if you would bristle at a European saying "every single American deserves to suffer and die because they elected Trump" or even just "all Americans are stupid" but you have no problem saying that about Kansas or Texas or Alabama, maybe think about why that is!

the metaverse is all about having a camera pointed at your face at all times. "AI" "wearables" point a camera at everyone else's face at all times. it's not a fucking pivot dude is literally just obsessed with getting upskirt pics and has been for decades
Meta Platforms is planning cuts to the metaverse—an arena Mark Zuckerberg once called the future of the company—and will shift spending to AI wearables.

Zuckerberg’s bet on immersive online worlds has lost the company more than $77 billion since 2020.

Using AI for captions is such a weird idea because...OK, fine, it's "quicker", but you'd still need an actual person to check that the translation is accurate, right?
So..if you're doing that, then surely the person checking the accuracy should just, I don't know, do the captioning?
Crazy.

Hi other tech folks! Does anyone have recommendations for trans-friendly recruiters on the West Coast?
I’m a lead product manager with around a decade of experience. Looking to shift back to a salaried position after consulting the last couple years.
Reposts appreciated, thanks!

People have this weird idea that if you don't think people are evil, it's because you are naive and think every terrible act is secretly justified or something.
I don't know how to tell y'all that that is Christianity talking. I can think humans aren't evil & still think some are pieces of shit.

An easy way to explain luddites:
Textile manufacturers brought in machines that could do in an hour what would have taken 12 hours by hand.
And then, tried to keep paying the now 12x more productive workers the same wages as before.
That's it, that was the problem luddites had. Not complex.

Signing this pledge, which largely resembles what I wrote in my manifesto and what I have practiced publicly, with others since April. I hope that making this call to action explicit, that hearing from colleagues instead of Palestinians, and that social capital help ostracize our willful ignorance.

Angry about the Amazon AI anime “dubs” on Banana Fish and other shows that were removed in English but are still up in Spanish? This is a VERY GOOD script in Spanish to go bully Amazon more! Thank you so much, Caramel Machete, I really owe you one 😍
I added some stuff, but I did try to convey the seriousness of the matter
