I love the blind comment by the guy. He says people are sick of drama about what’s happening inside the DNC. Obviously almost nobody in the country gives one flying fuck about that. We all care what the DNC does, not have they have little power disputes.
To be more precise, we care that the DNC doesn’t give a damn for the average American, and they’ve shown no signs of improving for the last 20+ years.
That’s what they’re banking on, but we know that eventually they will f*** it up and lose everyone.
Probably the pipes get ugly if the plumber is trying to install 11s and 22s. Probably they will have a different idea.
Right, and on the other hand they are risking state prison.
If they are acting illegally, they could in theory face state charges for assault and battery. In theory. Because they have no arrest powers. Maybe. Right? That’s the tricky point.
So they would have to be super confident to not find out the scope of their authority.
The article is also full of bullshit and it gets basic history wrong. The agreement was never made, but to the extent it exists anyway, it was never supposed to be about a monopoly that’s destroying shit. Once upon a time, not even very long ago, there were competing search engines.
I know tech writers want to write stories that sound fancy, but if they don’t know the facts and the history then they need to find someone to proofread their work more carefully.
And maybe that’s okay, isn’t it?
Protests turn into riots when the police wanted to, exactly then, and very rarely before that point.
We can blame the officials. Don’t let the heckler’s veto work. It’s murder of course, but it’s also bullying. And capitulation only makes it worse next time. They’ll always have lunatics with guns.
Why? That question always has multiple answers. Are you asking for a historical timeline? That might be the true story, but it also might not feel compelling.
Above all else, remember that Reddit feels many sources of pressure. They want money and users, but they also need to limit spam, and they don’t wanna piss off the rich stock holders, either.
Well no, it’s not, because they have multiple monopolies. So we should blame them and blame government for not stopping them.
You’re straw manning. Please don’t.
Recognizing that violence has in fact “been the answer” to various circumstances in the past, and will be in the future, is different from saying everyone should pick up a gun today.
Violence is never the answer … if you ignore all of human history, yes. Sadly, it often has been, though.
Obviously the situations are different. We all know that. The point is that it’s hypocritical of a company to say hey, let’s ask our employees to do more by throwing AI at them, and then getting pissed off when potential employees do the same thing.
Although I think it’s more funny than anything else. The company found out that people are gaming the system, which means they have a really shitty system, and rather than change how they interview people or what types of questions they ask, they’re just acting obstinate.
I think we’ve seen enough changes in social media platforms over the past few decades to say that your claim is true until it’s not. As payments to content creators fall, and as garbage postings increase, the actual value to the average user of the site is clearly decreasing. So we’ll see how long YouTube is relevant.
So you’re saying that other options do exist but some companies don’t want to use them because Microsoft is very popular, which is kind of a circular thing, and I understand, but it’s a sign of laziness, not quality.
I think he’s trying to bait people into threatening his life, so that he can send people out to their houses and arrest them. What he doesn’t realize is that most people are smarter than that, and they won’t talk, they will simply act as necessary in order to defend themselves.
I’m not sure this is any more humiliating than the original tantrum was, but because neither of them believes a word of anything they say anyway, nobody really cared. When you live your life in a narcissistic bubble, you never had friends and you never will have any, and no apologies you make or accept have any meaning.
I have to quibble with you, because you used the term “AI” instead of actually specifying what technology would make sense.
As we have seen in the last 2 years, people who speak in general terms on this topic are almost always selling us snake oil. If they had a specific model or computer program that they thought was going to be useful because it fit a specific need in a certain way, they would have said that, but they didn’t.
It’s not we that have become evil. I think it’s imperative that people properly consider who is doing the evil shit.
Many years ago I was visiting some country in Central America, and they were not angry that I was American even though the American government had done horrible things to their country, because they knew that I had no control over what those crazy motherfuckers did.
And that doesn’t mean that everyone is powerless, that we shouldn’t try to make a difference. That’s a different conversation.
