IDK they’ve been pretty on top of this. I remember earlier this year there was a story about them honking all night at there depot and they released a patch to fix it in a couple days. They are trying to get approval to drive to the airport so they’re very sensitive to public opinion and the politicians in charge of approving that.
It can work if there’s a safer legal alternative. Like theres a black market for moonshine but it’s miniscule compared to the whole alcohol market because most people would rather go to a normal store and buy vodka instead cause they know what they’re getting. Same with tobacco, they aren’t banning all nicotine products, just smoking, so if the options are to smoke this probably contaminated tobacco you get off the black market or vape / chew nicotine products that have some quality assurance most people will choose the latter.
force median or above wage pay
This is already a thing . Raising that wage wouldn’t be bad though.
No one was buying his trump gold card for $1 million to get a visa so he had to up the fee on other visas to make it make sense.
Man the ai hate is so strong on lemmy they can’t even admit when it’s good at something. Though I’m guessing a lot of these people’s experience with getting recipes from it is memes of bad hallucinations and not actually trying it looking at all the “glue on pizza” takes.
I’ll back you up though, have gotten a lot of good recipes from chatgpt, even for baking which doesn’t have a lot of room for error.
If only we had some sort of deal with Iran to monitor there nuclear program and make sure they can’t make a nuke in exchange for sanctions relief or something…
I learned about it because Richard stallman gave a speech at my campus (pre-controversy) and half his speech was the gnu copy pasta unironically. Which I get, if i made core software that most of the world’s server runs on, I wouldn’t shut up about it either.
Nah, we already got el salvador for that. They’re gonna need to open up to all the Palestinians “voluntarily leaving” gaza after netanyahu and co make it uninhabitable.
To all the people in here saying “I could warn them and help them prepare to take on the conquistadores” while the sentiment is good, the conquistadores weren’t the ones that wiped them out, it was smallpox and other diseases. So unless you can synthesize a vaccine, or just expose them to it then so they can recover population in a couple centuries, they’re doomed no matter what.
A heads up is not gonna save them from their real killers, smallpox, unless you brought it with you and give them a couple centuries to recover population and gain immunity.
This wispy-bearded Texan is in the vanguard of a movement urging conservatives to relocate to Russia. Last August, Putin introduced fast-track shared values visa for those fleeing Western liberalism.
Oh no … don’t do that. Us lefties would hate if all our manly men left us to deal with these Haitians eating our dogs alone. That would trigger and own us so much.
How is this argument different than the “video games cause violence” argument?
It keeps you on there site. Same reason Twitter banned links and has grok now, the longer you stay on the site the more likely you are to look at or even click on an ad on that site. If you google something, then quickly scroll past the first couple ad links and click on the first non ad link you are maybe only staying on Google for 1 or 2 seconds. If you get an “ai overview” at the top and start reading through that then you’re maybe spending 10-30 seconds reading through that. That’s another 10 seconds that the ad was displayed that Google can go to there ad customers and say people were looking at it longer.
Another reason more motivated by user experience is also that the AI has a better “understanding” of meaning compared to typical search algorithms. Say you search “Starbucks price at closing” when you meant “Starbucks stock price at time of market closing” an AI would be more able to discern that meaning as opposed to a traditional algorithm which may show you the closing time of the nearest Starbucks, or the price of one of there drinks etc.
That may be true for small or mid size startups that are reliant on VC money, but we’re talking about Google and Microsoft here, they already have there money printers going and don’t need VC money.
The part about the women having surgery and the guy getting laid off is pretty bad but the concept of downsizing doesn’t seem dystopian to me. If anything its a good thing to move to a more dense living situation with shared amenities like parks and pools then living out in suburbia with a big house with a bunch of rooms and amenities that need to be maintained by you while they are rarely used.
Plenty of people live very happy lives in smaller situations. Studies have shown that satisfaction with your living situation is more closely related to your house size relative to your neighbors then the absolute house size. Ie if you have 1000 sqft but that’s above average for the neighborhood then you’ll be more satisfied then the person with a 2000 sqft house in a neighborhood of 3000 sqft houses.
Nah that’s New Orleans, and you would’ve known that if you studied your Lil Wayne.
So do you have to basically ai spam applications if you want a job now? Cause it seems like companies are using ai to filter out 99% of applications so there’s no use into putting manual effort to adjust resumes and write cover letters if a human isn’t going to read it.
Yeah, I’m staunchly for legalization of all “vices” but I’m not going to pretend that they’re harmless and aren’t valid reasons to want to get rid of them besides being a kill joy.
There were some in the first gulf war. People forget but iraq had the sixth largest airforce at the time and were able to shoot down a couple American planes before being overwhelmed and fleeing to Iran.
Before anyone starts to think there’s a good guy in this story:
He says he’s going to use the money to support local vets, but why don’t you just share some links to spca to donate directly, you’re providing nothing but a way for you to grift by taking the money through meme coins.
