can pay them to not cut down the same tree again. On paper this counts as 2 whole trees being magically generated.

Within a complex enough system the difference becomes functionally meaningless anyway, We could re-configure all matter (except you) in the universe into one giga computer and it would still struggle to accurately predict your behaviour beyond a few minutes because the physical system of your brain is just that chaotic. So wether we’re concious or not, or have free will or not ultimately makes no difference.

iirc Disney already has something akin to corporate extra-territorality and and republicans were floating a wider rollout of that during Trumps last term?

AI going from ‘It’ll make everything so much more efficient!’ to deliberately doing everything as inneficiently as possible is just… idk beyond even satire at this point.

Everyone under 30 is trying as hard as we damn well can but the ship is sinking way faster than any of us can climb and some bastard has stolen all ladders. So the situation is kind of keep trying but with the acceptance that we’re fucked anyway.

My local supermarket asks for access to all your personal information in perpituity for the rest of time, for any purpose, just to apply. It is part of a very large chain.

3D artist here, generative AI models are great at making work that looks super impressive while being completely unuseable for most applications, I suspect this is what most tech workers find too.

I think we’re past profitable mattering at this point, even if the next model of chatGPT causes your eyes to bleed after prolonged use they’ll make it profitable by forcing its use anywhere and everywhere no matter how inappropriate it is for any given application.

We’re already there with some products like cars and phones where we just get told what to want and ignored if we disagree.

The vibe of the first one was so good, I think 2/3 had more fun characters in terms of just having interesting/fun kits but the first game will always be my favourite for the overall tone.

I’ll switch to legacy systems before I pay for a subscription service.

Externalized cost = free
As far as any and every large company is concerned anyway.

This is honestly one of the scarier parts about the rhetoric, they’re basically implying they would happily enslave a sentient being.

Strong magnet or some kind of taser on a long stick, ez takedown.

I’ve been thinking about this lately in regards to how shitty food is getting, with shrinkflation a lot of stuff now has smaller portions sizes but the calorie count usually remains the same, presumably due to adding more sugar to mask the taste of replacing ingrediants with cheaper alternatives, fresh produce isn’t spared either as most meat and vegetables turn a lot sooner and are sometimes already beginning to turn the same day you buy them. The result is a decreasing ability to have more than a day or twos worth of fresh ingrediants on hand and frozen food (or worse) just getting simultaniously less health and less filling.

Nah chat GPT is just a verbal mirror, so the idiot puts his complete lack of legal knoweldge in and gets a complete lack of legal knowledge out.

I just realised that the tankie point of view may be described as thinking countries should get what they deserve based on past wrongs regardless of how many people get thrown into the meat grinder due to the current reality.

I think they did one of those replace all the characters to repeat the show and then immediately get canceled because thats never worked final (12th) seasons?
