@uzayran We need to start replacing management & CEOs with chatboxes and "AI" and leave the people who do the actual jobs alone.

North Korea’s first military satellite failed to reach space and crashed into the Yellow Sea, Pyongyang’s state media said, also noting “At least we lasted longer than SpaceX.”

So, you say you don't believe in magic?

Tell me your birthday, billing zip code and the last four digits of your social security number and I'll tell you your last credit card purchase.

Oh hey! I just had my first social media post to be taken down from any platform ever, on LinkedIn. Yay! My post about the flabbergasting amounts of racism in "AI" violated their "professional" community guideline. Indeed. Its quite professional to be as racist as possible, but not professional to call it out. Totally makes sense.

Why AI really is dangerous to Society...
'what we are witnessing is the wealthiest companies in history... unilaterally seizing the sum total of human knowledge that exists in digital, scrapable form and walling it off inside propriety products, many of which will take direct aim at the humans whose lifetime of labor trained the machines without giving permission or consent.'

We are not allowed in the dining room while people are eating and we protest this by silently and awkwardly suffering.

Mark Twain famously said, "It's easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled." Convincing someone that they have been fooled involves the admission that they made a foolish choice without the proper vetting. This can be especially difficult when masses of people and vast sums of money are involved.

"Too Drunk to Fuck" is the fourth single by Dead Kennedys released in May 1981 with "The Prey" as the B-side.

Enshittification is like entropy, you can’t escape it, even when you buy hardware. A John Deere Tractor, an ink cartridge, or a fitness tracker. Without the right to repair, you don’t even own things you bought, you merely possess a useless brick of e-waste, protected by copyright. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2023/04/amazon-will-brick-all-halo-health-trackers-on-august-1/

@pluralistic is probably already aware of this, but since I am reading Chokepoint Capitalism at the moment, it seems à propos.

it literally took the US tech press the better part of fifteen years to realize musk was an unremarkable rich brat cosplaying as a supergenius engineer, which says more about our press than it does musk

A woman posted in a Facebook group that I am in that she is attaching her youngest child to the grocery cart with a carabiner, so nobody tries to kidnap her.

I pointed out that 90%+ of abductions are custody disputes and no one has ever stolen a child from a store in the US. It’s not how human trafficking works, and we should really be more concerned about things that are harming kids daily.

Within 5 minutes I was booted from the group.
