Comment Re: The AI bubble (Score 4, Insightful) 63

the hunger by the 1% to remove as much humanity from the workplace is sickening.

they fully know they are destroying the middle and lower classes (even more than they already have).

they, like the R party, just dont care. they think they are rich and insulated enough. they never cared what their own people need. the 'let them eat cake' time has come back again, but even worse.

there will be no thought to social systems needed to support the unemployed (which will be many of us, given enough time).

I'm glad I'm retiring soon. I would not want to compete in a job market that bosses think can be done by computer, alone.

and I would not want to be the 'prompt meister' to try to coax answers from the machines that make sense.

some see a great future with AI. I see nothing but doom and gloom. the greed factor is strong in humans and the class disparity will cause rioting and civil wars.

maybe not wars. the US has created a special police force that is above the law, so any uprisings will EASILY be dealt with. they thought about that. ICE is not just for foreigners. its a general purpose police force answerable only to 1 person.

people, please show me I'm wrong. but all signs point to a very bad future for 95% of the 'thinks for a living' workforce.

Laughing at your incompetent mendacity in Napolean, who also got his ass kicked by Russia, also without your help. You barely did anying in WWII; Russia did over 80% of the work of beating the Nazis, show some respect.

Even with Trump's help, russia will lose this one too.

Nothing can beat Russia short of nuclear weapons, but then the whole planet is dead you dumb fuck.

Election wasn't delayed and people went home in a couple of hours. It was a Boomer parade, not a coup - which is what many of them were literally charged with, illegal parading Only person killed was a protestor shot by a cop for no reason. You're a million megatons of incompetent BlueAnon bullshit.

1/6 was no more an insurrection than 9/8 was you dumb fuck.

Q Shaman. Not only walked around peacefully, but was escorted by cops who thanked them for doing their jobs. Vast. Majority. Were. Entirely. Peacful.

Which is why many of them were literally charged with "illegal parading", BlueAnon clown. Now do the The Great Liberal Insurrection that happened years earlier without participants being smeared as seditionists or sent to years for prison, including people who weren't even there.

The Resistance At The Kavanaugh Hearings: More Than 200 Arrests

Except Republicans didn't call everyone involved seditionists and sent people who walked around entirely peacefully or weren't even there to years in prison. And how you gonna overthrow the most powerful government in the world by (checks notes) leaving all your guns at home. Not one firearm was taken inside the Capitol. Not. One.

J6 was a Boomer parade/fedsurrection. That's right, hundreds of state and federal agents/informants were in the crowd and inside the Capitol before it was "breeched".

J6 is Birtherism for liberals.

Comment Small Modular Reactors (Score 1) 48

So these guys are another SMR company, making High Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactors (HTGRs).

The link below lists some of the main players in the SMR space. Notably, X-Power claimed it had achieved criticality for its HTGR in 2021. So perhaps Valar isn't the first, but this isn't my field.

Comment Re:That's a bad look on Marriott. (Score 2) 46

This was the path I pursued when I did not get satisfaction from Hilton or the 3rd party. At first, the credit card company (Discover) did issue a credit. They reversed that decision two weeks later. I had several back and forths with them after that. I sent emails that illustrated the window of cancellation for refund, and when the cancellation was sent. I also sent emails, and phone logs showing my attempts to contact the 3rd party, along with those to Hilton. I asked for an explanation as to why they reversed the decision and not honor my request to decline the charge, but I never got an answer.

In the end, big business sided with big business to the surprise of no one. As a result of that, I also paid off the balance on that card and froze the account. So in the end, two companies lost my business because of a $250 refund that absolutely should have happened. And even though I'd never had an issue in the past, I am also far less inclined to book through 3rd parties now even though they offer a discount. I'd rather pay more and work directly. The amount of time and effort spent fighting this was definitely not worth the savings.

As a retired business owner, I always strove to put my customers first. If I chose a contractor who failed to deliver on their obligations, that's on me. I chose to get in bed with that contractor, not my customer, and I clearly made an honest but poor decision. But my business was not enshittified. I wasn't beholden to shareholders or private equity, who's money is made in the margins of declining levels in service, satisfaction, and quality.
