I remember when sublime’s 40oz to freedom was about alcoholism and buying a malt liquor drink, but turns out, there’s a possible different interpretation
The chatbot is in a constant DMT trip and we’re machine elves asking esoteric questions and then it vomits an answer
Turns out Nickelback went to hell and they have to continuously perform for eternity to operate hell’s hold music, so, you can listen to something while you wait. If you hit 2 you get Jessica Black’s Friday on repeat but you can’t go back, so choose carefully
We are experiencing higher than normal call volumes and hold times. Your call is important to us and will be answered in the order in which it was received
Though it’s a good thing they added heat vision to his abilities throughout his character arc, much more efficient to melt ICE that way
except for the very wealthy
Now that was the point all along
I’ve learned that people almost exclusively fall into holes of being good at heart or bad at heart. At this point in my life, I tend to pick up on how they think about others pretty quickly.
I’ve found that people good at heart are generally capable of opening up kindness once they gain empathy for someone, e.g. realize what someone is going through, even when they were previously convinced otherwise. Sometimes they’re quick to anger, but they seem to get that we’re all people so they just want to be sure they’re mad at the right people.
I’ve found that people bad at heart consider every interaction in their life to be a transaction, or a zero sum game. Unfortunately they’re easily convinced that the person next to them in line, or the generation they don’t understand, or the invisible immigrants or whatever are the cause of all their problems with money, healthcare, taxes;
While ironically they’re reading that on Facebook, and corporations don’t want them to look at the history of their wages vs profits or whatever. There’s a big difference between someone who wouldn’t vote for Kamala because they thought she wouldn’t serve their interests, and someone wearing a “say no to the ho” t-shirt while actively supporting a rapist pedophile.
I think first “term” and “Oval Office” will be renamed, but yes
My guess is at least 80% of average internet users don’t care about privacy
that's the next vampire CEO's problem. I get a golden parachute (and don't even joke about trying to give me a silver parachute)
you're absolutely right, I just figured enough people had seen it I would just embed the gif
Without doing the research, I’m guessing the same could be said about Web 2.0 and top comp sci grads being scooped up left and right to build empty promises as well. History is cyclical. Just as some companies survived that bubble and how said companies can profit was learned at that point, the same will likely happen with current AI models and corporations.
They’ll fall short of all the promises being made, except: that they help software companies code faster, are excellent data collection tools acting as chatbots to laypeople, and can generate small bits of media on the fly (at a pretty insane power requirement to train and use) so they’ll be used to generate art and sounds and the like.
Every other magical promise is the same from Web 2.0. People are being laid off in droves as productivity and profits soar, the global population has more access to information than ever before, but most of us are becoming dumber because of the social media algorithms designed to keep them addicted. We can see impending social and ecological doom in fascism and climate change, but the “quarterly growth” of capitalism is all that seems to matter.
The only reason we even ever made it to the moon is because we had two countries with nukes pointed at each other and we got real lucky.
And still people would say “America made it to the moon” instead of “Humanity made it to the moon”
We are children in a vast enveloping cosmic dark.
