Some investment things like betterment will buy Tesla as part of their automation, and the end user might not even know.

I’ve read that a lot of users, including youth, don’t really understand file systems because modern computers don’t make you.

Personally I think just letting people live in ignorance is a mistake. Some people can’t be helped but I think many could, if presented with learning opportunities, if the default wasn’t bad.

Without defining any of what that means, of course.

I think this is one of the core problems of humanity. People are driven mostly by feelings. I guess that works mostly okay on smaller scales or simpler worlds. Feeling like this field is better for grazing than that one is probably pretty harmless, and if your little 2000bce tribe dies out it’s not a global problem. But now we have very complex systems that affect millions of people, and idiots are still going “Well i just feel like shaking things up would be good”

This should surprise no one.

Anyone who thought “doge” was a good or even acceptable idea should not be allowed to participate in politics. Or play with small objects that may be a choking hazard.

When a certain saint allegedly shot a CEO dead on the street, there was a big surge in support. Sadly, no one else has followed suit.

A lot of people are sick of the ownership class ruining everything, and would cheer for spilled blood.

If someone shot the ceo of uber dead, people would celebrate. They’re all scum.

A reasonable guess, but i think I (re-)read all of Pratchett as an adult and didn’t come across it

Any ethical super intelligence would immediately remove billionaires from power. I’d like to see that.

Tesla is lucky no one took matters into their own hands. Sleep deprivation makes people crazy. Keeping people up all hours with dubiously legal construction noises and lights? If I was on the jury for someone who burned the place down, I’d nullify.

I read a fiction in high school about like the afterlife, and it mentioned the best English playwright wasn’t Shakespeare. It was some nobody who only showed his writing to his neighbor, but the neighbor was an asshole and told him it was trash. Don’t remember anything else about it but that stuck with me.

Sometimes they wear a hat or armband for easy recognition.

Well, the lunch is being eaten either way. Personally I feel like “AI” stuff is not great for anybody except the people selling it (and even they are often losing money)

A couple CEOs have made statements about how they’re not hiring anyone in favor of “AI”. Somehow Saint Luigi hasn’t visited any of them, but I think a couple had to reverse course after the “AI” was bad.

Labor should unite. We don’t need infinite growth and profits. Dignity and a sustainable environment are more important

In a similar boat. 3 years ago I got like 3 offers after like two months of interviewing, plus a bunch of other interviews I bombed. Now I’m not even getting phone screens, despite having more experience.

AI is eating everyone’s lunch on top of everything else

Usually people talk about the pre tax cost.

I have a tinfoil hat theory that the taxes are kept like that to give people a recurring, low grade, anti-tax sentiment. There are a lot of crazy idiots that don’t want government to exist here, so by making people feel bad about paying taxes (instead of obscuring that by baking it into the listed price) they can win sympathy.

I don’t want to share my location nor have anyone else’s shared with me.

Friends and partners can text “I’ll be there in 5”

My friend shares her location with her mother. Her mother then nags her with like “Are you seeing someone new? You’re spending a lot of time in north brooklyn now.” Like, who needs that, or even the temptation of that?

A tech solution is not going to fix a social/mental problem like fear of cheating.

The cops always park in the bike and pedestrian lanes in prospect park, and it makes me so mad.

Personally I feel like if you park in the bike lane for any reason that’s not life or death, people should be allowed to do what they want to your car. Maybe move it. Maybe key it. I don’t care. It’s a hazard for everyone.

If I was going to make something like this, it would have to incorporate trust chains. I don’t care if some maga-hat says this lady is horrible. I care if my good friend Alex says she’s horrible. One person’s “this person won’t shut up about communism” is a big red flag (no pun intended) but for someone else that’s the dream.

When you sign up, you’d need to be referred to someone or be a root node. Anyone connected to you can be weighted differently. If some section of the tree is misbehaving, prune it.

But that’s a lot of work

I’ve lived here for almost two decades and I’ve almost never had a problem with bikes.

I did once see a driver make a right turn and hit a delivery bike kid, drag him for a few feet, and then speed off. Luckily, teenagers I guess are indestructible and the kid got up and rode away after a few minutes.

If you want better bike and pedestrian safety, the solution is probably build better bike lanes. There are a lot of spots with nothing, or a painted suggestion. There’s a spot near prospect park where they expect the bicyclist to turn right, pass through a lane of traffic, and then just hang out in the center lane with all the cars. It’s a nightmare.

Conservatism is entirely about protecting the in group and hurting the out group. That’s it. That’s the whole thing.

Thus, they are bad people. That’s how bad people behave.

Google probably wants to keep you on google.com, where they have ads. By doing the AI stuff, you never click through to someone else’s page. They get 100% of the interactions and can sell all the clicks.

It’s monopoly stuff. They should be stopped, with whatever box of liberty is needed.

When I worked an old job in the office, the game of telephone from the CEO down was so bad. People would get in their head that some things were MUST HAVE, but if I sneakily just asked the CEO directly he’d be like “no that’s not important”. But the designer thought he wanted it so she told the product lead it was important so our team product guy was told this was “straight from the top”.
