The problem the complainers want to solve: More housing, more affording housing specific, for as many people as possible. The problem the company is solving, specifically when they rent the house and don’t sell it: employee retention. If a

Your sampling is flawed then. If you're arguing for some quantum metric that could make me lose it, you're for some reason not providing the word "us" with the same leverage which puts us into a situation we should just

Management: We just want everyone to be able to meet and share ideas and be in a simple easy to monetize…monitor space. It’s about team work! Employees: we want to work remotely and don’t care about your fucking problems or rational so just

No, don’t do that, now you’ve upset math. Or rather: I’ll mortgage my house and put my life savings on the line against that bet.

Imma be honest, if it was not explained to me during hiring that mandatory "3-day retreats" were part of my job on a quarterly basis, I would be finding a new job before the next one. Some people care about their "careers&quo

As someone who is extremely tuned into the sport and is also very familiar with the discussions around “why isn’t baseball fun to watch” this makes a lot of assumptions (namely what will or won’t cause humans from the world population to be

I agree that "you're talking to an algorithm that isn't capable of exclusively telling the truth, so your results may vary" isn't QUITE parody/satire, but IDK that I can take "everyone believe ChatGPT is a

I'm sure the lawyers for ChatGPT would, though sales probably keeps shooting that down.

What about them? They're suffering already. The system was built up to keep power away from the unwashed masses and in the hands of a well financed few. Why do you think the electoral college exists? Why do you think we have a Senate?

I'll just say this, if a political law professor who makes a substantial income from thinkpieces and talking head segments had a legitimate case to take on his political opponents ("liberal technologists" in this case as the

Here, maybe this article will help make you feel more sure. What you're describing is parody or satire. At least in the US, it's a very protected form of speech. https://www.theguardian.com/law/2022/oct&#

Take it more like Marx saying “Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary”. I don't like the status quo. If something will burn the whole syst

Again: Seems like the propagandists complaining that we've democratized misinformation. The state and powerful orgs/individuals has always had the resources to do this at scales large enough to be effective.

Censorship is the problem here, not AI, title is misleading (this doesn't meet the legal definition of Libel or Defamation anywhere, ever).

I don't understand, is this just saying that someone put prompts into GPT, and it spit out a specific person's name in the weird fairy tale it created? Why does this make AI the problem, and not the internet (and it's ability

You’re telling me a mega-corp buying coverage for 10000+ employees might have an advantage in negotiating price that a single “rugged individual” doesn’t?! But that sort of thinking could burst the whole “pull yourself up by your bootstraps

Point of order: Is it not possible that Trump in particular just stood in opposition to the ACLU's worldview/mission statement? For that matter, they're not really keen on some of Biden's immigration policies either. A l

This sounds like "0 code". No code is the best code because it never breaks, has 0 serve space requirements, will never need to be reformatted, etc.

Unlikely. Reddit has subreddit built right into the ecosystem, so if r/developersneedanswerstotoughcodingquestions gets taken over by an SO style mod mob, you can just go start r/fucktheolddeveloperreddit and the cycle will start
