YouTube videos... It's getting harder. If they don't make mistakes, I can't tell anymore.

My CTO and I had a fun convo at 7am about em dashes before a big client preso. We all know we all do it. Why do we care at this point? It's just being transparent.

Read above you thinking... You mean she's a brick.. house?

I watch a lot of YouTube about everything nerdy and celebratory to every detail and facet about the global apocalypse. Yesterday for the first time in months, a novel idea got through to me.. dude was talking about the overblown reactionary movement to which I initially ate my own vomit.. yes, I consume this drug, but yes, I am cognisant it's really bad, so don't tell me it's all okay... Something along lines of "everyone thinks it's like the industrial revolution. It's not. It's like the Internet or mobile devices. We just forget how big a change those were now that they're normative, so it sounds psychotic to compare AI to such "small" shifts in society like the Internet or mobile".. and I felt a fuck ton better. Copium or not, it's nice to hear a grounded take (he backed it up), and neither a sycophant or chicken little diatribe that feel respectively like sociopaths with heads in the ground or click bait unsubstantiated drama.

Not undermining what AI is doing to people, society, and the ecology. But now that I type that, thinking what to follow, anyone remember Mary Poppins? How normal it was for little kids covered in soot missing fingers at the dawn of the industrial revolution. We just need regulation which is the actual fundamental shift problem, as demand for political action is no longer democratized now that the Citizens have United.

Am I a douche? Lying to myself?

Fair. But different than "wanting to kill" someone. You want to remove harm. Like the whole purpose of prison, leper colonies, community shaming, etc

Lol that's awesome. Along with Wayne's World those were universal things even jocks watched in our generation. I've lived in NYC and SF my whole life so I forget that college is livelihood outside of major metros and even in some. So every year during brackets, on sales calls, I have to smile and nod for hours and weeks listening to other men debate the merits of colleges they have no relationship with, while having absolutely nothing to add to the conversation

I love that you even bring sources to these kinds of posts lol

Even after all this, you pick the whataboutism. Incredible.

Nice setup. I like the display shelf right there. Great record!

Yep BBS. So much of Halt and Catch Fire hit home.

Early Salesforce user (2005) so I was preached the gospel that Benioff was the face to his old boss' heel 20 years ago.

Same. Did things in college...

Gen X isn't young

Same Had to look at sub

Anyone else surprised they had this level of luxury, unnecessary design, and contemplating our quality of life in relation to our scale of economy and scientific invention?

Or were these king socks?

"I like strong man tell me what to do so no need think or fear our enemies"

Lemmy sucks. You're whiney fucks. Enjoy the win. Both sides are not the same. This is an unfathomable event previously. Anyone remember Jeff Sessions first months in office? Stop bitching and show some fucking gratitude. Thousands of people are being pardoned. Is it perfect and everything we want? No. Does that take away from the achievement? No.

It's been like 15 years of me saying at first, parallels with Idiocracy, but the last 10 or so: "you know how the beginning of every dystopian end times film begins with the news montage about natural disasters, rising populism, income inequality, and whatnot? Have you read any headlines?"
