And one can’t control what their employer forces them to use. 40 hours per week I am forced to be all in regarding Microslop products.

I’m not anti-AI, but anti whatever fresh hell they are unloading unto the masses. This is something that requires careful planning to ensure we don’t devastate resources or stall critical think skills and knowledge.

Yeah, I’d like to know why people still pay for it as well. As soon as they brought back ads for paid tiers, I went back into the boat and never looked back. Shame it’s only gotten worse.

Oh waaa 🎻

The nerve of these companies and CEOs complaining… They were warned about this a long time ago.

From the article:

Passport revocations for unpaid child support of more than $2,500 is allowed under a rarely-enforced 1996 federal law.

Previously, the consequence was only doled out when people with such debt sought to renew their passports.

So, not new, just being more strongly enforced.

Edit: more context

I ran windows on my new build (it was cheaper to get someone else to build it than to buy the same exact parts myself 😩) just to make sure everything works and my god, I could barely get past the setup before getting annoyed. Linux is just waaaay easier to deal with, even with having to troubleshoot driver installs. Windows is set up now to where you can’t really do anything to your own computer.

Yep, these people definitely have some sort of disease. No one needs nor would be able to spend that kind of money. Just completely insane.

Sometimes I wish the Epstein class would just mass bomb all us poors already and get it over with. This slow, painful death thing is extremely annoying and stressful.

Great points, and as a citizen of the US, I often forget that many don’t have access to the healthcare me and my peers do, nor is everyone lucky to have the amazing doctors I’ve had. I too have been feeling very scared and often sad; I try to stay logical and seek positive solutions I can apply, BUT IT IS HARD. The general feeling of malaise has thickened the air. I also have more knowledge in some scientific fields than the average person, and logic has always been my comfort and bedrock, so seeking doctors’ advice gives me solace. Focusing on local communities can cause one to forget how a larger population can be affected or how they may respond.

Seems to me that since our “dear leader” is unapologetically trashy, it gives the general population permission to forgo respect or civility. It’s frustrating and can make those of us who try to maintain decorum feel like we are going insane.

So… these people aren’t even listening to their doctors? I get being confused as a laymen when reading a bunch of articles online when half of everything is AI now, but your actual doctor? Isn’t that what they’re there for?

His win is still a win for the people. I won’t support his music, but I’ll take the win against the cops.

I wonder what the breaking point is for those who don’t use adblockers.

Apparently my job will be getting rid of our personal local network drives (we each have our own only we can connect to) and moving that to Microsoft one drive. Our IT guy hates the new changes, but the orders come from way above. Not sure how well it will work…

Looks like the ways they’re doing this is via credit card or account age. I wanted to keep my current phone until it died before switching to something else but fuck me, who knows what nonsense they’ll make us do in the near future.

I don’t know, I’ve always thought the point was to teach children how to act and socialize in public. It’s bad enough seeing adults on their phones when hanging out in public with friends instead of just speaking with one another.

I was able to update 2 of 3 devices early last year, but couldn’t upgrade my old custom build. I did that due to possible tariffs; didn’t even think about this “AI” BS. Thought may as well just buy a custom build now. Wanted to wait another year, but I won’t be upset no matter what happens with prices if I get it now. I’m not sure my old girl can outlive the return of easily available PC parts. At least I also bought some extra storage over a year ago.

I heard someone report Thiel talking about something similar to this, but I could have misunderstood. Either way, listening to him speak; he definitely is cuckoo bananas.

And many of those jobs still require an understanding of higher math/physics. An uneducated electrician is a dead one.

I seriously keep reading LLM as MLM

It’s why I can never watch the Cosby show again.
