This but with Shorts, too.

Isn’t this true of like everything AI right now?

We’re in the “grow a locked-in user base” part of their rollout. We’ll hit the “make money” part in a year or two, and then the enshittification machine will kick into high gear.

Y’know that grocery stores could simply staff enough checkout registers and then all this self-checkout time-savings goes away, right? The stores - following the airline model - created a problem for the consumer (long checkout lines due to understaffing) and then effectively sold the customer the solution (you do your own labor, but grocery prices stay the same).

This repub regime is really showing us how much our system of government depends on having good-faith actors in (elected) positions of power. There truly are not sufficient checks in place to protect against one election’s worth of bad actors.

Kind of amazing that this all worked for about 250 years, and heartbreaking that it could crumble in the next 2.5.

Joke’s on them… I put normal porn on my work laptop so they think I’m into normal shit, then I watch the REA, fucked up porn on my personal PC.

That oughta stop em!

That’s not really a thing with federal jobs. They all have pay caps, and the top cap for the highest GS role is something like 191k. Sounds like a lot, but it’s well below what industry will pay for similar high-level experience and skills.

but my growth potential!

Wouldn’t this be super exploitable? What’s to stop me from setting up a bot that auto-applies to tons of jobs on behalf of people I don’t like, thus making them “skip” whatever interviews come out of that?

Silksong demo. Let’s not get too excited here!

LOL there goes any hope of an Azure government cloud getting any traction.

No, the offensive c-word.

Lots of fluff in this article and the site itself sucks. Here’s the key paragraph:

One way to achieve this would be to impose a levy on the gross revenues of the largest AI providers, collected by a national or multilateral agency. As the technology becomes increasingly embedded in daily life and production processes, the revenue flowing to AI firms is bound to grow – and so, too, will contributions to the fund. These resources could then be distributed by independent grant councils on multiyear cycles, ensuring that support reaches a wide range of disciplines and regions.

My biggest issue with this approach is that it fails to acknowledge that AI is a bubble currently propped up by venture capital. In 1-4 years all those investors are going to want their ROI, and AI companies are going to start turning the money crank hard.

Imagine the profits from dealing with all those HIV infections.

-Big pharma, probably

“Locker room behavior”

What a bunch of fucking idiots. They could be increasing grants for AI research, offering fast-pass visas & citizenship paths to AI experts/PhDs from other countries, and working to increase the availability of necessary resources such as data centers and power. But nope! We’re just letting the commercial businesses cut corners so they can profit off of it faster.

Pretty much sums up this administration in a nutshell.

I’m in this picture and I don’t like it

TBH, I wouldn’t be shocked to see a little sign like that somewhere in CP2077. There’s some pretty detailed little dystopian shit tucked away in that game.

In no way is Peacock worth $17/month.
