It's just a lot like Kim Jong Un or Putin, where he seriously pictures himself looking like Vin diesel. And so do his followers. All those maga flags and political comics actually give him a six pack and make him 6'5. It's gross and kind of scary.

Doesn't make it ok.

Remember when Transmetropolitan made this seem cool

3% on Netflix is really good. Definitely do the english subtitles instead of the dubbing though, it sounds ridiculous.

Seeing technology consistently putting people out of work is enough for people to see it as a problem. You shouldn't need to be an expert in it to be able to have an opinion when it's being used to threaten your source of income. Teachers have to do more work and put in more time now because ChatGPT has affected education at every level. Educators already get paid dick to work insane hours of skilled labor, and students have enough on their plates without having to spend extra time in the classroom. It's especially unfair when every student has to pay for the actions of the few dishonest ones. Pretty ironic how it's set us back technologically, to the point where we can't use the tech that's been created and implemented to make our lives easier. We're back to sitting at our desks with a pencil and paper for an extra hour a week. There's already AI "books" being sold to unknowing customers on amazon. How long will it really be until researchers are competing with it? Students won't be able to recognize the difference between real and fake academic articles. They'll spread incorrect information after stealing pieces of real studies without the authors' permission, then mash them together into some bullshit that sounds legitimate. You know there will be AP articles (written by AI) with headlines like "new study says xyz!" and people will just believe that shit.

When the government can do its job and create fail safes like UBI to keep people's lives/livelihoods from being ruined by AI and other tech, then people might be more open to it. But the lemmy narrative that overtakes every single post about AI, that says the average person is too dumb to be allowed to have an opinion, is not only, well, fucking dumb, but also tone deaf and willfully ignorant.

Especially when this discussion can easily go the other way, by pointing out that tech bros are too dumb to understand the socioeconomic repercussions of AI.

I think more than one party can be at fault at the same time, but it also depends on the situation.

For example. Google maps kept taking rideshare drivers to the wrong entrance of my apartment complex. When I say "wrong," I mean "nonexistent." So multiple uber drivers were literally pulling over on the side of a busy street near a freeway on ramp with no bike lane or shoulder. They'd hit their flashers and stop in the middle of the road, blocking the on ramp lane. I'm in the actual parking lot, not tracking them in the app, so I don't know they're around the corner. I had two drivers just leave. Did they let me know they were going to cancel and drive away? Fuck no. The actual parking lot and driveway is only a few yards away. If they don't pass right by it, they can at least see the driveway. I mean, come on. Use your brain.

After the first time this happened, I tried to move the pin in the app, but it just kept sending drivers to the same place. I started texting them after they accepted the ride, but not all would see it. I contacted google and the pickup spot did change - to a back entrance on the opposite side of the complex that has no parking lot or place to stop unless you have a gate opener. For fuck's sake.

Anyway, it's both of their faults.

Isn't it insane how managers (and professors for that matter) tend to act like you're not a person with a whole life and personality outside your job

Does "low engagement" mean "objectively not doing the job you are paying them to do"? Or does it mean "not going 'above and beyond,' aka not working unpaid overtime or doing things outside their job description"? Because only one of these warrants letting someone go.

This 21 Year old has a 6 and 3 year old sons. I'll let you do the math on that. But it adds up to before some states had bans.

First of all, red states made it next to impossible to get abortions even when it was legal. Also, they cost money. Contrary to apparent popular belief, George Soros or the DNC don't just appear to fund every abortion. Or, sometimes people are Catholic, which is fucking stupid, but maybe there's some family shit you don't know about. Especially for a minor trying to get an abortion. Again, contrary to popular belief, they weren't just being handed out for free on every corner to every 16 year old who wanted one. There were still a million obstacles long before the Dobbs decision.

Second, "I'll let you do the math" is a judgey, self-righteous, and gross statement.

Especially fucking Wiley. If you're a student paying hundreds for a textbook with a "supplemental code" that makes it so you can't buy it used, then it's probably by fucking Wiley. Fucking greedy cunts.

Of course the name of his show is "war room," jfc. All conservatives do is fantasize about violence.
