Sidenote, nearly forgot the obligatory "fuck you Lassannn!"I hope you are doing well in these uncertain times, for all it's worth.
Sadly, the weird fetishization of military service found in many countries, doesn't help too. I this is particularly evident in the US, while you have the jaded veterans who know how bad it is, but fought elsewhere, the majority of the population relies on secondhand stories. In Europe, it became a wound of sorts, because our homes were the battlefields, so we kinda frown upon that.We need to stop this stupid militaristic culture. We already have enough weapons to kill each other 100x over.
I'm suggesting a trend, supported by statements from OpenAI, and an some panic around big NASDAQ-listed companies that dove deep into AI.I guess I misunderstood, english is not my native language and I must have either misinterpreted or not made myself clear enough.I was trying to argue that the trend is less revenue, as companies start cutting costs on tech that isn't being used and can't even work as good advertisement for their product due to mixed public perception.
In a way, it does. It makes the cost of war universal instead of abstract. It's no longer just a matter of uninformed opinion whether or not you're in favor or against X war. If you get drafted, doesn't matter who you voted for. It's basically a hard-reset to anti-war US.
The silliest part of that comment is how all of that looksmaxxing shit is old news. I mean, that has been on my radar since I've stumbled on the redpill rabbit hole. At the time it seemed less dangerous to others, more self-destructive and a lot more niche.Point is, that "culture" has been around since before that guy hit puberty. It's not even his generation's.I'll give him credit for one thing though: watch right wingers try to gain his audience in interviews. It's hilarious.
Word is, a lot of Israeli bot accounts shifted the focus to Cuba recently. And I don't mean on imgur, but on social media in general.
Your point is a couple of years too late, considering Sam Altman's whining and how much the alarm bells are ringing for NASDAQ in general. That revenue stream is now a revenue trickle.
In hindsight, it does look like a bit of a waste. We keep using expensive resources to throw other resources at each other when we could be, idk, building LEGO instead.
"Lots of companies buying AI services so they can advertise they have them, despite having no actual use for them, nor extra sales because of them while running the extra costs".There, fixed it for ya. It's been widely reported how most workers don't use AI tools, especially in the tech sector, despite CEOs closing deals with AI companies. How long until they stop paying for a product that doesn't add real value to the workflow, but worsens it and introduces bugs and risk?
Meanwhile, they got to live with unions bringing average wages up, the one-wage household, with land and houses being cheap as dirt. Same for cars and gas. New Deal US was easy mode for working class families compared to today. And still they abused that prosperity and managed to set fire to the world, flood it with plastic, etc.
I'd argue it always made more sense, but sociopathic coal barons were more about astrological accouting and blunt force management than actually running the numbers. Foremen and policemen started dying as a consequence of these assholes not even bothering to sit down and negotiate, sending their goons instead.It's surprising they bothered with getting canaries at all.
Ooooh yeah, that's one of the classics! I got a few of those too! There was some guy losing his shit after I tried to have him explain to me how the fuck did the party tolerate a Joe Manchin then dares to blame "the left" for anything? That was kinda fun, ngl.That being said, I wish the average Dem voter would grow the fuck up and stop giving their vote for free.I mean, folks don't stfu about the consequences, but they're the only ones getting a vote in the matter.
I suppose that is a thing, but 1. He is an American pop culture icon, not a "world" thing; 2. Unsurprising that MAGA morons would be throwing a hissy fit by his messaging, the world is as dark as it was back in his day, if not less. The biggest difference is, there is a dangerous unhinged moron at the helm instead of the usual dangerous unhinged corporate-bought smart dude.At least you have a safe way for the worst MAGA sociopaths to out themselves.
I think the US Navy helped them finish building the ships, ehich was a challenge but the US Navy did that overnight while they usually took years to build. Then they just sank them.
Oh no, are you another European meddling into another country's affairs? Nevermind the fact that you and me are probably from two different countries and we are familiar with US politics, because the universe revolves around the US. /sVenting aside (a few beers too many) that is a common point of frustration. I had some weirdo on me for days about Zohran/AOC/Omar and Democratic Socialists inside the Dem party insisting I was attacking them by criticizing the likes of Chuck Schumer lol.
I mean, there's hardly a way to monetize even their LLM considering the likely operating cost. This argument hardly bears repeating, but I'm not seeing people paying for ChatGPT subscriptions like they would pay for cloud storage services like google drive, iCloud or anything like that.Sam Altman can try to convince you to pay for ChatGPT, while the average user switches between Gemini, Claude, etc until OpenAI bleeds dry.
That's the part that gets me in hot water with US liberals everytime. Folks have no idea how unhinged their "moderate" president's baseline sits at. Good that you read it, it's quite the wild ride. It's theoretical, but the mere hypothesis and the fact that even Biden didn't want to change it speaks volumes.It basically writes into law that the US *will* be an unreliable ally if certain conditions are met.Netanyahu can wreck NATO by getting himself arrested, forcing Trump's hand. Oof.
I can give you a story if you wanna. I'm lefty, not particularly landlord-friendly, for context. My great-uncle was getting pretty old needed some help in his home, I found someone to help him out. A nice brazillian lady became his homie, he begrudgingly came to respect her. And then he liked her a lot!Sadly, he passed away. I had no idea how to repay her kindness, so I proposed she live there. To this day, she just covers her bills, and lives there with her family. She is the best.
I'm not sure that is old enough to classify as a nostalgia hit but damn, that hit hard.
Asking the real questions here. Did any witness survive to tell the story?
Yeah, I'm kinda disappointed this still has to be explained so often to Americans and isn't disgusting enough to be more of a well-known fact.Other less-known, but terrible facts: the US was also not a part of the Ottawa and Oslo treaties, banning mines and cluster munitions, respectively. Cluster munitions were a particular issue due to Israeli use, IIRC, and mines... Well, we just need to take a look at the Cold War proxy wars in Africa, and the ongoing problem.
You've hit the nail right in the head. US liberals are *very* aggro and have a terribly bad radar. I think it's partially by design by the Dem party's center constantly leaning more toward the right, but even mild criticism from a non-US leftist perspective is immediately perceived as pro-GOP somehow.Me in the EU, worried about Dem congresspeople's inaction regarding Trump's Greenland threats tag me as a GOP voter for many liberals. And god help anyone who criticizes Kamala Harris' campaign.
Ah yes, lets be literal and pretend we don't understand how cops, prosecutors and judges have an interest in seeing as many people behind bars as they can work. It's not like it's tied to their career or anything like that.
Cool, there's a lot of gold that needs diggin'. Where do I sign up to dig myself some of that millionaire gold? Preferably legally, but I'm very open-minded. I don't have her looks, after all!
Cool. But the people doing the killing rarely had the option to sign up for it, or to build a career out of it. Ok, some guy signed up to be a jackboot to the American empire and perform "naval exercises" on X sea for money or career advancement. Cool. They're not the ones calling the shots.They're the ones keeping that tub operational, though, and the intimidation machine that comes with it
Those aren't rare, those are practically non-existing in all US history.
Unless you advertise it well. They do love their prestige points after they win at capitalism.
After Iran shot down an f-35, I'm not sure if a b-52 is a good idea. At this point, it just seems like the US is flushing heathcare tax dollars down the toilet.
