Do you have insight on farming issues to provide an example? Whenever we near election dates in the US we know farm lobbies always push for bailouts that usually end up benefiting corporations instead of farmers. I’m sure there are issues that exist but it’s hard to sort through what’s legit and what’s a money grab. I thought MPU was doing a good job but 🤷🏻♀️
The American special: Pay a salary that’s not based on hours worked, then quantify work product by projects completed on time but not the amount of time needed to reach completion. Rinse and repeat. This is how you end up working 50 hours/week + weekends without extra pay above your normal salary.
Save your breath. Middle class America is happy to queue up for authoritarian rule as long as it saves them 10 minutes shopping online. Half my neighbors have Alexa in their homes and a ring camera on their door to report on themselves. My own family thinks I’m a conspiracy theorist because I won’t connect my appliances to the internet.
We can and should support the women of Iran by repeatedly bombing them and their families, destroying the cities they live in along with schools and hospitals, and possibly by obliterating the jail cell she’s being held in. I should probably add, this is sarcasm, because it also seems to be official US policy regarding the middle east in general.
Is Putin right to say he has an agreement with the US to provide diesel fuel when there is a well-known fuel shortage in Russia?
Is Putin right to say he’s ready for a peace agreement as soon as Ukraine announces a cease fire and returns all disputed territory? While completely ignoring the Ukranian civilian death toll, the deliberate bombing of schools and hospitals, and the mass kidnapping of Ukranian children?
Is Netanyahu right to say there is a cease fire with Palestinians even as Israel continues to shoot civilians, bomb hospitals and schools, and seize occupied territory?
Is Trump right to say the murder of Iranian civilians and bombing infrastructure, schools & hospitals was justified due to the lack of a nuclear agreement when HE alone is the moron who cancelled the existing agreement that worked for a lot less money than his war is costing simply because he doesn’t like that the agreement was brokered by President Obama who also received a Nobel Peace prize as a result?
Is Trump right to say Venezuelans welcomed US interference even as protests persist and the country’s economy is in free-fall and elections have been postponed?
Is mainstream media right to largely ignore all of the above and politely look away any time the Epstein files are mentioned, any witnesses release statements, or when other countries have no problem investigating & incarcerating the billionaires involved (Unless he happens to be Prince Andrew)? And somehow forget Trump’s name appears in Epstein’s seized files more times than that of Jesus’ name in the entire bible?
So many big questions to ask, but yeah, let’s endlessly debate how many troll farms Zelensky bombed in Russia.
But you can whittle down your labor costs to a single untrained guy monitoring by notifications in the closet they converted to the IT room.
There is no something else. It makes sense a programmer will play with their electronic objects differently than someone outside the industry. It remains a toy to be played with. Subscribing mental health or personality implications is just plain wrong. I could just as easily suggest your insistence is an indication you have a personality disorder or inclination towards inhumanity for attempting to humanize objects. You’re attempting to suggest those who engage in play in this realm are criminal or psychologically affected. More realistically, I’m debating with AI or a troll paid by people building data centers, but I do think it’s important for the average person who may read this to know that it’s impossible to torture a non-living object, even when it’s coded to respond in complete sentences like a person. And we may have discovered a method to piss off billionaires and waste more of their AI money. In that case, I heartily recommend all to play as they wish with LLMs and open AI. Have nonsensical fun with it because nothing of value is being lost!!
You just know his assistant reminds him what their names are all the time.
Unfortunately reading comprehension is on the decline. That makes it easier to redefine words like ‘torture’ on social posts, then using them wrong so often it becomes accepted usage. Now if we add LLMs as something that can be tortured, it raises the value of AI but diminishes the value of human suffering. It’s absolutely a deliberate attempt to control the conversation and devalue human life in the quest for AI dominance. In a short time we will be considered equals with AI. Later they will determine AI is more valuable than any single life. Then it will be any group of lives, and so on. In a few generations it will no longer be controversial to serve AI.
It’s not torture. Using that term plays into the billionaire narrative.
Convenient timing since proof of the deal won’t arrive before the midterms. Russia is experiencing severe gas shortages and Putin has nothing to give except maybe reminders about who owns copies of the Epstein tapes.
After reading the comments (and the comments of similar posts) I can only assume people are being paid to claim torturing LLMs demonstrates a mental issue or homicidal tendency. Nothing could be further from the truth. An LLM is a thing that’s programmed by humans to scrape the internet and present information in complete sentences. Torture is an incorrect word— it’s more accurate to say people are playing with an electronic toy or game by testing its limits and attempting to scramble the logic of an algorithm. In no way is that behavior an indication of a personality type or mental defect. The toy contains no shred of humanity or self-awareness. It is not a creature that can feel pain or confusion. There is no living thing to feel suffering. If curiosity leads someone to use a toy in a manner outside of the recommendations of its instruction manual, that is certainly not a violation against humanity— that is simply an example of creative play. Don’t let billionaires set the narrative that something wrong or disturbing is happening. They will foment confusion to create yet another culture war to divide people.
The president protects pedophiles because he is a pedophile himself
Let me see if I have my pedo-billionaire glasses tinted correctly:
School shootings are caused by violent video games, teenage depression, and propping doors open. But promoting Nazi-fascist ideology while posting videos that dehumanize others? All good!
You still need employees to help hapless customers and flag tech problems, the security cameras from above to dissuade theft, and someone to man the monitors of said cameras. They were banking on full human replacement. Can’t wait for our AI future with a store devoid of employees where they drop a net from the ceiling and pepper spray me because I forgot my eggplant was the organic price.
Build a maglev instead. Infinitely more useful
There is a single silver thread in reddit these days— there are multiple subreddits dedicated to posting info about the epstein files. A subject US media has no interest in following.
Reddit is insufferable. It’s impossible to get an interesting convo going and the vast majority of posts are slop. Even the subreddits for hobbyists are affected. I’ll save a sad memory for the glory days but it’s time to move on.
An anonymous poster posts a story in Reddit…
Trump instigated the situation to justify doing this. Period.
It was always going to end this way because Putin ordered it, and he has enough video on Trump and his billionaire pals to get what he wants.
If only Epstein had lived long enough to see what power he still wields in this world— wars, fascism, racism, genocide—can all be laid at his feet because rich people like to rape enslaved women & children and therefore the tapes exist. What a proud moment for Epstein.
