That means one quarter of working adults cannot support themselves. That's about 40 million people. So yeah we don't need to bring more people into this country we have plenty of people. Nobody is going to convince me that all 40 million of those people are too stupid to be trained on the tasks H1Bs do.

And I could care less about innovation in this country. All that means is who owns the patents and it's not going to be me owning the patents so why the fuck would I care? I still have to pay the license fees one way or another.

I like how we're supposed to be nationalistic when it's convenient for the Epstein class and globalist when it's convenient for the Epstein class but we can't do either of them when it's good for us.

Just do some light corporate restructuring on paper and hire them all back under a different corporate entity. Trump will look the other way because he's all about the cheap labor. The right wing has always been about cheap labor. Frankly so have conservatives. They talk a good game but it's just talk. Comforting lies

Dude I don't know how young you think I am but I am not any kind of whippersnapper. I learned the program on a zx81, so you can get right on off my lawn.

Large companies hire these guys through contractors not directly. So this will have absolutely no impact on your ability to get a job in IT.

The only way to stop the abuse is to completely shut down all of the programs. Americans cannot and will not do nuance. If we were capable of nuance as a people Donald j Trump wouldn't be president.

I'm open to other suggestions but I have yet to hear a single one that is both viable and actually works. And in a country with 25% functional unemployment you can't keep flooding the job market with cheap labor. People are going to look for a solutions and when the left and the center don't have any then the fascists are going to step up. They aren't actually going to solve the problem but they will end democracy by promising to solve it.

Imagine you collected all interactions of every black person and every white person who ever lived. If you then analyzed the data of these two groups you would notice differences in collective information because racism exists. It's not a claim that one is more or less racist, only that differences inherently exist, particularly differences regarding racial viewpoints. It is human nature to pick a side.

Now, train an AI to properly simulate a black person and a white person. These simulations would reflect the differences above, otherwise the simulations would not be "proper".

Now, run the same test except with black and white instead of male and female. If the AI is told what ethnicity is simulated the responses will be affected. If it does not, then responses won't match ethnicity. Either way, the test subjects will prefer one over the other because...racism exists. The outcome of the test is not in doubt.

That's exactly the problem here, even with male vs. female. The problem with the gender gap is not the victims, so simulating the victims does not make the problem disappear.

Thanks, these are good insights. I would suspect this, didn't want to invest the time to see if it was the case.

LLMs don't know anything, they simulate based on statistics of an enormous number of trained experiences. There really is no way to change only the apparent gender of an artificial personality generated by an LLM that cannot decouple gender from everything else. In fact, it's impossible to actually implement this test with AI- OR human-backed bots.

It's not that you're wrong, but it's impractical. Trump hasn't entirely destroyed the 1st amendment yet.

Require AI's to be branded as such at all times, then anthropomorphizing has a check. Also, English technically has non-gendered and female-gendered forms, "he", while viewed as male, is technically non-gendered. Requiring non-gendered representations makes sense but how is that law constitutional, particularly when we don't have an official language and most languages are heavily gendered?

If we weren't talking English, other languages would inherently attach gender to whatever term for AI you have, because those are the rules.

One thing we should do is bitterly oppose anthropomorphizing AI. It is done deliberately for money.

A trans woman is a woman, it's right there in the name. Consider yourself proved wrong with that alone.

Also, AI cannot experience gender dysphoria, they cannot be trans. To be trans, you first need (traits of) a biological sex, then a self-image that conflicts. AI has none of that, but you can hate them all the same right winger that you are.

You should be able to find this for yourself, your political party is filled with closeted gays and crossdressers.

Models and agents are not the same.

I don't know Elon Musk managed to kill 9 million children without a gun so...

I don't think this is about creating useful or profitable content this is more about training their AIs and showing them off to investors.

Remember the problem AI is designed to solve is wages. Paying wages.

That said we all laughed at horse armor and they just kept cramming it down people's throats until kids grew up who were used to that crap. And yeah you might not be someone who would buy horse armor but it does fuck up the industry and the quality of your hobby is substantially lower as a result.

It probably will be the same with AI slop. You and I will hate it because we grew up in a world without it but to kids who just get that stuff blasted into their eyeballs it'll be normal and they won't have any defenses against it. It will take over the industry through the kids and we will lose access to the stuff we want.

It's okay it's /. The editor will repost at least five times a year even without clock changes.

They've been doing this bullshit since the '70s and it always works. People hear it and think yeah fuck the manager is right?

I figured out the scam a while ago. The original purpose of management was to keep an eye on unions and prevent employees from unionizing. Seriously Google it.

America doesn't really have unions anymore so we don't really have management anymore. What you have are basically a handful of people to implement policy and then you have a shitload of line workers declared management for a variety of unpleasant reasons ranging from managers being exempt from overtime pay to using the manager title to get a lot more work out of someone for very little additional pay if any...

And every time it's layoff time they can jettison these "managers" and tell everyone they're just flattening the organization and making things more efficient so nobody starts poking around asking if the company is viable and if they should be selling off the stock.

It's also a very effective way to fire old people without getting sued for age discrimination. IBM fucking loves doing that and if you actually look at the history of their layoffs it's almost entirely age discrimination pretending to be efficiency

I am so tired of seeing the same fucking tricks work over and over and over again.

I have exclusive access to the source code capable of finding up to 400 defects in Java code, summary below.

VMware didn't do this in a vacuum. If they raise the prices that much it's because they have solid numbers that clearly indicate that their customers don't have anywhere to go.

I'm not a admin so I don't actually run my own VMs but from talking to other admins there is nobody who has tools for doing the kind of deployments you need to do in a large Enterprise except for VMware. I mean the tools exist but you're going to spend so much money paying people to monkey around with them you might as well just paid VMware.

There is a video from a YouTuber called Linus tech tips. His actual tech tips tend to be pretty shit but he does have one good video where he spent a few weeks trying to get all the people in his business off Adobe software and quickly found that yes he could do it but the man hours and the pay he had to spend doing it exceeded the cost of the licenses.

That's what Big Data gets you. You know exactly how much you can screw everybody over. You leave absolutely nothing on the table. Basically a giant fuck you to Leviticus 19:10.
