The government has been conditioned to give away control so much due to decades of corporate lobbying, spectacular they make a jump probably for social reasons without understanding the technological and economic underlying drivers. I’m sure a $500/HR big 4 consultant will provide them a slide on it in 20 years.

Shirley it’s redundant when they have the blind US Justice system™ to hold all accountable equally

You can’t triple stamp a double stamp, you can’t triple stamp a double stamp!

Screw indeed

Narrator: No one ever asked for it or is using it already.

“Two small pair…8s and 8s” is still a staple at family card games.

You just need to buy the North America Animal Recognition AI subscription and this wouldn’t be an issue plebs, it will stop for 28 out of 139 mammals!

“Action? Yeah…they got 4 new detectives working on the case…they got us working in shifts! Action, ha.”

Would love to see the allocation of resources in the stupid company toward crime prevention vs. developing new methods of enshittification to harvest user data

Haven’t heard “gay” as a pejorative in real life since high school in the late 90s.

Caught me completely by obvious

Customer support tier .5

It can be hella great for finding what you need on a big website that is poorly organized, laid out, or just enormous in content. I could see it being incredible for things like irs.gov, your healthcare providers website, etc. in getting the requested content in user hands without them having to familiarize themselves with constantly changing layouts, pages, branding, etc.

To go back to the IRS example, there are websites in the last 5 years that started to have better content library search functionality, but I guess for me having AI able to contextualize the request and then get you what you want specifically would be incredible. “Tax rule for x kind of business in y situation for 2024”—that shit takes hours if you’re pretty competent sometimes, and current websites might just say “here is the 2024 tax code PLOP” or “here is an answer that doesn’t apply to your situation” etc. “tomato growing tips for zone 3a during drought” on a gardening site, etc.

I’m in HR so benefits are a big one…the absolute mountain of content, even if you understand it, even experts can’t have perfect recall and quick, easy answers through a mountain of text seems like an area AI could deliver real value.

That said, companies using AI as an excuse to them eliminate support jobs because customers “have AI” are greedy dipshits as AI and LLMs are a risk at best and outside of a narrow library and intense testing are going to always be more work for the company as you not only have to fix the wrong answer situations but also get the right answer the old fashioned way. You still need humans and hopefully AI can make their work more interesting, nuanced and fulfilling.

“Resistance Fingerprinting detected in Produce.”

But tiktok is what we should be focusing on…

The music in the original is fantastic.

This should have been settled in bankruptcy court as part of business wind down before anyone got a penny of assets divided proceeds. When it’s not then another legal battle is required to get the company to do what it should have. Such a waste of time and needless burden for society. Unfortunately, regulatory capture and representative funding capture is almost total so no laws will be passed to change it.

Bless you, must have hit “+” somehow, “-” fixed it and turned back on the autoframerate skip. Been a rough summer and losing my “zone out” retro gaming time was going to crush me. Thanks for the extra 1UP

3rd type- sees Real wages falling each year, has college debt or car debt or credit card debt or had to buy a new furnace on an installment plan or God forbid wants to take a vacation or or or

Anyway, this person has to try keep climbing or they will lose their car/ be kicked out of their apartment, nothing in society will support them as they “failed at their job and/or must be lazy”, etc.

There truly are some doofuses at every level of organization, the closer to the top people more often are playing the cruel game to win, but middle management are hardly the game theory types–they wouldn’t have accepted their job if they were that strategic as there is no winning.

So depressing to see working class folks going after other working class folks(someone with supervisor or manager or director in their title) because they “have it better”…the latter almost exclusively are trapped in a different fucked up system.

Here’s the VP of Reddit’s community cited in the article, Laura Nestler, preaching super engagement from a platforms most fanatical users to power content for the 90%.

She suggests, intrinsic motivators such as “autonomy”.

She was at Yelp prior, which if you want to look at a steaming pile of a wasted company, man give reddit 5-10 years.

We’re 5 years from someone proposing “smartwall displays” where the entire wall is your display. No more messy cables or creaky mounting brackets. They’ll, of course also have removed the on/off button and you won’t get to control the volume, but just think of the stimulation!

Fahrenheit 451’s technology just around the corner of the next shitty planned community coming soon near you.

What Musk has done in the last 2 years with Twitter looks a lot like a gangster moving into valuable turf. Granted, he immediately scared off a lot of people but it’s still pretty valuable turf.
