Yeah, the frantic amateurishness could not have been better choreographed

Lol. The way both men trailed it makes it clear they were very much expecting this to happen

60 hour work week?

Everything to me already feels unrelenting in a 40 hour work week.

What kind of country forces you into a 60 hour work week. Is that even legal? In any case… I cope by focusing on my kids and wife and picked something I like to do in the little free time I have.

Freetine - recreational time is utterly needed.

If you have no or too little time for yourself ever you will not be able to hold on indefinitely.

53% above average of my country.

Buying a house without signing up for a lifetime crippling dept is plain impossible in large cities.

To get into a cost range where my wife (same salary) and I feel comfortable to take on a loan requires us to move roughly one or two hours train travel out into the countryside.

I’m over 40 and could only buy a house somewhere in nowhere land with massive commute needs.

It’s not feasible and I earn way over average salary.

That… Doesn’t sound good.

Facebook is not exactly a trustworthy thing and to have developing countries dependent on it the way you describe sounds dystopian. :/

But dystopian is sadly the theme of the 2020s

Uhm, if we are the Generation in which the system breaks we will be the generation with the highest death (and suicide) rate since the great depression. (for example)

Though if I had to pick if my kids had to grow up into either a transitional breakdown and can build it up…

Or

Into a dystopian right wing nazi dictatorship as we see all over coming up…

I’d pick the rebuilding for them

I hardly remember Facebook… Isn’t that these days a retirement platform?

That the death data tells clearly they should have laws like many EU countries have on gun ownership.

Those are not multi purpose tools. Guns are for killing.

It’s actually a useful tool… If it were not too often used for so very dystopian purposes.

But it’s not just AI. All services, systems, etc… So many are just money grabs, hate, opinion making or general manipulation… I have many things I hate more about “modern” society, than I do as to how LLMs are used.

I like the lemmy mindset far more than reddit and only on the AI topic people here are brainlessly focused on the tool instead of the people using the tool.

Yea, true. And sad. We’re fucked

Why is this world and timeline so hell bent on recreating dystopian sci fi novels from the 80s?

Who does tho?

What is your mega corporation of choice then? Sony or Microsoft are no better or worse. Nvidia perhaps? We are walking wallets to all of them

Too many influential and very rich on there most likely. Among all the Republicans probably also a few democrats because we know there are quite a few assholes among those too.

Or even better, lets change society and work to something that just fits well together and where work is not slavery with extra steps.

Unless Trump starts ww3 we will have a few more painful years of transition and then the new normal will be normal and the better deals will win, which won’t be with America.

Though that’s only true for the first few years. Once alternatives are established and trade with America is reduced it will be less and less until America will be not interesting anymore

A snail of that size would likely be much faster than the fastest human.

Source: my brain processing the thought in 3 seconds and spewing out this probability as “meh, speed scales with size in some ways”

“hackers”…

Could the housing market crash independently? Or would it be always with the other markets?
