And they won't stop until it's 100%. You Trumpers won. All I can say is I hope you have the day you voted for.

My one consolation is that Trump is taking away your Medicare.

What exactly is the scam besides a little bit of engagement bait?

More importantly everything in the post is stuff that gig slop companies have been caught doing on multiple occasions.

That's why it's not surprising if it was AI generated because the AI is going to take a little bit of everything that it finds on the internet from otherwise reliable sources and mix it into a slurry. So what you're seeing here is a bunch of associate press articles turned into a post. The articles would have been about other gig slop companies and what they got caught doing but the AI would have just mixed them all together.

Because if it's one thing the United Kingdom has a shortage of it's workers looking for good-paying jobs. Clearly we need more automation.

To do a lot more than just simple documents. They want full-on applications with lots of features. Remember the 80/20 rule. 80% of your users only use 20% of your features but it's a different 20% for every user.

So yeah capitalism does fuck things up here. Also capitalism isn't allowed to function anymore. There is no competition to speak of because there's no antitrust law enforcement.

But in addition to that a modern web browser is basically an operating system in itself. There is literally no application you couldn't write for a web browser as a platform.

So they suck for the same reason that operating systems suck. It's a complex system with shitloads of features and a diverse user base.

If we had proper competition that was regulated by a proper government than there would be a lot less shit because well, capitalism would be able to do its job and deliver an improved product. But that ship sailed 25 years ago when we elected George Bush Jr and he shut down the Microsoft antitrust investigation...

Of every single institution designed to protect you.

Every single thing had to go wrong for Trump to get a second term.

That said voter suppression is the primary reason Trump won his second term. Approximately 7 million Americans tried to vote and couldn't. A combination of illegal challenges to signatures and voter registrations and multi-hour wait times to vote in swing States is what made Trump president.

So mind you yes, as fucked up as it is if the Democrats had run a youngish white man Trump probably would have lost because Trump needed everything to go wrong to get his second term.

But that's small potatoes compared to the millions of people denied the right to vote. There's an old saying among the left in america, there are no red States just States where people aren't allowed to vote.

About 3% of young men voted for Trump over Kamala Harris. People talking about young men going for Trump are massively overstating the margins.

During Trump's first run boomers gave us trump. Both in the primary and the general election boomers overwhelmingly went for Trump No boomers no Trump.

For the second win the boomers only went for Trump by 5%. It was the older genexted overwhelmingly went for Trump and cinched the election for him. Basically 50 to 65-year-olds. It was still old people. No old people no Trump.

I can forgive a damn young man working three jobs with six roommates for getting fooled.

You're 50 fucking years old and you have watched multiple Republicans run roughshod over you and your kids and you keep voting for them. At 50 years old you should be able to find a Wikipedia article discussing how and why Democrats are better for the economy.

So yeah I'm going to blame old people and the old people here on this website are going to get pissed off about that because that's what old people do.

With declining birth rates old people are in charge and this whole mess is the fault of old people but if it's one thing old people hate more than anything else it's taking responsibility for being in charge.

Old people have literally been blaming young people for the messes they caused since fucking Socrates.

Because at the moment liberal arts majors have lower unemployment than computer science majors.

But even ignoring that, if we have people who have successfully learned a skill and the job creators refuse to employ that person maybe, we shouldn't be relying on those job creators. Because they're not doing their fucking job of creating jobs.

who don't get to come into the country and do real work.

they only do that for *your* kids.

This is the same type of Visa that Trump used to bring his current wife into the country with.

There are a whole bunch of only fans models that are really just very very expensive prostitutes for very very rich people.

This is basically sex trafficking like what we saw with the Epstein files only at least it's adult women for a change. I mean if it wasn't adult women then you wouldn't know about it so...

I'm not sure what's going to happen. I know that the billionaires who built out these AI coding tools aren't just going to let the whole system collapse so it makes me wonder seriously how they're going to train their AI in the absence of tons and tons of free access to programmers asking questions and programmers answering questions.

It doesn't really matter right now because it'll take a few years at least for that to be a problem but still.

I mean I do think that we the taxpayer are going to get stuck paying for it when there's a shake out and all those bank loans turn out bad but the actual infrastructure is going to continue to be used by billionaires and trillionaires.

The ability to replace white color workers and to eliminate paying wages is what AI is all about. Paying wages is the problem AI solves.

That is worth a hell of a lot of money and that's not going to go away.

I think the confusion is everyone assumes AI is a consumer product because they mostly interact with it by asking it to make cat videos or something.

AI is not a product, AI is capital that the billionaires use to replace wages. It's automation.

If all you can do is hear it you're lucky. A lot of people get headaches from the noise. It's kind of a low level drone that really messes some people up

What they are doing is buying off the state level legislatures which are already heavily controlled by pro-republican politicians thanks to a campaign by the heritage foundation to take over the state legislations.

They also go after the corporate commissions and everybody forgets those exist and doesn't realize just how much power they have.

Then they just passed laws or just have the corporate commission over rule the local community.

If you want to avoid having all your water and electricity taken by data centers you're going to have to change how you vote and that means you're going to have to be more difficult to manipulate with propaganda blitzes. Because we have winner take all voting and quite a bit of voter suppression so all it takes to pack your state legislature and your corporate commission is it 2 week ad blitz right before the election and an extra hour of wait time to vote on election Day

The current batch of editors here don't like posting things that aren't tech or nerd related no matter how big the story. The only exception seems to be the actual presidential election every 4 years.

But this is too much to not talk about so they posted a story with an AI angle.
