  • 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.

  • 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.
  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • This is broken window fallacy, akin to throwing garbage on the floor so some custodian keeps his job. These workers still have other shit to do. I get to waste less time waiting. So it's win-win-win situation.
