it is when you have a giant pile of money to live off of and buy stocks on firesale

man i’m like a couple years behind ya. could you tell me the ballpark of what you’re retiring on so i can be envious :D

I completely disagree. The two statements are completely clear. You can take one or the other independently and they maintain their original meaning. Like I said, the second statement bears no impact on the first no matter how you try to bend the rules. Have a nice day.

It is syntactically two independent clauses (or a compound sentence) joined by an em dash rather than a single, indivisible thought. Each half contains its own subject and verb structure. Punctuation does not equate to inseparability. You assume second half acts as a pivot (“setup for a ‘but’”). But look at the actual words: there is no “but” or ideological reversal present. They were expressing two distinct emotional stances: a political/institutional cynicism (“I don’t care if they target a government agency I don’t like”) followed by a cynical motive attribution (“they’re just another bunch of assholes out to make a profit”).

good for you.

wrong, the following statement had no impact on the first.

wouldn’t doubt it

ya bro, we’re going to ban churches from showing crosses next. you got it.

What you said was “I don’t care if they target a government agency I don’t like - they’re just another bunch of assholes out to make a profit.” not “even if they attack someone I don’t like, I still won’t celebrate it because I know what their motivation is.”.

In or out of context, "I don’t care if they target a government agency I don’t like"means the exact same thing. It’s a stand alone statement not impacted by your second sentence.

Your rephrasing makes more sense and the two parts of your sentence can not be separated without changing the meaning.

not that i’m a meta fan, I fucking hate that company, but this swings both ways. Imagine your local coffee shop is boosting posts about traditional marriage and pro-life themes. They get blocked as well.

" don’t care if they target a government agency I don’t like" - you should. This opens all of them up to blackmail and worse by foreign govts. Massive problem for both you, me, and everyone else. The first Tom cruise mission impossible movie was about this very same thing except it was the CIA.

uh sure. i’m a software engineer of 25 years. i’ve had google, facebook, amazon, you name it, try to get me in to interview with them without me sending resumes. I’m not a top tier super nerd coder but I’m not bad either. These stories all sound like bullshit to me. The whole “THE AI AGENT SWARM BROKE OUT OF CONFINEMENT AND STARTED TALKING TO EACH OTHER”… again, I’m a mid swe… They weren’t sandboxed to begin with - some fucking moron at anthropic gave all the agents access to a shared package registry. A simple “Do you see anyway these agents could communicate” prompt would’ve caught it. Something so fucking stupid that I wouldn’t be surprised if an intern would’ve caught it. They’re not sandboxed if they all have read/write access to a shared registry, it’s basically a big message board.

These stories just stink like marketing. I use Fable all day, I have to for my current job, it low key sucks ass.

What a stupid fucking statement. There’s not going to be any workers left.

“In what world is JavaScript considered buggier than Flash” if I have to walk you through this then this conversation is over lmao

nah hard disagree. Flash was the core of the web and it got gutted so Apple and Google so leach their 30% cut from their app stores. HTML / JS is still a buggy piece of crap that depends on what the major browser makers declare is valid, no better than adobe had with flash. Flash was the browser in the browser and they hated it.

lmao thanks for the laugh. HTML / JS is still a buggy pile of slop. Apple and Google both dropped support so they could stop Flash from providing app experiences through the browser and forced people into their own app stores. Flash was installed on 99% of computers around the world. It was top tier web and it STILL hasn’t recovered. The current web experience is complete garbage in comparison.

Fuck apple. I’ll never forgive jobs for nuking the internet. When jobs killed Flash in order to herd users into his app store, the internet was never the same.

I saw this ruling and fully disagree.

Uh AI steals everyone’s work. How it’s legal I’ll never know.

reddit stinks super bad
