Ahh yes, dumb people are too stupid to make the right choices so they deserve whatever is coming to them. The important thing is that we don't blame the systems that misinform people because it's the fault of the individual for being misinformed. /s

Sure, I'm on board as long as the fix isn't to cut other social safety nets.

Shit that kept me up last night:

2024: Lawyers using AI to make bad legal arguments

2025: Judges using AI to make bad legal arguments

DOGE: great news, we're using AI to get through the immigration backlog.

Damn, I guess I'll just have to download Redbook then

Meanwhile ICE is racially profiling people leaving a grocer in Bakersfield.

I mean it depends on the context of how UBI is going to get paid for. If it is funded by a wealth tax then I am on board. But that's not how the powerful proponents of UBI say it should be funded. Andrew Yang would have us take it out of Social Security to pay for it but you don't hear him say we should uncap Social Security contributions.

Yeah, because LLMs have shown they understand language and aren't bullshitting us. /s

Like I get this might generate new leads to explore, but to say it's a virtual cell as if the model is somehow self-consistent is malpractice.

AI is maturing into what exactly?

How to alienate your daughter:

This only convinces me AI can replace venture capitalists, not that it can do any actual work.

The revolutionary potential of a media platform is inverse to how mainstream it has become. Lemmy and mastadon don't need to be big to be influential because the people who show up to those platforms are (relatively) engaged in their AFK communities.

If the strategy is to use power we don't have to create new educational programs, then we're missing a step.

It's not a conspiracy, it is just the path of least resistance. Which is why capitalism is the problem.

Agents without agency is some real double speak and might reflect how many view workers.

Hitman: Climate Justice Edition

I am so down to read that. Thx for the book rec

Zuck is fine with anticompetitive actions, he just thinks you need to InOvAtE to earn the right.

My TikTok feed is rather radical, which is a non+option on all the other corporate platforms.

People like Luigi remind me of "The Children of Kali" from the book "The Ministry for the future". The Children of Kali targeted the owners of these multinational death machines but would not accept any collateral damage. Instead they were patient. The abusers got so scared they would never leave their house, but even that would not save them. Point is, these people follow a set of laws different from the ones that dominate society. They conducted themselves according to that law and that guided their assassinations. Something to think about as our own laws become lawless.

Then call it something else, conservatives love doing that. We're not forgiving, we're just unconditionally discharging the loans.
