I used a hybrid of near-shore telepresence and on-site scrum sessions to move fast and put the quantum metaverse on a content-addressable de-fi AI blockchain

The upvote/downvote counter matches right now!

FYI, it’s usually “how it feels” or “what it feels like”, not “how it feels like”

“Workers” is (intentionally) obtuse.

They were paramilitary — private militant groups elevated to public status based on their allegiance, and plugged into the existing military apparatuses.

So like J6ers on the low end, or Blackwater on the high end.

Speaking of Blackwater, what is “Echo Papa” up to these days?

Prince had struck up a working relationship with El Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele, which not everyone at the meeting knew. … Prince eventually excused himself from the group, telling those gathered that he planned to pitch the detention idea directly to Bukele.

…

Not only would El Salvador accept and jail potentially hundreds of thousands of violent undocumented immigrants currently in the US, it would also take in “dangerous American criminals in custody in our country, including those of US citizenship and legal residents.”

Jesus Christ.

Lots of spelling/grammar errors in that article

They convinced a good chunk of the country that it’s a good thing.

Whoa there, I’m not promoting ape culture, I’m just curious if it exists here. I find it fascinating, and I’d like to see how it’s different on Lemmy.

Probably the right move.

The point is not “you should agree with him”.

The point is “you shouldn’t deport people you disagree with”.

MAGA would much rather argue about the former if you let them sidestep the latter.

Are there any apes on Lemmy?

The poultry plants have been relocated outside the ^regulatory environment.

Turns out, having obscene levels of wealth and power is really bad for your psyche.

We talk a lot about taxing billionaires for the good of the 99%, but it would do wonders for the well-being of the 1% as well.

But then you’ll need dog water to deal with the cat water

It’s a multi-faceted problem.

Opaqueness and lack of interop are one thing. (Although, I’d say the Lemmy/Reddit comparison is a bit off-base, since those center around user-to-user communication, so prohibition of interop is a bigger deal there.) Data dignity or copyright protection is another thing.

And also there’s the fact that anything can (and will) be called AI these days.

For me, the biggest problem with generative AI is that its most powerful use case is what I’d call “signal-jamming”.

That is: Creating an impression that there is a meaningful message being conveyed in a piece of content, when there actually is none.

It’s kinda what it does by default. So the fact that it produces meaningless content so easily, and even accidentally, creates a big problem.

In the labor market, I think the problem is less that automated processes replace your job outright and more that if every interaction is mediated by AI, it dilutes your power to exert control over how business is conducted.

As a consumer, having AI as the first line of defense in consumer support dilutes how much you can hold a seller responsible for their services.

In the political world, astro-turfing has never been easier.

I’m not sure how much fighting back with your own AI actually helps here.

If we end up just having AIs talk to other AIs as the default for all communication, we’ve pretty much forsaken the key evolutionary feature of our species.

It’s kind of like solving nuclear proliferation by perpetually launching nukes from every country to every country at all times forever.

History sure rhymes, doesn’t it

Should be using Australium

Need bag water to counteract the mouse water

Aaaand he went back on it already.

It’s tough, cuz usually I sell people on the game by focusing on the fun mechanics of it, so it’s easy to go straight from mechanics to setup to first round, and have that awkward moment of “Wait, how do you win?”

Dumbass could’ve been remembered as “IRL Ironman” forever if he just shut up and enjoyed his wealth.

I think becoming a billionaire causes brain damage. Like, for real, literally brain damage.
