Not like these people had any warning that they might be buying a shitty product designed and sold by a pathological liar /s:

And the glass is virtually indestructible instantly smashes

Ugh, looks like they designed their door handles just like Tesla did. Are EVs in general adopting that design standard? Cuz thanks I hate it.

Its future iterations that are definitely not this?

Sure, I don’t know.

I’d wager we’ll probably reach climate collapse / political crises that throw us off course before a “Westworld-esque” thing is ever possible.

People don’t seem to realize that these tech leaders are all just weaponizing your imagination against you (a.k.a. using a sales technique). GPUs and LLMs aren’t skynet no matter how much people want to project that onto them.

Nvidia cares maybe even less about the outcome than I do, they’ll sell you all the pickaxe you want to buy in the AI gold rush.

haven’t had the potential to replace every job on earth, that’s the real difference for me.

This really doesn’t either tbh. But that’s certainly what they’re selling.

I think we passed the peak a few years ago. But yeah, peak from here on out.

AI, allowing corporate bureaucracy and inefficiency to continue to grow unscathed.

There’s something in the contrast between the high percentages of the “best country in the world” people that generally populate the US vs the lived experience of being in America and noticing the myriad ways in which it is decidedly not the fucking best.

That contrast is a killer, and I think adds to the motivation people have to shit on it.

This round of technology reminds me of when Google was the shiniest thing on the block, and everyone was trying to cram a site specific search engine into their website.

This resulted in open source projects such as Lucene, which is incredibly useful, but is not in reality anything like Google. Over time interest in these projects faded and now they’re just another pretty optional component of a website (many sites just use SQL queries rather than a search engine).

I think chatbots are pretty similar. The premier versions of these things cost way too much to run to be practical for most sites, so they’ll play with the scaled down, easier versions for a time before abandoning the functionality entirely over time unless it’s found to be actually useful.

🤷 and maybe someone was holding his dog hostage until he performed, but that pic doesn’t look like someone who is having a terrible time fulfilling his label obligations

I wonder when “selling out” or being called a “sell out” stopped being a thing. It happened during my lifetime for sure. Now basically everyone everywhere you look in the music business not only is one, but the public seems to not even consider it an option to not sell out, and I think most people dream of being able to be a sell out themselves so much they pardon others preemptively and almost instinctively.

But like in this case, Dave Grohl is already a multimillionaire, does he really have to further prostitute himself for Amazon cash?

Everyone here is taking a dump on foldables, but I bought a Motorola razr 2023 for myself as a kind of Christmas present and after having a phone that comfortably fits in my pocket for the first time in like 10 years there is no way I’m going back to phablets. Thanks, I love it.

Dude, a wide variety of entertainers and lots of other wildly successful people are loosely affiliated with the left.

They’re just too busy doing other stuff instead of screaming into a camera and uploading it on YouTube.

The people you listed aren’t even role models. They’re talking heads. They’re pundits. “The left” depending upon how you define “the left” has those too.

I must admit though that I misread the post I originally replied to. I thought he was talking about how “the right” has many archetypes or blueprints or something for being a man. It doesn’t. It has one stereotype and it wants everyone to be that. However, that’s a different discussion entirely so my apologies.

But think about all of the good it’s done. Crappy article mills would be set back months if we turned it off!

The right has many.

LOL…the right has one. As someone who is relatively a-political, I perceive much more pressure to “be a manly man” (whatever the fuck that is…I guess DRIVE TRUCK, EAT MEAT, FOOT EVERY BALL, LIFT EVERY WEIGHT, JESUS, NO MASK! NO VACCINE! and PUFF OUT CHEST) than I do to “not be a white man” but I guess I don’t spend all day in my basement worrying about what people with anime profile pictures are posting on Xitter, nor watch the big, angry puffed chest man underground truth news featuring screamy mc redface rant about it nightly…so I’m not as black pilled as you are.

This is America in general.

Sounds low

Aren’t words like this basically just German phrases concatenated together?

The model “ate the onion”.

It’s like they made a bot out of the subreddit confidently incorrect.
