Windows 11

Calm down MacOS hasn't done shit to make it better. They decide what you do and don't get, daddy apple already made the decision and you have to deal with it.

"We did the thinking for you, and you'll like it." Might as well be their slogan.

Actual real political cartoon. Just... wtf

I think the point of the cartoon is that some people genuinely are like this. They can't see the human in front of them without classifying them politically and deciding based on those metrics whether they're a good person or not. It's just "you're a liberal, and therefore I don't have to care about you."

Then they'll turn around and pretend to be a Christian or whatever.

“AI took my job, literally”—Gizmodo fires Spanish staff amid switch to AI translator

This whole thing is just stupid.

Did we get angry when computers cut accounting staff by 75% because one person and QuickBooks can do the job of a whole fleet of people? No. AI will change jobs in the same way computerization changed jobs. The same way the combine changed farming and the cotton gin changed textiles.

What we need to ACTUALLY BE WORRIED ABOUT is what we failed to be concerned with last time. The productivity increase and job elimination just went to the fucking top of the ladder. If that happens again we will have massive unemployment.

We need to tax the shit out of companies using AI to replace humans, and start setting up the infrastructure for the inevitable UBI that further automation will require.

I fully understand

It has nothing to do with social fear, every fucking call on my personal and work phone is a scam.

Get that shit under control and then maybe I'll answer my cell phone once in awhile lol

Though if I was really lost I think I'd be answering every call tbh.

Looking at you, Google and Unity.

The short term benefits are the reason they're doing this in the first place.

Immediate revenue and growth is the goal, long term business viability and consumer base is an acceptable sacrifice to meet that goal.

Who cares if the company went under five months after I left! When I was the CEO we had record profits

If you can spring for it buy some high protein beans or lentils or some other legume and mix them, almost every society on the planet no matter the geography invented rice and beans because it's so damn easy to store for long periods of time and will get you the protein and calories you need to survive.

Is it fun? No. But it will get you fed and it's an excellent base to throw in other things to spice it up. Get a little extra money and can afford a bit of meat and veggies? Sauteed them up and you get a full blown meal with a side dish and a porkchop/fish filet/chicken breast with your rice.
