  • Look at the grammatical errors throughout their post. The cherry on top being the statement at the end being terminated with a question mark.

    They also just recently had a question that includes them being on a pip.

    I get the feeling that this person should be grateful that this doctor is only making enough more than they are that they would use the word "twice" to describe the salary discrepancy.

  • We've been transitioning from a dignity culture to a victimhood/outrage culture for most of my adult life. The relevant one here is the outrage culture, where people are trying their damnedest to be the most outraged. Nothing shows that you are more are outraged by something than suggesting that someone should die for being in disagreement with you.

  • I can read what you're being told. I can also read what you're saying. And I can also see how funny it is that someone who is creating the false dichotomy of the election being "voting for/against genocide" is hilariously and hypocritically chastising people for saying "you're either for us or against us."

  • People aren't really targeting the cultists. We are targeting the undecideds with these statements, or the people who think democrat policies are bad, but at the same times are not sure about supporting trump.

  • I'm with you. I'm a Senior software engineer and copilot/chatgpt have all but completely replaced me googling stuff, and replaced 90% of the time I've spent writing the code for simple tasks I want to automate. I'm regularly shocked at how often copilot will accurately auto complete whole methods for me. I've even had it generate a whole child class near perfectly, although this is likely primarily due to being very consistent with my naming.

    At the very least it's an extremely valuable tool that every programmer should get comfortable with. And the tech is just in it's baby form. I'm glad I'm learning how to use it now instead of pooh-poohing it.

  • Because what they are describing is just straight up theft, while what I describes is so much closer to how one trains and ai. I'm afraid that what comes out of this ai hysteria is that copyright gets more strict and humans copying style even becomes illegal.

  • I think AI training is very different from piracy. I’ve never downloaded a mega pack of songs and said to my friends “Listen to what I made!”

    I've never done this. But I have taken lessons from people for instruments, listened to bands I like, and then created and played songs that certainly are influences by all of that. I've also taken a lot of art classes, and studied other people's painting styles and then created things from what I've learned, and said "look at what I made!" Which is far more akin to what AI is doing that what you are implying here.

  • They need to be maximally broadly appealing? That sounds like capitalism to me.

    "broadly appealing" means "human nature." This is my point. Capitalism is just a good system to figure this out. You want stuff that appeals to you, as do I. But that stuff is boring to most other people. Most people like this drivel, unfortunately. You just want a system that caters to you, and your niche interests (ones we likely share, BTW). You just want the stuff you want on what is available to the broad public. . . .But why is that fair to the majority?

    And you know what? With things like youtube, podcasts, and streaming (all thanks to capitalism, BTW), all of that is available to you. Just not on inappropriately named cable stations. Why do you care? Do you even get cable? Who does anymore? Even my pre-boomer dad has cut the cord.

    Don't get me wrong. Capitalism certainly has it's faults. There are certain things, like policing, fire protection, and health care, that simply don't fit into the mold of capitalism well. Even as a well off American, I'm all for strong socialism for many things, like what we see in Europe.

    I just find the concept that "these aren't the original intent of the channels. . .what a failure of capitalism!" to be kind of funny. Who really cares?

  • Capitalism just takes advantage of human nature. That's why it has clearly been the most successful system, at least as a starting point, for the overall well being of a nation.

    The issue with these channels is that most people just don't give a fuck about the information. They want to be entertained. Capitalism is just good system that enabled that to be figured out.

    Your issue is not with capitalism, but human nature.
