I mean you grew up believing that it’s healthier to eat meat rather than just more profitable to sell it

Seriously I’ve read this about 10 times and I still have no idea what you’re going on about. It’s healthier to eat meat than sell it, what?

it is morally defensible in any way to create an intelligent creature

What absolute grammar hellhole is this? What animal are you thinking of?

I’ve worked there for years now and I’m still unclear on the hierarchy. I think they’re both the same level of authority but I honestly could be wrong, the organisation is an absolute mess.

You can tell when you work for a big multinational because it’s never clear who’s in charge. If you know what’s going on you’re not working for an important enough organisation.

So to be clear I “report” to the manager that I actually like. What I’m supposed to be doing I have no idea about. Given that I’ve never actually got in trouble for withholding information I assume that the other guy isn’t my direct line manager. But it really is all up in the air.

Yeah it was a different Mrs Thatcher, and to be clear that might not have been her actual name, I’m just coming up with something that sounds appropriately similar. I’ve subsequently seen pictures of her in the class yearbook. She was really really hot, when she was my teacher she was younger than I am now so I absolutely did not appreciate her attractiveness.

Oh no she was wonderful, we got to hear all the hot gossip from her. None of the teachers liked Mrs Hall, she was the antichrist apparently. Even as a kid I could tell she hated children. God knows why she became a teacher.

Meanwhile Mrs Thatcher had a rabbit, a classroom pet. Oh it was wonderful, I’m not sure I necessarily learnt all that much from her, but I really liked her.

It’s the only way to get a pay rise. You have to work with the idiots or they don’t give you any money.

The problem is the people in charge are not the people that should be in charge. I suppose it’s my fault for not getting an MBA.

Grow up on a farm and you really have no delusions about how the world works. Although I did think teachers lived at the school so I was unclear with how Mrs Thatcher got pregnant.

This guy is into some really weird stuff, and not the normal henti that everyone else is asking for.

I don’t think openAI is as well-known a Google.

Oh good. AI is collapsing and it’s taking Oracle with it.

Good for them. Know one likes been ionized

One of my managers is like that, I’ve known him for about 5 years and he’s been the biggest idiot I’ve ever met the entire time. But ever since AI came out he’s turned it up to 11.

Fortunately my other manager can’t stand him, and they have blazing arguments, so generally speaking if he tells me to do something I don’t like / want to do, I go and tattle tell.

Quite frankly it’s disgusting. That’s why I only eat food that has lots of healthy e numbers, MSG, and added sugar. As God intended.

I feel like the daily mail is worse. People know the star is full of shit, so don’t take it seriously. Whereas some people seem to have a perception of the daily mail that it’s somewhat reputable newspaper.

So maybe the world needs less cocaine, not more.

Woh there with your hot take

Yeah but it’s also the daily mail who are reporting this so default assumptions.

It might be possible to get into output wirelessly, it has a dedicated radio for video output so presumably if you just stuck an adaptor into your TV you could just cast to it. Could be quite a nice setup if you wanted it to be able to connect to both your computer in the study and your TV in the living room.

Oh yeah, and and they would mostly be terrible, except one brand no one has ever heard of but, it’s apparently a big name in China, and called something like Zloks would inexplicably be the king of that particular niche product.

I hate the Wi-Fi remote thing. My TV has a Wi-Fi remote and it runs off of AA battery and they last about 4 days and then run out. If I hadn’t replaced them with rechargeable ones they would have probably had to open a new landfill site just for my old batteries.

As much as I agree I think it would have been a bad move for them to do that. The device is success is already highly dependant on its price, which is still in flux as far as I understand, there is no reason for them to make the decision even more difficult.

It’s got DP as well though so it’s not all that bad. We really should be pushing manufacturers over to DP anyway.

It’s literally the same feature set.
