I'm so glad I left working for them when I did. There was about a year where I questioned my decision, but then the AI hype train started, and I never 2nd guessed my decision after.
100% those are scam listings or bait and switch. You get there and they "just sold it" but here's one they just happen to have that's 3x the price, let's get you a loan for 35%apr.
It was the first time that visual effects truly made me immersed in the movie. It also woke me up to how movies can be more than just entertainment and have messages that can resonate. Even though it was a blockbuster summer movie, it turned movies into potential art for me. I never looked at a movie the same way after.
I'll be honest, if I was off Lemmy for the week it was initially announced, I probably would have missed it. I haven't seen any notification in my app, or come across the sticky in my normal browsing.
I had completely forgotten Powell's term is up next year. I can only imagine the absolute fuckwad Trump will put in. We are so fucked if we make it that long.
In a single person's lifetime, we went from not flying to landing on the moon. We absolutely can produce AGI in most of our lifetimes. I predict within 15-20 years, we will have a functioning AGI. It may also need to coincide with actually figuring out quantum computing just for sheer computational needs.
This all hinges on if investments in AI continue at its current pace, which we already see cracks in though.
I can use your "fiddling with your os" as an argument against Linux too. Driver changes, software updates, software in general can cause ANY OS to require fiddling with to get back to operational.
It comes in waves it feels like. Just know that I personally love seeing your posts on here, and especially the sovcit stuff makes my doomscrolling less doomy.
I'll tell my past furry friends to go check up on yours, I might have my old man joining soon, so I'm sending good vibes. It gets better.
The biggest question I came away from, is reading that they claim there are cell modems in the election machines or possibly the UPS backups. Is that even confirmed? The whole article hinges on that being true. If it is, then yes, I can believe the backdoor potential they lay out. If not, then each machine would need to be tampered with individually.
To be clear, the voting data presented is and has always felt suspicious, and an investigation should occur regardless.
