To be this fearful of false narratives is to be anti-American imo.


Not great with hardware tbh… will I soon be able to nab 64 or 128gb of ddr5 compatible with my American gaming pc?


As a non-dev person who recently started using AI to get into doing some computer programming, I think the marketing by the CEOs has done a lot of harm. People who truly know what they’re doing and who are very careful thinkers could see all along that this technology is not at a point to where the following hype was true:
-it will not entirely replace human workers,
-it’s almost certainly not going to be better at what it’s doing than a true expert,
-and it remains to be seen whether or not it will ever be able to generate truly unique, bespoke, and fundamentally new solutions… you know, like what humans had to do for every single issue that came before…
And what it’s really good at from my perspective is allowing a non-expert person to generate productive materials in an area where they are not a master-level technician/developer/knowledge worker. It has really dissolved the barrier of entry and the value associated with routine technical skills, for better or worse.
The practical issues though involved with massive data centers, the price rises associated with computer parts, and all the other environmental garbage that’s happening is pretty discouraging though. This technology has legit potential for benefit, but the companies and CEOs have ultimately made it into a moral conundrum whether or not it should be put to use.
Typical capitalism, imo …


It’s crazy. I generally try not to go to locations where there are snipers present, no matter who’s side they’re on.


It’s not the engineer that gets anything extra when the business people make a cut to the product, lol. The engineer is going to be the one arguing against it, but ultimately unable to steer the ship at all…


Once again, everyore and everything else ends up suffering to acommodate the Repubs. Ugh


Just let the farmers deal with it. If meat becomes unaffordably expensive, then let them eat vegetables I guess? This is what they wanted


Religious people should really keep this sorta thing in the privacy of their own home… Lol


Yeah, same thing with Putin. His dismissive attitude toward the soldiers lost in his own war… Trump would happily send a few million of his own American soldiers to their deaths if he wanted to, for even vanity reasons, and it wouldn’t even register.
I just can’t trust my fellow Americans anymore after this. I’m surrounded by losers.


Agreed… neither party “won”, both are worse off as a result, both will continue to be worse off for years, and the American and Iranian civilians are the ones who will pay the bill physically, socially, and financially because Trump couldn’t comprehend that some entity may exist who would not instantly roll over and show it’s belly in submission.
Now Trump has supercharged the terrorists, AND the Iranian people will hate America for decades which will make regime change even more difficult. They will have to suffer even longer under theocratic repression now, thanks to Trump and his Fox News war-bro wannabe Nazi department head. If anyone in this administration had a brain, this would have been the main point of discussion before any bombs were dropped.


Literally. In my mind, anyone who voted Republican is complicit with murder. I’m just more disgusted each and every day.


Could we develop some exchange rate, like for every instance of torture against a child, the offending party should be made to endure something like 10,000 instances of torture?


I’m not sure the insurance companies will pay out when someone loses a quarter billion dollar freighter plus cargo and associated personnel in a warzone when they come back with “but we put a cheap drone out front just to check for mines” lol


Israel certainly did this on purpose. This is right out of their Gaza play book
It’s wild to me that other countries can see this happening and not immediately begin dumping US tech. If they can do to your email, they can do it to literally anything else they want
