But you’re presenting that from a normal person’s point of view. The oligarchy and politicians see great value in all that crap.

If I was suffering like that, I would want that option. Of course, I’m an adult so…

What I really want to know is, were the people putting out workslop, putting out anything better BEFORE AI. I mean, maybe they are just using a different tool to suck.

I think instead of stating that their performance was going to be measured by the quantitative measure of how much AI they used, instead of the qualitative measure of output, while making AI available to them, the CEO might have seen different results.

It’s almost like malicious compliance. “Hey everyone, do this.” Then they all do JUST that. What would you expect? LOL.

I don’t believe all of it is permanent. Some of it can come back if we bargain in good faith. Politicians in other countries are just as opportunistic as American politicians.

I was referring to whom ELSE does it hurt.

Regarding the other, you may be completely right but that is one culture trying to legislate another. It sounds like your opinion is that banning certain head wear, is helping them. It’s for their own benefit. Is it? Or is it just so that Austrians don’t have to feel uncomfortable around foreigners?

Because wearing these hurts… checks notes… Oh right, no one.

Microsoft Word had been doing this for decades. In fact so does my ducking phone.

So fucking what. Let him leave.

So the Nazis will return to Germany?

All cars built after September 2027 in the US must have surveillance technology on board to detect impaired drivers and restrict the operation of the vehicle if impairment is detected. This includes drowsiness. Which means they can track your eyes. Not a big step at all to not only detect if a phone is in use but to record that data.

A government for the people.

I wouldn’t say that’s completely incomparable. We could also call the operator back then. The location was public. Local area is still a lot of people.

But it shouldn’t even be close for the money we’ve spent. Bush’s little adventure cost $15T.

You know, there used to be this thing called the phone book. Look it up. It’s horrifying in today’s world.

Read the article? Are you nuts?

I don’t understand this at all. I thought it was illegal to have possession of child pornography. In fact isn’t that what CBP, said they were looking for on the guy’s phone when they put in the code and it wiped itself? So it’s legal to generate it, but not possess it? WTF? Did I hear wrong?

I have to say, this whole Iran war thing has really opened my eyes to what is going on. Because we spend nearly $1T a year on our military, my assumption was that there was no military objective we couldn’t meet. Pretty much take on the rest of the world if necessary, since we spend nearly as much as the rest of the world combined.

Then they light off a bunch of stuff in Iran and everyone is like, “welp, we’re out.” Really? That fast? Guess all of that money was getting stolen as well. I should have known.

Ok, I see your point but in a fascist society, what else can you do to stop him? Harsh language? A lawsuit you can’t afford?

I like that idea.

I’m definitely cheering them on because I’m too chicken shit to do it myself.
