It’s like that argument math teachers used to make, right? “You won’t always have a calculator in your pocket!” Except, yes. And if you had a job that required a calculator you would own a couple to take with you, and you would become proficient in the maths anyway even if you used the calculator because you’re doing it so frequently. And when do you ever need to solve maths under pressure, how rare is that.

But teachers wanted you to be capable of doing the job without a calculator because they had this imagining that you had zero knowledge of how to do a maths, if you used a calculator.

But you have to know how to do the sum to enter it into the calculator. It’s just useless busywork for busyworks sake, not using a tool that speeds up an unnecessarily time consuming job.

They made electric mixers, does that mean you should always beat cake mix by hand just in case you have an emergency cake making need?

You know the job so well you built a program capable of doing the job, and your manager is worried you don’t know how to do the job, instead of seeing that you are actually improving your time management, and making the job more efficient and less error prone. All humans are prone to error, that should be a universal understanding.

Sit your manager down and get them to use the program and then ask them or tell them how it works, explain the mechanics and how to build it. Explain time saving and efficiency.

I’m glad you’re quitting this manager thinks you’re incapable in the face of huge evidence otherwise. What a dick!

Yeah, I don’t buy off them, but I did check, there’s nothing there on me.

Yeah, I absolutely get that level of sensory overwhelm when my skin is dry and cracking or just about to be so dry it’s cracking. Try some basic moisturiser with no fragrance daily for a week, if that works, keep it up.

Could your skin be dry?

Yeah! How dare you besmirch the gay icons.

Same, next in line

That is another reason to avoid it, at least for now. If you don’t watch it, you don’t talk about it, you don’t give them free advertising. Piracy evokes demand in many ways. It will still be around in 20 years when no one is looking, anymore.

Fizgig?

I’m having the same problem. I just had to switch recently because I can’t get tpb. In Australia.

I went to buy a steamer, because my last one finally fell apart. And I happen to mention I’ll be after a toaster next, did they have the brand/model I like (it’s just been tested to toast well) the salesguy says oh have you heard about the ai one, I’m getting one, they’re such a saving atm, down from $600 to $400! I straight up said wtf, why. He said oh it looks at your toast while you toast it. It was so hard not to let him know he is a fucking idiot. He wasn’t trying to sell me on it, he genuinely wanted to buy it for himself.

Why does he always remind me of the Mangalores from fifth element. He has always kinda had this skeevy look behind his smile, or something, too. All of this stuff coming out about him makes sense, none of it seems unfitting.

They did something else too, it’s on the edge of my memory, ugh, in the last 5 years, something they said, oh that’s going to bother me all day till it randomly pops in my head later (at 3am).

Maybe that thing never really needed doing, if it’s only means for operation was via evil means. Maybe that whole system just needed to be entirely dismantled.

The best example of this was all the people who liked the boys, but didn’t get it was taking the piss out of them.

They can’t, if they do they’re calling out the social media sites for purposely targeting addictive algorithms and then this bandaid fix will be noticed for the bandaid fix it is. Most people don’t know social media uses specifically designed to be addictive algorithms. What happens if everyone knows that. So they flatten out the language.

I dunno, maybe keep anything you can pirate on, right? Because that would hit them harder?

That leaves only one available option for protest. I don’t think they want to funnel everyone into moving away from PlayStation entirely. Or maybe they do, maybe xbox infiltrated and is taking them down from the inside, wait, where’s my popcorn…

I don’t know if you noticed you contradicted yourself there. Letting ai do your thinking decreasing your value and then, talking about using ai to replace your thinking.

Ai is causing psychosis because people are trying to use it to replace thinking. If you don’t use it you lose it, literally especially with your brain. You have to know how to produce those skills from within or you don’t have those skills and then you are worthless in any workplace, but more importantly to yourself. You have to be meta to the aim being the TV show, and control it from a place of checks and balances (us performing those checks and balances of ai) handing over the reigns of higher thinking to a machine designed to be a yes man, is not ever a pathway to expanding your thinking or even learning to use ai, that’s just sitting on a couch till you lose critical muscle mass, but it’s your brain. (No shame to sitting on a couch or losing muscle mass, I’m just trying to explain it in relative terms)

Currently there is no way to use ai without causing ai hallucinations, because there isn’t a model readily available that runs as a tool, there are only models that run as a manipulative tool that provoke said replacement of your thinking, I can not assume that’s an accident. Seeing the usual levels of evil that come from the companies pushing this hard, tells me this is just as evil, if not the most evil thing they’ve done, measured against all the things they’re openly flouting, copyright law, openly burning rare literature for a monopoly, burning the already past tipping point climate, burning computer ownership and accessibility, I could go on. Theres very open bribery and flouting of social rules laws and common moralities, they’re desperate to cause this monster they’ve created out of ai, to attach like the symbiot in aliens that I forget the name of because I’m pre first coffee and my brain just be like that.

I am anti ai, as it currently stands. The current versions need to be left to die in silence and hatred and rejection we are all collectively currently showing. Only because it has been made into a Frankensteins monster, by the people responsible who have infinite money to pay judges to rule their way and have zero morals, nay a deficit of morals.

Ai will survive the ai bubble, because the ai bubble is the unsustainable practices of the billionaires and the manipulative interface designed to lessen your critical thinking skills.

But the ai that survives the bubble will and should be so highly regulated (it’s currently the opposite) and used as a tool, not a replacement for critical thinking, it can never do that. But there are so many things it can do to better humanity, none of which are currently being used.

We have to wait this one out. We’re not missing any boat.

Oooh, a tuxedo, they’re mad fkrs. Is it the Chinese people who call them cow cats? I have one. I named her Sparrow, after captain Jack sparrow. Because she’s absolutely mad. No fear. She once brought a rat into my house, she’s a particularly small cat, people think she’s still a kitten, the rat was nearly as big as her. It was biting her, she didn’t care. She was in heaven. I was holding a bucket over this rat, side note, I’m ABSOLUTELY TERRIFIED of rats, so I’m holding this bucket with a book, and my plan is catch and release. But I’m terrified, so I’m just holding this bucket and shaking and not really able to go near the rat. The rat got so sick of being attacked by my cat, it walked to the bucket and put itself in. Like just with, I’m done with this, vibes. And I took it outside. And ran back inside squealing ew.

So yeah. My similar looking cat is named Sparrow.

What’s the marketing for this. Eat enough plastic, become plastic, be immortal? Eat enough plastic to override the effects of climate change, live long enough to see the billionaires in their bunkers rot because they don’t know how to open food packaging themselves? Eat enough plastic you can now perform your own plastic surgery, with the free companion microwave app?
