Elders are not the solution. Hero worship is a fatal flaw, and this author might know that, but the headline suggests otherwise.

People have said that, but I disagree. I think that fascists really are that stupid. It looks like a strategy because a lot of mainstream media has been happy to embrace the chaos, all they want is that 24-hour news cycle. But if you look at reliable political writers, people who think long-term, none of Trump’s bullshit baffles anyone.

If you think about the tariffs, he was trying to flex because he’s a narcissist, and people around him, perhaps including himself, were getting richer through insider trading. It’s a basic scam. Everyone understands it. No one is baffled.

Wait a second. Are you saying we can hack them? This is wonderful.

Unless people use nukes, right? Yeah. Maybe you lose everything. That’s the risk, my friend.

Right, listen to that manosophere and you can commit some R or SA … Is that what you mean by “get laid”?

Depends what you mean by social media. I watch YouTube similar to watching TV. Doesn’t feel anything like Mastodon or Lemmy to me, you know what I mean?

Cyber Empires (PC), Shadowrun (Genesis), Betrayal at Krondor (PC).

I don’t want anyone to have access to nuclear weapons, since you asked.

But the reality is that some countries, including Israel and the United States, already have them. These two countries are currently engaged in military and terroristic activity in multiple international venues. So if that’s the rules that the big boys are playing with, and then someone else comes along and considers whether they might want to join the party too, your question is I think irresponsible. What you should have been asking is, what is likely to keep the Iranian people safer, nukes or no nukes?

In Palestine and Israel and Iran, it’s fine to look at the governments and say how bad they are, and you may well be right, or maybe not, I don’t know. But we can look at the people whose lives are being destroyed or permanently ended and wish that those numbers went down. If the administrations are full of evil jerks and they stay in power but the death count drops, that’s still a good thing.

When you say most countries, which countries are you talking about?

And if you’re wondering where the US goes for help, I’m not sure what you mean, but there have been a variety of peacekeeping missions and wars over the past few decades where other countries worked alongside the United States. Whether you think those military operations were justified is a different question, but if you’re looking for which countries worked together, you can easily find out by browsing Wikipedia for 20 minutes.

Trust your instincts. If it’s really easy to write LLM prompts and generate consistently useful quality output, then there’s no chance you’ll make a lot of money doing so. You won’t even make a little money doing so, because that work will be outsourced to another country with a lower minimum wage.

Of course that’s the point. The AI snake oil sales people want bosses to believe that they can underpay or fire employees, but we know that it doesn’t work that way, that all of these companies are just screwing about to make a little bit of money for either the shareholders or the bosses or both.

It is interesting how people think that they know exactly what they’re going to write before they even start. Of course, most professional writers will tell you otherwise. You have to put the words on paper to see how they fit and to see if you’re happy with them.

That’s what they’re banking on, but we know that eventually they will f*** it up and lose everyone.

Probably the pipes get ugly if the plumber is trying to install 11s and 22s. Probably they will have a different idea.

The article is also full of bullshit and it gets basic history wrong. The agreement was never made, but to the extent it exists anyway, it was never supposed to be about a monopoly that’s destroying shit. Once upon a time, not even very long ago, there were competing search engines.

I know tech writers want to write stories that sound fancy, but if they don’t know the facts and the history then they need to find someone to proofread their work more carefully.

And maybe that’s okay, isn’t it?

Why? That question always has multiple answers. Are you asking for a historical timeline? That might be the true story, but it also might not feel compelling.

Above all else, remember that Reddit feels many sources of pressure. They want money and users, but they also need to limit spam, and they don’t wanna piss off the rich stock holders, either.

I don’t think we can accept your argument, because in point in fact Hong Kong was an independent country. Certainly trying to disagree but now we’re getting into a definition question, but if that’s going to stop us from applying the proposed principle, then we can do that in every situation.

Well no, it’s not, because they have multiple monopolies. So we should blame them and blame government for not stopping them.

Obviously the situations are different. We all know that. The point is that it’s hypocritical of a company to say hey, let’s ask our employees to do more by throwing AI at them, and then getting pissed off when potential employees do the same thing.

Although I think it’s more funny than anything else. The company found out that people are gaming the system, which means they have a really shitty system, and rather than change how they interview people or what types of questions they ask, they’re just acting obstinate.

I think we’ve seen enough changes in social media platforms over the past few decades to say that your claim is true until it’s not. As payments to content creators fall, and as garbage postings increase, the actual value to the average user of the site is clearly decreasing. So we’ll see how long YouTube is relevant.
