Yes it is, they might put out words to the contrary but their actions will be blind support. I hope I'm wrong about that.

I applaud topics like this that get to the banality and dehumanization involved with the promises of an AI future. To me, if AI fulfills even some of its promises then it puts us in a rather high stakes situation between the people that mak

Wonder what the % of houses are sold that aren't for the owners primary residence. Also what % in cash.

I’d go into psychology research. I have some very low percentage chance mental health traits and there’s not many people studying what I have who have lived experience and are not too disabled to study it. I know I’d enjoy doing clinical wo

Planners. Something to help me make sense of what my priorities are during the day. Something to help me determine what needs my attention. I have a lot of systems, but I could really use a Jarvis at work right now and it seems like the who

Any other threads on the prevalence and nuisance of scrapers? I didn’t have any idea it was this bad.

If they go in this direction they're going full bore. I love how with tech, now the only future that anyone can imagine is one that nobody but tech executives want.

It’s not cutthroat, it’s comfortable partnership with a cutthroat veneer. If either of them wins, they have a monopoly and are at higher risk of regulation or breakup. So they fight openly over small fries, and keep writing dividend checks.

I've gone on disability, its insane the loops one has to jump through to get it, especially if you want the private disability insurance to kick in. It took months of paperwork and re-filing appeals. I'm in a state with a better s

At this rate, maybe in 10, 20 years they might be forced to pay a few million dollar fee, and the FTC can do the can can in front of their office (after paying the venue fees of course).

I don’t think their words mean just about anything, only the behavior of the models. Still waiting of Full Self Driving myself.

It had its time, but its just not accessible to people - shooters which require as much attention, mechanical skill and perseverance but at least matches are relatively quick and there's a team element. Starcraft can be just grind grin

If CBT performed as well as David Burns suggests, we’d really have no need for therapists. Alas, it turns out that cognitive problems aren’t a factor in a lot of mental health. I state this as someone who’s read all the literature and spent

It was really proof that gameplay often takes a back seat to visual identity, ESPECIALLY if the gameplay is extremely derivative, which this was. They had a massive amount of goodwill from fans of the genre, but when they started sharing sc

I agree, I think MOBAs superceded the "real time" part of RTS's, while the more turn based Civ/4x, Total War series strategy type games ended up taking a lot of the base building part. Having them both together was just

This really isn’t the free market, this is de facto cartels when like 90% of media properties are owned by 3 or 4 companies.

It’s more that it takes so long to get anything done, the effort and results need to be recorded because it most often won’t be obvious from the impact. It’s hard to make a splash on a production system maintained by 30 other people, but yo

AI is busy quietly convincing every executive that uses it that they have no use for people to work out the details of their ideas anymore. It’s so frustrating to have these drive by executives come into a space you’re working in, drop in a

Not only are you discouraged from criticizing half baked manager-metric led implementations, you’re deeply incentivized to openly praise it if you want to be considered for the next well-funded initiative. People with fiefdoms don’t like cr

Responding to your message: > in what way is the opinion "generally negative" I'm just trying to tell you what people outside your bubble think, that AI is VERY MUCH a class thing. Using AI images at people is seen as comp

I hate having to rely on my own sense of what happened in a meeting, or which executive is upset about something. While its usually accurate, it's been borne out of chaotic leadership and shouldn't be necessary, especially if its

We have no guardrails on our private surveillance society. I long for the day that we solve problems facing regular people like access to education, hunger, housing, and cost of living.

Seemingly the primary economic beneficiaries of AI are people who own companies and manage people. What this means for the average person working for a living is probably a lot of change, additional uncertainty, and additional reductions in
