Between stuff like this, state laws enforcing ID use for social media and pr0n, and the Twitter files, it seems an American Great Firewall is almost inevitable. Or, at least, the “powers that be” seem to want one. Regrettable.

They don’t. These corporations are incredibly popular among the public. Seriously. Look at any polling and you’ll find Amazon, Google, Apple with higher approval ratings than any branch of government (only the military is close), by high do

I’m sorry dang. I enjoy debate but admit I have a habit of going too far with the snark and sarcasm. Will be more respectful in the future!

It’s not just a sci-fi, it’s all books. And movies. and TV. and theater. And… The media landscape is a lot more competitive. Vastly so. Of course, with the internet, video games, social media, older forms of entertainment will lose market s

“ Humans are more than their companies' mission” Not when they’re on the clock. Besides, many of the Google employees who are against defense projects are against them because those projects actively target their home countries . Much

So does everyone apply to 200 job postings? Or is tech in a massive recession?

Uhhhhh, how do you enforce this without a great firewall?

A salary cap doesn’t change the market rate! It just obfuscates it. Salaries for public companies locked at 10M/yr? Ok, now firms have to compete on amenities. (Your current firm gives you a free car? Ours gives a jet, a personal Miche

It would be a lot cheaper to just ban the homeless from public spaces. You’d also get overwhelming support from the public — alas, it will never happen.

Modernity is the sum total of political and economic forces in the present era that are causing this identical cultural change across the planet.

It’s not about economic conditions, or culture, or religion, or anything like that. It’s modernity itself

This is the real answer. Hope you guys like competing with folks making $30k!

I mean, comparing NYC to Tokyo, yeah it’s better. “Less plastic waste” definitely isn’t the reason though.

415 hours?? Well this is the problem with tech hiring. Not convinced an IQ test or other “unstudyable” exam wouldn’t be better. Hell maybe nepotism was the way to go all along. Do other industries require 10 weeks of full time practice to g

Sure sure. But is cannabis bad in the same way whiskey is bad, or is it bad in the same way heroin is bad?

How do people write this stuff and not feel ashamed Meaningless drivel. “How do I stop being depressed? Lol just stop being sad” wow so helpful!

Completely unenforceable. How can you even tell if an image was made by AI? What if AI created an outline that was worked on by a human artist (or vice versa)? Who would the burden of proof be on? Steam has a “no AI art” policy, and it’s ra

I get why artists are trying to stop them, but this battle has already been lost. These tools have been out too long, open source models proliferate freely, and jurisdictions that don’t care about IP law will continue publishing these model

Lmao no it’s not Have you seen the sidewalks and trains in American cities? Lol Maybe if our streets and subways looked like Tokyo I’d agree with you, but getting to that point is a coup-complete problem

Why is Israel’s reaction worse? They seem to be reacting to an unprovoked attack by an openly genocidal neighbor with a pretty big-standard conventional war to eliminate the problem regime. I’m not saying that Israel couldn’t be more mindfu

This is a highly politically charged conflict that’s mainly relevant for being a sort of rhetorical proxy conflict (see all the other conflicts going on that receive a fraction of the attention). The point of discussing this topic is to r

I’m saying that the “humanitarian aid” cannot be separated from support for Hamas (or rather, that Hamas will ensure that anything the UN does in Gaza will be to its benefit).

No, these people are insane cultists who genuinely believe that they’re about to create a God. They’ve been very explicit about this. Not that they couldn’t be lying, but I’m not sure Occam’s razor would suggest that given their long histor

Lol. They obviously do. For instance: how many people here had to change the name of their master git branch to “main”?
