This is such a stupid poll question. As if democracy ever existed in the United States.

The polite thing to do in this instance is to get on her level by pounding your own set of shots.

A person in a banana suit is basically a prerequisite of any ska show. We used to have inter-punk solidarity; these guys must have not gotten the memo.

I use Excel to calculate the ages of the oldest rocks in the Solar System. If I was using it to find accounting loopholes for a private equity firm, I'd probably kill myself.

Ted's problem is that he equates the tools and the processes of post-industrial society with its people. Just because the possibility exists for these surrogate activities to replace meaningful work doesn't mean we all succumb automatically.

I'm 5 months behind on my podcasts so I'm now listening to all the coverage and analysis of the Maduro kidnapping. Everybody was saying that with how cheap oil is, it doesn't make sense to try to take Venezuelan oil which is heavy and requires a lot of refinement. In that context shutting down the Strait of Hormuz makes perfect sense.

Go get a PhD and an academic position. The pay is shit but nobody will care whether you show up or not.

It was so frustrating seeing the press and attention he got 2016 and onward, when he had been the butt of every joke and a symbol of everything trashy about NYC since the 1980s.

For sure, but the growth rate is rapidly decreasing in the developing world too. If that continues eventually there will be nobody left to run the machines.

I'd love to watch these geniuses try to "innovate" their way out of cleaning toilets.

The irony is that this causes birth rates to plummet, which eliminates the future workforce for the very companies forcing childcare to be untenable. One of the major contradictions of capitalism is that it does not reproduce its own labor force. I guess the resolution is to replace human workers with AI.

 

Somebody I'm sure has already said this, but the Turing test assumed AIs would need to prove their intelligence by appearing human in their speech, but now the problem is the opposite, that humans will have to somehow prove that they are not LLMs when they type anything on the internet.

 

Why are there several overlapping coats of paint that are peeling off? I thought this was the new and flashy Boeing plane? The airline was Scoot.

 

I have no idea how the Fediverse works. I use Sync just like I did for Reddit because it's simple. Is there anything I can do to help?
