Remove all fact checking and censorship. Then the wingnuts can all kill themselves with dangerous "cures" the next time there is an epidemic. The world will be a better place when they're all gone.

Zuckerberg hasn't invented anything at all.

I'm thinking that instead of "replaced" they meant "supplemented". You don't tackle a shrinking workforce by replacing workers, but you would if you started supplementing your workforce with robots.

“The number-one reason people get these degrees is insecurity,” reckons Bob Shireman of the Century Foundation, a left-leaning think-tank in New York. “The feeling that if they are going to get a job—or keep their job—they need a master’s degree.”

Bob is an idiot. It's not insecurity at all. It's the fact that society has said for decades, "Get a degree to get a job" And now they're saying, "Get a masters to get a job."

It's the fault of people in HR and on hiring committees that first used bachelor degrees to weed out applicants and are now using masters degrees to do the same.

If you are not going for a PhD. and into academia, most masters degrees are useless.

Trump is no better. He rambles on, goes off topic and gets lost in practically every speech he gives. This is just going to become more apparent during his presidency because now everyone will be watching.

Maybe for shiats and giggles the Democrats should start screaming that the election was stolen. Make the Republicans run around and prove there was no election interference like Trump and cronies did when Biden won. Trump can scream fake news and stolen election....so why doesn't Harris?

I'm guessing that the victim of the hammer attack was probably an ass in the game and pushed the other guy too far. Yes I'm victim blaming. Anyone that's played at least one online game knows how toxic the environment is.

As for the attacker, he's a moron for letting some anonymous idiot get under his skin enough to even contemplate something like this.

It's just a damn game!

Everyone I talked to was worried about their jobs be they a programmer or other IT professional or a labourer, with the recent explosion of AI coverage in the media.
It was like the 80s all over again, when all I heard was "Robots are going to take our jobs!"

I realized early on, that it wasn't my job that was in peril. It wasn't the lowly workers job that was in peril either. Menial tasks will still need to be done and right now the best "person" for that job is a human. But management jobs...well to me they're ripe for being replaced by AI. Analyzing market trends, cost analysis, risk analysis....all tasks that AI is meant for.

Why not replace over paid management with AI? Have AI tell the pleebs that "Today we're making grommets." and when the market shifts the AI will tell workers to make widgets instead.

It's all levels of management that should be worried, not the lowly workers. That's where the real cost savings will be realized. When a company doesn't have to pay millions of dollars a year to a CEO but can get the same results with a one time investment in an AI, with minimal yearly maintenance costs, why the fuck not?

And PP and the Cons will roll back this funding increase as soon as they are in power. So if you are in favour of funding scientific research or are a student, get ready to wave bye-bye to the money JT just made available to you.

They should charge for carry on and make checked luggage free.

A place where you could post a question and actually get a helpful answer. Where you could have meaningful discussions with other like-minded people.

Unfortunately it all went to shit the day AOL opened its gates and released it's horde of unwashed masses onto the internet. Usenet went from being a useful resource to a cesspool of useless garbage where discussions were little more than schoolyard name calling sessions.

Google didn't kill Usenet, AOL did...30 years ago.

Hahahaha. Oh Elmo...what a dud!

So innovative, they built something that was first flown in the mid -1800s.

Also, if it's powered by diesel generators can they really claim, "...will kickstart a new era in climate-friendly air travel"?

You're right. Orders should not take 30 minutes to deliver. But they do. I drove for UberEats as a side hustle for 3 years.

Do you know where most of the time is spent? Waiting at the restaurant because gig economy delivery allowed restaurants that have no business offering delivery to offer delivery. Delivery orders get zero priority. You get fast food restaurants with a backlog of delivery drivers because they don't have enough properly trained staff to deal with the deliveries on top of the drive-thru and customers at the counter.

Pizza places have been set up with delivery specifically as part of their business model for decades. You can't compare them with every restaurant that never offered delivery before being able to offer delivery through an app now.

Uber and DoorDash pay shit to the drivers because guess what? No one is going to pay more than $3 for a McDonald's order to be delivered. People ordering on delivery apps don't take into account the time it takes the driver to get to the restaurant, the time spent waiting, and the time to then drive to their house/apt.

So yeah, pay drivers more. But the money is coming from the customer, either in a tip or increased delivery fees.

And I've seen a lot of complaints on here about from people about the delivery driver they had. They're right, there are a lot of shit drivers out there that will screw up the delivery, or steal the food. But you know what? There are just as many customers out there that will lie about the delivery not being made in order to get free food, will take back the tip after the delivery just because they can, will complain about things completely out of the control of the driver. Complaining about your food order not being correct is like complaining about UPS because Amazon forgot to put something in the box. Drivers don't make the food, they pick up a package at point A and and deliver it to point B. That's it. Yes, many of them can't do that correctly, but a lot of them can and they get screwed over.
