Yeah, I dunno about that. “Anti-hero” is a pretty big trope, not at all limited to mentally ill characters.

So same template but for dystopian surveillance and blaming immigrants for everything

You can get good sears on nonstick. We’ve done it for years.

Nonstick is easier to use and clean, but you’ll have to buy a new one every year or two, depending on how hard you are on them. Cast iron is practically indestructible in that you can almost always bring it back to usable condition; but keeping it usable takes more care. There’s also carbon steel if cast iron is too heavy for you.

I’m guessing they mean they’re tired of dealing with mushroom poisoning cases. “High risk” according to the article means wet weather and more death caps for laypeople to find and eat.

Fifth grade me would have laughed at this for days and days. Reminds me of “the pirate”

I get handwritten religious solicitations like that about once a year. I opened one once out of curiosity.

Manufacturing is one of America’s hottest growing professions

Dunno what universe Fortune is talking about, but in this one, manufacturing is shedding jobs like almost every other sector in the US.

The "nobody: " meme format was always nonsensical and pointless and needs to be forgotten.

AI cannot do your job as well as you can, but a salesman can convince your boss to fire you and replace you with an AI, because it’ll make your boss money

Agreed, exactly. In the short term, at least. The LLM industry is the world’s biggest ponzi scheme right now though. If they had to start charging people enough to float themselves without borrowing from investors, the whole thing would collapse overnight because no one would pay for it. The endgame is not a profitable product to bring to market, because that’s not possible with this technology.

What is your view on why billionaires are pushing AI?

They’re trying to race as fast as possible to the closest they can get to AGI (a delusion) for their own use before climate change starts killing off billions of people in the near future. They know that humanity is near-term fucked, and they’re feathering their nests and ripping the copper out of the walls at our expense. Some of them, like Musk and Yavin, are deluded though to think they can actually rule over a scaled-down human population (only the ones they can’t replace with AI) in a dystopian techno-feudal system. Either way, we’re expendable assets to be shoveled into their furnace.

I feel bad for them that they believed it.

Exactly. The LLM industry is operating at a loss of hundreds of billions of dollars a year. Investors are just handing the world’s wealth over to these companies that are going to go tits up the second they can’t fund everything on hype anymore.

There are some good points in there somewhere about how losing one’s job affects the mind. I’m just hung up on the proffered idea that LLMs are actually going to replace anybody in an efficient sustainable way, or even reach AGI someday. They’re not. We’re already reaching the limit of how much power and silicon we can throw at this, and LLMs still can’t actually replace a thinking person. Also the post completely misses the reason billionaires are pushing LLMs so hard, and ignores the water and electricity resource limitations we’re already up against.

No surprise to anyone who’s been paying attention to what he does instead of what he says.

This was my exact experience with Manjaro.

In such a world, the only options are to ignore it, shut down EU operations, or geoblock the EU entirely. I assume most platforms will simply ignore it—and hope that enforcement will be selective enough that they won’t face the full force of this ruling. But that’s a hell of a way to run the internet, where companies just cross their fingers and hope they don’t get picked for an enforcement action that could destroy them.

(Emphasis added)

As society quickly shifts toward authoritarianism and due process becomes a suggestion, it’s not just on the Internet that we have to live this way from now on. We live at the pleasure of the police state.

No shit suicidal people are turning to the dark web. People are not allowed to talk frankly about it hardly anywhere. Apparently we can’t even talk shit about ourselves without it being labeled “digital self-harm 😭”.

Sasha YES

It was always going to happen soon. It didn’t have to be this stupid and cruel, though.
