Comment Re:Anyone know where the racism against Indians (Score 1) 23

Sorry musk not mask. That's where you're picking up these talking points. Elon Musk. It was supposed to read I saw Elon Musk but that's what I get for relying on speech to text.

Always funny to watch people spread racist talking points and pretend they aren't right wing extremists. God I hope you're getting paid for this. It would be sad if you were doing it for free. That's some fine sealioning either way. Putin is proud and thanks you for your service.

Anyway anyone know why all these racists are going after Indians now? Again is it just Pakistani intelligence? It really doesn't take a hell of a lot to make Americans go racist against a group of people. A few million dollars worth of social media posts and Pakistan could have us frothing at the mouth. Of course if it threatened to cut off the flow of cheap labor I suspect the ruling class here would do something about that. At that point it just comes down to how clever Pakistan's intelligence agency is.

Or I could be completely off base it's just they're the only ones I could think of who would have a motive. God knows the right wing is only ever bigoted against people they are told to be bigoted against. If TV doesn't tell them to pull their pants down when they poop their underpants would be covered in shit.

So there's definitely something behind the spread of racism focused on India. Maybe it's china? India's taking over China as the main manufacturing hub for us products so maybe the goal is to put a stop to that?

I'm just spitballing here though. I certainly don't have enough intelligence background to figure out who's responsible. But I do have enough critical thinking skills to know somebody is.

Somebody's going to get killed. They just had an incident on a test course where their vehicles ignored a School bus with its lights and stop sign out.

This is Elon trying to pump his stock and the corrupt government of Texas letting him do it at the cost of their own citizens' lives and property.

It's not working anymore. There isn't anyone left alive who doesn't know and understand Tesla is going to collapse soon. It's not if it's when and who is going to get caught holding the bag.

In the old days they dump it on the public pensions but those are mostly gone except for a handful of them in blue states that won't allow you to do that.

That leaves your 401k. Rules have been relaxed and it becomes possible to do that kind of bad stock dumping into individual people's 401ks. People will find out the hard way what a Chesterton fence is over the course of the next 20 years...

Comment Re:Why (Score 1) 34

Does the "music industry" need to hunt down AI generated songs? It's not their songs and it's none of their business where they came from.

Because of music fraud. There's a very real problem right now of fake music being uploaded under real artists names for the purpose of click farming. It's the same as AI generated books that are nothing but incomprehensible trash that pretends to be from real authors to capitalise on their names.

The problem is the bar for checking currently is "is this music yes / no", and beyond that uploads to streaming sites are generally allowed. It's then relies on a manual process to call it out and get it taken down for impersonation, but the shit comes up basically as quickly as it gets taken down.

Is coming from? I don't believe for a second that it's an organic response to the huge flood of cheap H-1B labor. It's got to be engineered. I'm just curious why.

I saw you on mask reposting these same kind of racist comments and that guy is so far behind the curve his Earth is flat. If he's picking it up it's because somebody is signal boosting it and I'm not sure why. Maybe pakistan?

I've always been surprised Europe doesn't try to counteract the Russian propaganda hitting america.

Comment It's the third industrial revolution (Score 1) 23

So yeah you're going to see a lot of stories about it. It is a fundamental change in how we work and what types of work we are allowed to do.

However it's too much for brains that evolved on the Savannah to deal with. Sort of like how nobody fully understands the difference between a millionaire and a billionaire. Just how much power a billionaire wields by comparison...

And also we all know the shit is about to hit the fan so there's going to be a whole hell of a lot of coping going on rather than actually solving the problems. Because there really isn't a solution to these problems. Again the brains that evolved to chase down animals until they were too tired to fight back aren't ready for what's about to hit them.

When I use my phone I can use it anywhere. That includes a 40 year old piece of shit car without even ABS. When I use a touchscreen in a car you damn well know that car also includes ABS, ESC, and AEB.

Heck if I feel the need to touch the screen in *my* car I'm not concerned about it because the car spends most of it's time doing the driving, and steering, and braking, and doesn't rely on my attention in the slightest.

Yes touchscreens are bad for driver attention, and yet with new cars the accident rate is demonstrably lower. Think about that for a moment.

Comment Re:Blame Tesla (Score 1) 128

No sorry. Touchscreens were a thing long before Tesla came along. Heck my 2006 Subaru outback had a radio that was completely touchscreen controlled, and that 6 years before Telsa "invented" touchscreens.

Tesla may have been the first company to try and move everything to the touchscreen, but literally all other companies were already heading down that path.

Comment Re: Should be illegal (Score 1) 128

Hyundai has pledged not to use touchscreens for important controls.

It's an empty pledge. Literally nearly every car manufacturer doesn't require touch screen for important controls. In fact the EU NCAP rating will very soon limit the safety rating of cars that fit this category and right now it seems that the Tesla model 3 is the *only* vehicle which will actually be affected.

I pledge I will go to bed tonight. Now give me kudos for being so awesome.

And what brand would that be? You can't vote with your wallet if there's no choice.

All of them. There's no need to use a touch screen in virtually every car. They all have all critical controls available on the steering wheel, and all non critical controls not on the steering wheel are available via voice command on literally every car I've used in the past 5 years.

Having a touch screen doesn't mean you need to use it. No touchscreen option means having the ability to use your car without it.

Comment Who cares? (Score 1) 104

I am not am employer, nor am I a work for hire company. I buy a product or subscribe a service to get a result. Whether that result is human generated or AI generated is irrelevant. The only thing I care about is the quality of the outcome.

That "artist" sounds like the type of person who would have fired his accountant in the 70s for using a calculator.

Oh no I 100% know how Accenture works. My bother inlaw and his wife both worked for them (actually they met at a training course while working for them). They definitely send clueless interns and charge through the nose.

My point was: This would still produce a better outcome than the absolute cuckelfuckery that was coming out of Intel's marketing department the past 5 years. Heck I think their 5 year old daughter could produce better marketing material. At this point Intel's shithouse marketing in the past few years is the shit of memes in how bad it is.
