You couldn’t resist the temptation to sneak in that bit about “gun control”. You’ve overplayed your hand.

At least Hitler cared about Germany, or something.

lol, AI cultists are a thin-skinned bunch. OP was sharing a funny thing they noticed and you’re acting like they threw dirt on your mother

72% is way too low given how insane the current wealth distribution is. Fully 1/4 of the population have drunk the kool-aid

I wasn’t even implying they needed it, just that none of the people in power are going to change their minds on anything as a result of the protests.

If any other country did the things Israel has done, we’d be sanctioning them at a minimum. We invaded Iraq both times for less.

As far as I can tell the US has only slightly less than an average number of public holidays, but the amount of PTO is close to zero for a lot of people.

EU working time directive requires 28 paid days off per year (including public holidays) as a minimum.

There’s a weirder variant where they always cover meat with a draining rack while it’s marinating. After N years the grandparent visits for dinner and explains “yes but you see we had a cat…”

If your dinner scrapings are too soupy or wet to go in the bin, you can tip the whole thing in the toilet so you don’t have to fanny about trying to sieve the noodles and vegetables while decanting it into the kitchen sink.

30 years old when I had dinner at a friend’s house and they did it casually like it was obvious.

The article says, “This is basically a human supervising driver whose entire job is to watch the car and make sure it does not drive itself into a ditch.”

That is such a weird fucking thing to say on every level.

These people really do just assume that everyone is as awful a human being as they themselves are.

The Top Gear Reliant Robin launch reached 3000ft / 900m, although they were unable to stick the landing.

I do so hope that Stephen Schwarzman, Blackstone’s CEO and cofounder, fucks right off.

most devs… Kinda suck at their job

Also they like to make memes about how it’s the rest of the world that’s doing best practices, software testing, teaching, and interviewing all wrong

yeah, I can see not having a social media profile at all being treated as tantamount to sedition before too long

laced with irony

The protests were baked into the Project 2025 plan from its inception. They’ve changed nothing.

I’m increasingly convinced that while AI in general had a big leap forward a few years ago, since then there’s some mass hysteria type effect where everyone seems convinced that it’s been getting steadily better at the same rate - when I’ve not been able to see any of that.

I keep reading all these benchmarks that are supposedly destroyed every three months, but they never seem to turn into any noticeable improvements when I use the damn things. It’s now at the stage where if someone tries to tell me otherwise I just assume they’re either a bot themselves, or falling for some kind of hysteria/confirmation bias type effect.

So, it wouldn’t surprise me in the least if autopilot literally was getting worse as they try forcing more data into it and getting nothing but overfit. It was already as good as it was going to be based on its fundamentals, which is to say, not good enough.

Making sure your advisors only tell you what you want to hear has always gone well for past dictatorships.

Yeah, it was never not going to happen. Shareholders demand unending year-on-year growth at all costs, forever, until everything is shit.
