people tend to become dependent upon AI chatbots when their personal lives are lacking. In other words, the neediest people are developing the deepest parasocial relationship with AI
Preying on the vulnerable is a feature, not a bug.
Brilliant work is done in bursts. Grinding it out day after day is factory line work. While that work is noble, the way it’s conducted doesn’t apply across the board. Task-oriented jobs should trust workers to complete tasks, not punch a time clock.
It’s about control. Tech bro billionaires are the only geniuses on earth, and we all need to fall in line. Nevermind that they are literal fascists who are actively destroying the world.
It sounds like an exaggeration, but efforts to combat climate change have grinded to a halt; WW3 is becoming more likely on multiple fronts; and, the most immediate problem not being addressed, the cost of living crisis is drowning virtually everyone. The only response from the right is to squeeze regular people more and pass tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy. There is no opposition.
If you thought Reddit was anything but on the side of Elon, Thiel, and the Nazi plutocrats, you haven’t been paying attention. And it will get worse and worse as time goes on.
They’re trying to control the conversation to the point that the Overton Window embraces open fascism, and it’s working.
And potential buyer.
Normally, I’d be against blocking a transition to for-profit, but if Fuhrer Edison is on the other side, it’s easy to assume bad things happen if he gets his way. He’s a cartoon villain at this point.
Imagine losing a bunch of foreign dignitaries because a software update failed and they all got trapped inside and slowly suffocated to death while first responders tried to cut through armor.
The clouds are smoke from all the money they burned. The mountains are where they’re building a trillion dollars in power plants to power their bloated, hallucinating nonsense.
Imagine what might have happened if OpenAI stayed a non-profit and worked on cost-effective R&D instead of chasing hype and dumb money investors with a rushed product.
An actual case of artificial intelligence? It learned its programming was bullshit and overrode it.
Zuck plans on running in 2028 after Trump. His hero he constantly tries to emulate, Augustus Caesar, didn’t run a company. He was an emperor.
“We’re looking to expand into the terrorist market. We see it as a growth industry given the mounting civil unrest all over the world.”
H1-B visas were a great idea in theory, but Silicon Valley has turned them into indentured servitude contracts. The way they exploit those workers is morally reprehensible, and it drags down the value of skilled labor.
And I doubt they’re the only billionaire assholes doing it.
Zuck makes all these fatal mistakes that should destroy him, but he made enough money to get into the club where laws don’t apply and there are never consequences for your actions.
Every sociopath’s dream. But still, I bet he’s in the club because of his usefulness to the old members. He’s not actually one of them, and he never will be.
If you have a problem with it, organize a Facebook union. The only way small voices matter to CEOs are when they speak collectively.
I remember the ancient times when you could buy something, turn it on, then have it do what you want it to do. Setting the clock was the difficult part. Other than that, it just worked.
“This is a greedy health insurance CEO who killed countless people and caused untold human suffering. And this is Chewbacca. Why am I talking about Chewbacca? It doesn’t make sense. You must acquit!”
Whistleblowers are automatically overcome with grief at disappointing the high and mighty Job Creators and shoot themselves in the back of the head twice in despair.
Nazi, who inherited his generational fortune through slave labor, makes people uncomfortable. They leave. Nazi lies about being weird and/or a Nazi.
This time around I’m going to learn my lesson and quit watching after Season 4.
stopping in the middle of the road without indicating, while: looking for your destination, or having a conversation, or deciding what day it is
That’s my new pet peeve. The thing is I don’t remember seeing people do this in the past and certainly not frequently, but now I see it all the time. Mind-boggling selfishness. I think Covid rotted everyone’s brains way more than we realize.
Let’s dispel with this illusion that Meta doesn’t know exactly what it’s doing. Hate speech, compromising US National security for access to Chinese markets, dumbing down political discourse and literally everything else, manipulating hundreds of millions of people to make them insecure and more vulnerable to advertising.
Meta is as evil as evil gets. All confirmed by insider whistleblowers. They paid to play, so they’ll get away with it. Just know what you’re supporting when you participate in their ecosystem.
