Rest in peace, Hvaldimir, you magnificent mammal.

There… There aren’t a lot of things that would change that…

Plus the whole “running from the police” thing tends to have extra consequences.

… But then again, so does stopping for the police.

Like the old fucks would vote for us instead of other old fucks

Let’s have a quick lesson in credibility:

You should take everything you read with varying degrees of skepticism. Some things warrant more skepticism than others. For example, which of these two should you be more skeptical of?

1. An article written by someone paid to write things. Their actual name is on the article, thus so is their reputation. And if they’re worth their salt, they’ll also link to direct sources for data shared in their article.

2. some random dude on a forum who consistently fails to provide sourcing for the numbers, this failing to price they didn’t pull those numbers out of their ass.

Now, I don’t have to accept any of the options at face value, but one is more convincing than the other.

Oh hey that was a nice article you shared to source your information.

If you’re going to give up, feel free to do so quietly. Find yourself a nice little hole and die in peace. Sharing your defeatist attitude just makes it harder for the rest of us who still work to make a difference.

How in the hell do you find a 3 word title misleading? Hackers got access to Roku accounts.

The only thing that makes US crazies different is the easier access to firearms.

This says more about their bosses than it says about ChatGPT.

That’s because they can “see” people working instead of, you know, using any actually objective metric.

I spent most of my 20s in nightclubs. As a patron, bartender, and manager.

There’s no fucking way you’ll ever catch me in one ever again.

They’re just the modern way to monetize the mating ritual, taken to an absolutely ridiculous extreme. It’s pretty fuckin disgusting.

This instantly reminded me of Mystery Men. Fantastic movie.

Make no mistake, I am not confusing the two. In fact, the whole point of my previous post is that the problems come from the latter and not the former.

Social programs and monopoly busting worked quite well in American history, despite what many people may currently think.

We have governments, they should be for the people. They can craft legislation that protects people and ensures their economic livelihood.

Only in Australia

In fairness, this is not a new danger. Koch media affiliates have been doing this for decades.

It’s still absolutely dangerous, just didn’t need AI to be so.

You’re a grown ass person, you can make your own decisions.

Historically speaking, “adapt and move on” is a euphemism for “live in abject poverty if you don’t already have another skillset or income stream.”

For example, look at the Luddites. While the term is now used to refer to people who oppose progress, they were originally a group of craftsmen who opposed the industrialization caused by the invention of the loom. While the tech in itself is objectively good, it was the implementation by the elite class that threatened their livelihoods. They went from making decent livings in their skilled crafts to having the options to either 1) work for pennies in triple shifts at dangerous factories, or 2) fuckin riot.

I’m not arguing on behalf of the Luddites, but context is important. In order for “adapt and move on” to be viable, there needs to be a system in place that values the humans involved.

It’s called b
