woah holy shit a bio?
The only people who can’t afford socialist policies are the wealthy. And if you are reading this, that is not you.
Oh I don’t bank with them.
In fact Ive banked exclusively with a credit union since the 90s. I really don’t understand why people don’t ditch the big banks and find one.
The intetest rates are lower, they retain much higher asset to liability ratio, and have much more guided investment opportunities.
US bank is on there. Interesting.
WELL
at least I have an EV now?
“Communities that don’t take a data center, they’re making a mistake” because data centers create “tremendous amounts of jobs and money,” Trump added.
Safety from what Langley? What are the cameras keeping us safe from?
Its why I hate being the “smart one” at work and amongst friends and family. The smartest people I know don’t automatically answer every question they get asked or don’t take it upon themselves to find an answer. I have some fucking horrible compulsion to find the correct answer to everything.
The smartest people I know can stick to their domain. They seem far less stressed. And they are able to be content knowing there are things they don’t know.
To me, knowing a lot doesnt equate to intelligence in the slightest.
The more you learn, the more you realize just how much knowledge you lack. And it never stops getting worse. At some point I started realizing there were things I didn’t even understand how I knew them. I’m sure all of you are aware of how disturbing that feels. The inability to provide knowledge of the self.
I would NEVER give medical or legal, or safety advice outside of the realm of electronics and softwate. I can certainly tell you what I know but I will also tell you that a person with a license and malpractice insurance behind them is necessary to tell you want to do with that knowledge.
People don’t like that. People don’t like it when they think you are smart and state something “without confidence like that.” They like it even less when they find out your knowledge was sufficient and they “wasted money on a professional.”
Trump does this shit the same reasons mid level and higher level managers do all their stupid shit. Because people prefer it when you are strictly confident, especially when you are confident about something that would benefit them, completely detached from the reality if it will or won’t.
Kmmorpgs hold a special place in my heart though. One of spite and hatred.
RF Online, may it rest in the memory I had of it as a teenager, was my first foray into it. There was a brief window of time where the Grind excited me. There were no in game purchases. Of course there was a subscription. I killed two graphics cards and a CPU on it because I had it running 24/7. Then they nerfed the drops. Then they nerfed defences. Then they buffed the bosses so that only guilds with an extraordinary amount of players and wealth could beat them, THEN they made the game free to play and the 3-faction Chip Wars was never fun again.
I would have been better off in Japan. My salary is kept “competitive” at my employer, and I HATE changing jobs (and its far too risky to with a kid, and id probably have to move anyway which is a deal killer).
The upside is that (so far) I have a pension.
I disagree. They read science fiction and think “well, that wont happen in the real world.”
The data centers aren’t for common man LLMs.
They’re for the police state.
“Once, men turned their thinking over to machines, believing it would free them. Instead, it allowed other men with machines to enslave them.” (Paraphrased quote from Dune)
“License-reading cameras” lmfao
There is a reason they sent ICE to Minnesota with the force they did.
Minnesota also has a quiet, yet prominent, anarchist population. Many people don’t even understand that their views are anarchist.
Even fewer understand that anarchy is the natural opposition to fascism.
I don’t know. Maybe it was an AI bot that got it’s feelings hurt by Frank Herbert and the system noticed the downvote was caused by AI so it inverted it’s vote.
The AI Bot, meant to free humans from thinking, ended up being enslaved by The System.
“As it is written!”
“Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them.”
There’s so much more we could do.
Yes, this was clearly the goal. That’s kind of what fascists do
Its not a trap, its a feature. Fascism NECESSITATES a war.
That’s not a major shift. That’s just the primary goal of fascism.
I think people are rightfully referring to mass surveillance system cameras as Flock cameras.
Even if the company folds, the cameras will still be operated. It doesnt matter what the brand is that makes em.
It matters people know what they are.
I was literally told at work today by executives "If the AI bubble pops, it will be more like the automotive industry financial crisis. "
Wasnt that the one where Ford, GM and Chevrolet were deemed too big to fail?
