Japanese sushi chefs agree. Sushi is a finger food.

Long since passed, but that would require congress to actually do something (impossible).

I’d love to hear him explain his thought process behind that theory. How exactly is AI going to do all of that? Like, all of that sounds wonderful, but so does winning the lottery. How likely is all of that to happen? And what are the risks involved if it doesn’t materialize the way he envisions?

We really need to stop letting these rich fucks just talk out of their ass.

Speaking from experience here, there are vastly more people employed just to build datacenters than there are to fully staff one. Hundreds of engineers, consultants, general contractors and construction laborers to build the datacenter versus maybe a dozen people at best to staff a football field sized datacenter. If datacenters go away those builders will still have jobs because they’ll just pivot to building schools or hospitals or whatever else is needed at the time. Heck, even the IT guys who work on the racks could pivot and find another role somewhere else.

The only people who will be out of a job when the AI bubble pops are the hucksters pushing it.

The problem is that as we get younger candidates who were active in their youth online or on social media, the likelihood that you will find a squeaky-clean candidate gets lower and lower. It’s not that politicians of old were paragon of society, it’s just that the dumb shit they did as kids wasn’t preserved forever in the largest archive of human knowledge for anyone to trawl up literal decades later.

If anyone found my old reddit account they’d probably consider some of the stuff I’ve posted there over the 12 or so years of when I was active disqualifying on it’s face.

We, as a society, are going to have to get used to excusing some historical bad behavior in favor of believing that people are indeed capable of positive change over time.

Active listening?

Lastly it’s all rented and the rental company will continue to charge the client until it’s returned.

That’s just another line item for the American taxpayer. Hardly Trump’s problem.

They already are! The government signed exclusive military contracts with OpenAI to develop autonomous weapons. Half of these AI companies are being propped up with taxpayer dollars in the form of government contracts or subsidies, or the promise that there will be a taxpayer revenue stream coming their way in the near future.

I think he means the rate of unemployment, not unemployment benefits.

I know, I read it wrong at first too.

I’m from the US and if comedy roasts are a cultural phenomenon then I wasn’t aware of it.

Yeah, I don’t get them either. Best case scenario you can have a mild chuckle at the people you consider friends who know you the best exposing how they really see you after being given an invitation to do so and then living with that knowledge for the rest of your life. Worst case scenario all of the above, minus any lighthearted levity, but add in deep-seated insecurities causing you to become defensive and driving a wedge between you and your loved ones permanently.

Is at least in a feudalistic society. The farmers would own the their own land and there’s not much the big corporations would be able to do about that.

Sadly, in the feudal age peasants and serfs did not own the land. They worked the land and paid rent to their lord, who actually owned it.

The land is the “means of production”, and the landlords exist solely to extract value from it.

In the modern era, the digital ecosystem is a new means of production. We are the digital tenants, and they are the digital landlords. Nothing has changed, although for a brief period of time in the 90’s and early 2000’s the wall street capitalists didn’t think the internet was anything more than a fad and things were good, but e-commerce was just too lucrative for them to ignore forever.

Delorean Motor Company.

I’d love to see a modern take on the classic Delorean. Something that isn’t a fugly ass cybertruck dorkmobile.

It’s quite common in trading card games for there to be disagreements between players on how different cards interact with each other during gameplay. Judges are just rules experts with the ability to mediate those situations.

Nothing will change until they fear for their lives.

This isn’t corruption, it’s autocracy.

I don’t want to hear shit from anybody about how patriotic they are while this guy walks free.

Just like the OP, except then my dog vomits on the floor and leaves again.

Likewise. I used to get 3-4 cold DMs or connection requests from recruiters per week just a couple years ago. Now I maybe get 1 per month.

It’s nice for me specifically, but definitely a symptom of the times and worrysome for anybody trying to find a job in this economy now while also having to compete with fucking AI slop generators doing all the menial and entry level work.

What I meant by that is the ability to access the entire world interconnectivity - obviously cutting those cables would not affect domestic internet access but people who live elsewhere would not be able to access content hosted overseas in gulf states.

I don’t think Iran cares if their citizens can access the internet or not. I presume their military uses satellites for that sort of thing so they won’t be negatively affected by it.

The rest of the world, on the other hand, gets their access to worldwide connectivity held hostage.
