Only 75 out of 287,000 layoffs this year attributed to AI replacement, yet further down, IBM alone has replaced “hundreds” of HR employees with AI. Which is it?
Absolute trash article. Any vague gesture in the direction of a fact is poorly defined with no sources. This should only increase skepticism towards AI replacing writers and journalists.
But one shouldn’t have to.
So an applicant with dangerous people in their life, maybe an abusive family member or a stalker ex, is forced to expose their accounts they would otherwise keep private. That’s the first bad-case scenario that comes to mind, I’m sure there are more.
I propose a new rule - if so for me, then so for thee. Anything imposed on legal applicants is also imposed on the lawmakers who put it in place.
I only vacation in countries that have trained their LLMs to use line breaks.
Use of the terms “warfighter” or “warfighting” is one of the biggest red flags in my life due to the industry I’m in. Big cringe. Might as well just say “I wanna make the world more White and Christian. I’m not in the military but love tacticool fashion. 'Murrica.”
Tech companies do t want us to have friend or family connections. Sad and lonely people buy more stuff.
Don’t forget problems with everything around AI too. Like in the US, the Big Beautiful Bill (🤮) attempts to ban states from enforcing AI laws for ten years.
And even more broadly what happens to the people who do lose jobs to AI? Safety nets are being actively burned down. Just saying “people are scared of new tech” ignores that AI will lead to a shift that we are not prepared for and people will suffer from it. It’s way bigger than a handful of new tech tools in a vacuum.
This feels a bit like PTA-driven panic about kids eating Tide Pods when like one person did it. Or razor blades in Halloween candy. Or kids making toilet hooch with their juice boxes. Or the choking game sweeping playgrounds.
But also, man on internet with no sense of mental health … sounds almost feasible.
I have kept half an eye open for updated workarounds since the Feb 25 change and haven’t heard of any.
In my personal framework, once I’ve bought a copy and supported the artist, it doesn’t weigh on me to acquire a copy elsewhere. YMMV.
I’m choosing to buy from Not-Amazon going forward. All the major alternatives I’ve looked into similarly lock the content to their readers and apps (based on agreement they have with author), but unlike Amazon, they state it clearly up front and aren’t changing access retroactively.
Shoutout to bookshop.org for being crystal clear in product descriptions when an ebook is DRM-free.
I don’t because I don’t have the necessary depth of skill.
But I don’t say I “blindly” trust anyone who says they’re FOSS. I read reviews, I do what I can to understand who is behind the project. I try to use software (FOSS or otherwise) in a way that minimizes impact to my system as a whole if something goes south. While I can’t audit code meaningfully, I can setup unique credentials for everything and use good network management practices and other things to create firebreaks.
Is that really the message you got? It’s worded differently than what I see in mine.
People that like Fight Club, American Psycho, and Starship Troopers… k, but like, do you get it or are you a nut job?
Sounds like a better state-backed initiative would be to make mental health services available to this dude and to anyone else dealing with addiction issues. Especially since I assume this door guard was older than 18 and age verification, no matter how private, would have done nothing to stop his access to porn.
you gotta admit that there are psychological effects on avid adult viewers and more on minors
Citation needed when we’re talking about implementing laws and opening up lawsuits suing for $75k+. Multiple robust peer-reviewed citations needed. Preferably not funded by a Catholic church group.
Also it’s a leap to say top-down privacy invading laws are the way the state or federal government should handle it instead of the concerned parent monitoring computer usage. There’s so many free and subscription based parental control tools out there. Comprehensive sex education would be a potential alternate way for the state to support parents and teens to educate them on porn consumption and safe internet usage.
FYI, NCOSE, the group joining (likely funding) the lawsuit, is against comprehensive sex education.
I hope those aren’t his real initials because it seems like there’s more than enough information to identify him between the article and complaint filing. Poor kid doesn’t deserve to be dragged into this.
Ty! TIL. I’ve probably seen it many times before, but it only jumped out at me this time given the Olathe, KS setting and strong fundie Christian vibes.
Agreed. As a lawyer friend once told me, “you can sue someone for damn near anything. It doesn’t mean you’ll win”.
I imagine the “disability and disfigurement” will get sussed out at some point and either backed up w some sort of evidence, or taked out from the rest of the complaint.
Pretty sure those NCOSE assholes are the ones who said school shootings and other mass murders are because of moral decline due to gay people.
Are they trying to build support among the white-collars for unionization of the blue? I can’t think of a better way to boost union support among the white-collars. I hope they get the full experience of having to piss into bottles because break times are too short.
