Optional@lemmy.worldto Science Memes@mander.xyz•The 2025 Ig Nobel Prize WinnersEnglish24·20 hours agoOkay, I can see ragging on the dudes eating Teflon, but don’t hassle the Italian Pasta Physicists. Those fuckers are on to something.
Yeah, get in what you want because in twenty years the greatest thing your brain will enjoy is not processing anything of consequence.
Could you learn cuneiform and gain a rich understanding of 18th Century Viennese intellectual culture, if you didn’t know anything about that before? Sure.
*burp* But then you’ll be like “ah, gotta bring in the trash cans and then I can sit.”
“What if we just let George do whatever he wants and nobody says anything?”
Optional@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•A ‘demoralizing' trend has computer science grads out of work — even minimum wage jobs. Are 6-figure tech careers over?English17·2 days agoAI money is stupid cheap if you know who to bullshit. And, y’know, have no principles.
Optional@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•A ‘demoralizing' trend has computer science grads out of work — even minimum wage jobs. Are 6-figure tech careers over?English28·2 days agoIt’s not just that. HR departments (who, let’s be honest, were never exactly super-clear on what tech roles are or do because they’re busy with everything else) have been infected by AI to the point that no one can just see a job and apply for it unless they rearrange everything in the resume to match the job posting verbiage exactly.
Everyone who makes it past that hurdle are sorted lowest-to-highest salary requirements. Oh you have seventeen years experience? Fuck you. Everyone after that is sorted by age/race/ whatever. It’s the perfect system for fucking up tech hiring.
Unless you rebrand everything you do as AI. Then you’ll get 100 million dollars from Zuckabug. (It used to be “cloud” but that was a long time ago now). So the tech manager who knows what they’re looking for gets a bunch of applications from newbies who talk like AI is everything and they don’t want that.
It’s super fucked.

His phony media outlets have been cited in news articles or social media posts thousands of times, and both the US Treasury and Washington Postallege connections between Dougan, the Moscow-based Center for Geopolitical Expertise (CGE), and the Main Directorate of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation (GRU).
Florida man.
I still say it was about THE EPSTEIN FILES and not the nazi that the other nazi shot.
I don’t doubt they wanted to gauge reactions. I doubt ABC was part of that in any way.

Okay but why in that way - during the taping of a show? That doesn’t seem very “planned”. That seems like a desperate rush.
Over the weekend would have been smoother. Hell, just about any other way would have been smoother.
They gave Colbert another year.
Hell yeah he does cat stuff.
Come over here he’s got some cat stuff with your name on it!
The “he was fired for talking about Charlie Kirk” narrative is a lie.
He was talking mostly about the Epstein Files.
That’s the one!
Keep the faith good hir knight.
