by far the funniest use case for AI is “I use it for powerpoints because I hate making them and nobody looks at them” because it kinda sounds like the real workflow savings would be to stop making powerpoints

If you pay attention to any large industry long enough and follow it to its logical conclusion you eventually end up sounding like a communist even if you started off testing CPU case fans. youtu.be/cUrJVdF2me0?...

And if they don’t - wow, that’s great for you! You’re going to leave your competition in the dust.

Or what, Good Samaritan? Why are you so concerned for me? Won’t you benefit if I falter and stumble into the dust bin of history?

I sincerely want one good high speed rail so Americans can understand it doesn't have to be this miserable. If the LA > LV project ever finishes (🥴), that could do it.
really feels like we could fix America by just sending every American abroad for a month to experience good infrastructure

"It is against the TOS to be talked into suicide by our LLM" is possibly the most evil tech bro thing I've ever read
Additionally, OpenAI argues its not liable because Raine, by using ChatGPT for self-harm, broke its terms of service

Getting emails from recruiter places about design jobs that are offering $18-$20 an hour. People, I got $16 an hour at my very first production design gig more than 25 years ago. Adjusting for inflation that's equivalent to getting kicked in the teeth.

Punishment doesn’t work. A justice system based on the idea of punching a bad person until they’re good is flawed from the base.
"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

they must be so stoked they get to stop using microsoft teams
The International Criminal Court is ditching Microsoft Office, saying it’s too dependent on US tech, in favor of Open Desk, a German open source alternative.
The move comes after Microsoft revoked ICC head Karim Khan’s email access when he was sanctioned by the US for the warrant against Netanyahu.

This perfectly encapsulates how I feel living in the US. The republican party is an insane death cult, the democratic party is 3 corporations in a trench coat, and the "socialists" are just the completely normal left-wing capitalists you'd find in any of 2 dozen European nations.
