I have helped organize a workplace and I cant think of a way AI could have aided us. My fellow organizers would occasionally ask it advice or questions about labor law.
The first use case didn't produce anything overly helpful, but maybe it helped soothe their nerves. The second use case... We're not lawyers and the devil is in the details. Fortunately we had help from the organization we joined. They were extremely helpful and knowledgeable.
Lmao right?
I can't believe the Hamburgler ate my hamburger!
Some people do meth.
You're only seeing the people who don't give a single fuck. This won't affect them, this will affect anonymous posters and people who aren't even "posting" but are using online communication to talk to other people directly (chat rooms, direct messaging)
mapping users and their contacts
Don't need to use meta products for them to stalk you. Just need to be close enough to someone who refuses to avoid them.
Nothing like picking up all the slack because the guy who usually watches TV on shift is once again watching TV, this time with the boss.
Meta absolutely does not respect robots.txt. they are scraping what I have at around 200 hits / minute.
I also notice there is some data center somewhere (or multiple) proxying all its requests through residential proxies so I can't tell who is scraping. They don't scrape like Meta though. Far slower. These are the stealthy bois using spoofed user agents you mention. Can't tell who they are, though. How do they get so many residential IPs?
I have no organic traffic (I am literally just running a crawler tarpit. My page has nothing) so its really obvious that Im watching AI scrappers. My tarpit generates random links that all resolve to the same place so its super obvious its not human. Its also super obvious when two distinct IPs follow the same random word salad link milliseconds apart.
Total public school funding for who? This sounds like an average.
Wouldn't a district in a poor area be more reliant on federal $?
One of my elementary classes growing up was taught out of a trailer because the school couldn't afford repairs. I grew up in an extremely poor area.
Edit - wikipedia says in 2010, "The median income for a household in the county was $83,456 and for a family was $97,557. Males had a median income of $63,187 versus $48,750 for females. The per capita income for the county was $38,660. About 3.3% of families and 5.3% of the population were below the poverty line, including 6.9% of those under age 18 and 5.5% of those age 65 or over.[50]"
They're probably fine monetarily honestly but who knows.
You somehow completely understand her point without understanding her words.
She's an anthropologist, she's referencing what was normal during much of human history/prehistory.
Its worth pointing out it wasn't always this way, its not inevitable. Its all optional. We designed these social structures with our brains.
"It targets the left" doesn't survive the data
I mean, sure but, isn't that like pointing out you've banned vegans to your BBQ ribs restaurant along with (insert group here)
Loot boxes showing up in games normalizes gambling even if you don't let your kids buy them. Their peers might do it anyway and share that interest with them. Then they'll ask for digital currency for $GAME for Christmas.
Random loot boxes should be removed from games IMHO. Let games be games.
