for a while.

I don't think online reviews should be trusted anymore. Advertisers have found all the tricks to make ratings look one way or another.

It really sucks because I just want good legitimate information, but everywhere I find we're just bombarded with sponsored content. This trend of 'influencers' is a perfect example.

Just in time to sell after his next kickstarter ships for even more millions!

Itâ(TM)s the circle of liiiiiiiife⦠itâ(TM)s the wheel of fortune⦠so long as the MBA gets to sell the same shit again and get that phat payout.

So they have 1428 W2 workers, and 500 contractors, 1928 employees. They just let 700 people go, so now they're down to 1228.

Effectively they've removed 37% of their workforce. That's a lot of employees.

I assume this is really a ploy for meta to buy almost a thousand AI devs for pennies on the dollar compared to what their salaries would have commanded to be hired directly to meta.

Their shipping subsidiary is very outsourced.

They run the warehouses but franchises effectively do the transportation to users.

it should never be taken public.

It's getting close to human quality with the hallucination rate. I can't wait to not have to work!

Guess what % of drivers punished with this crime will suddenly have businesses with a need for a commercial vehicle? lol

Just another punishment for the poor.

We're in for a giant market crash for everything ML. It's just a matter of time for investors to start panicking.

The ROI on AI doesn't seem to be here to the tune of hundreds of billions of dollars of yearly revenue like is being spent on hardware. There's a market, sure, but it's not that big.

no new gpu is available outside of the scalper market and the AIBs are upping their prices well above FE msrp.

Itâ(TM)s a significant price increase if you actually want to purchase one, over prices from just November. Often double or triple price from scalpers. The 4090 was almost msrp when they stopped production.

Just have to look at their news headlines.

Your reply here would be something like âoeWildstoo OBLITERATES delusional critic of common senseâ

Subtag will be there like [NO NONSENSE]

Itâ(TM)s like everything is about a big fight. If not obliterates maybe you âoeslammedâ them.

These guys are paid tens of billions of dollars to run cable and setup networking gear only to turn around and charge us to use it.

The Affordable Connectivity Program was funded by 14 billion dollars of taxpayer money to subsidize the monthly subscription to the telecoms. This is on top of the 42.45 billion they were given to provide service to unserved and underserved areas... all the while AT&T lobbies to prevent nationwide fiber rollouts.

The whole thing is a racket. We should have the cheapest, fastest, most available networking in the entire world with the exception of highly rural areas, the same kinds of areas where Satellite and Cellular networking is preferred due to extremely low density. Any city that is even remotely suburban should at the minimum have municipal at-cost high speed networking connections that are symmetrical gig as once you build it, maintaining it is way cheaper than what the telcos charge.

As a bonus, i've yet to hear a horror story about municipal fiber. I've heard horror stories from pretty much everyone regarding their experience with for-profit telcos.

How else did you know when your baby clocked 50 in a 25?

Without money you can't buy nicotine containing products. The logic is the same as what they are going with...

You take the 12-20k every business pays for each employee to have healthcare and pool the funds together. You stop paying all insurance agencies and the great majority of people handling medical billing.

You start negotiating drug prices and pay 30% or less of current pharmacy benefit prices too.

I don't see how it would make any difference. They only sell things that are infinitely duplicated for effective zero cost. All you can do at best is hurt them via bank fees which will be effectively nothing to a company that pulls that much revenue.

It's been proven that game protests, boycotts and other attempts have all been calls to action with no real outcome in almost all circumstances. Gamers just aren't going to band together because there is no picket line where you must walk past and be seen, so it's pretty much whatever.

I think the best outcome you could realistically push for is to get the game banned in your state. If the business is doing business with russia right now then there's a pretty clear cut argument to ban or sanction them in the US or Europe. I don't think anybody on here has any knowledge or influence to affect public policy though. Nothing ever comes out of slashdot.
