They’re venture capitalists they’re obsessed with risk in the sense they believe big risk = big reward and are vain enough to believe they can force several hundred million people to vote against their best interests with some poorly done smoke and mirrors. They forgot most VC ventures are failures because they’re too far up their own asses to see reality anymore

They banned all of us… I know I’m among many other early Reddit users who were considered “power users” by Reddit’s own metrics, many of us were purged early. I hit the front page several times when it was still a “big deal” and was very active in comments. If they wanted more content and input they shouldn’t have banned people like me who were actually making the place human

When you say it like that, in this context… it seems, weird, right? Like something is off…

They need it so they can have reasons they like their own kids

Is that really why they’re blocking it I wonder…

Is this the same thing as the “Reddit hug of death”?

To make an apple pie from scratch you must first create the universe

That’s why political dissident has to happen in the real world with people we know in real life, protests are great places to meet people like that, so are all sorts of activist things like volunteer work or community organizing

As a normal person, huh?

I’m an Anerican and I’ve not really had any of these issues. The bagging area one yes, but otherwise no real problems and I’ve never in my life had a cart lock up. I try to avoid self check out, it’s not my job so why am I doing it?

Hey, I’m here! wtf just going to ignore me like that??

Google just, talks to me now? I’m not searching technical stuff I have an old habit of just plugging random subjects or ideas into a search bar and seeing what the internet thinks not for any reason other than I find it interesting, I’ve been doing this since the Ask Jeeves days it’s just a thing I do at this point. But now Google wants to talk to me about those ideas or topics instead of showing me what the internet at large is saying/thinking about them. It’s definitely no longer a tool for finding new or unique ways of seeing or thinking about things.

I’d love to do this but I’m totally tech illiterate

Isn’t it having the ability to create that would make it extremely potentially dangerous?

Is he talking about Russian prostitutes to cheat on his wife with?

I don’t think how “we” are currently choosing to use AI was inevitable but I do think AI was inevitable

If you shop around and plan to only own a car 2-3 years you can pay significantly less but it’s definitely uncommon. I currently lease an R1T (Rivian truck) for about half the monthly cost of purchasing it and my three year lease is up this December and I won’t be leasing it again,I had zero interest in purchasing a first gen electric so it worked out for me. Leasing isn’t inherently bad but it’s often exploited by companies and used exactly as you described.

Even if that’s true, use AI for the paperwork it can be used for, retain some nurses for paperwork then reduce nurse to patient ratios for the remainder of nurses that were doing paperwork and aren’t doing it any longer. Ratios are critical for quality of care

Algorithms have been doing this for years now
