RandAlThor@lemmy.cato politics @lemmy.world•‘Nazi Karens’ Go Full Cancel Culture on Charlie Kirk Critics120·8 days agoDODGE is a government agency and they were carrying out a political agenda they WON the election on. Guess what, this is what we are seeing happening across the US government. The same with ICE. More than HALF of your country wanted this. I don’t like what they’re doing but that’s the choice Americans made. If you want to reverse it, elect a government that can!
There are very much other instances of us on the “left” doing this. People have gotten fired for being vaguely racist lgbt etc speech. This is very much the same type of argument they are making. This is echo chamber talk and the downvote that I am seeing is very much a reflection of the lack of self-awareness that we often accuse them of. Do reflect deeply, and not act just on the basis of your emotions and biases.
Also, do dig deeper, some have said much more than “Kirk was hateful.”
RandAlThor@lemmy.cato politics @lemmy.world•‘Nazi Karens’ Go Full Cancel Culture on Charlie Kirk Critics319·8 days agoNo it’s not but I recall people making similar lists for other causes, most recently ICE agents, or DODGE staffers, etc. This isn’t new, and it is the new political reality. We can’t be like them saying “hey not for us” when we employ the same tactics they do.

It’s been long known around the world about these scam centers. Only the Guardian and its reporters may have been the ignorant ones. There are also massive centers in Cambodia.

RandAlThor@lemmy.cato Technology@lemmy.world•AI adoption rate is declining among large companies — US Census Bureau claims fewer businesses are using AI toolsEnglish5·12 days agoLarge companies (defined as having more than 250 employees) have reduced their AI usage, according to the data (click to expand the Tweet below). The slowdown started in June, when it was at roughly 13.5%, slipping to about 12% at the end of August.
Someone explain to me how I am to see this “rate” as - is it adoption rate or usage rate? IF it is adoption rate 13.5% of all large firms are using it? and it’s declined to 12%? Or is it some sort of usage rate and if so, whatever the fuck is 12% usage?
