Comment Re:Why older workers aren't worried (Score 2) 29

My guess is that older workers aren't too worried because we have enough experience to recognize the hype when we see it, and the experience to see how badly it does overall (it helps in some small instances, but overall not that much). I don't see 2 years as bringing enough difference to matter unless the AI bros come up with a new way.

This. AI risk to workers isn't growing, it has already peaked, because we're going over the top of the hype cycle already, and the hype is soaring above reality. The next AI winter is coming.

Also a private platform's definition of misinformation can not only be imperfect, but they're legally within their rights to remove far more than just misinformation, and could remove content by whatever criteria they please. There are audiophile forums that will remove documentation of attempts at scientific testing. Truth Social will ban you for criticizing Trump or saying things he doesn't like. TwitX will ban you for saying things Musk doesn't like (often things that could pose a risk to his vested interests). There are flat earth forums that will ban you for saying the Earth is round. The only alternative to any of this is the forced speech approach of forcing private parties to host content against their will.

After WW1, the kings and queens in Europe saw their political power greatly reduced, and by the end of WW2 the few monarchies that survived had their monarchs limited to ceremonial duties, with real political authority being wielded by the countryâ(TM)s equivalent of a prime minister. The exceptions are microstates - Liechtenstein, Monaco, Vatican - the last one the only absolute monarchy left in Europe.

From what little recent data is available, the COVID19 variants circulating now are at least in the same ballpark of mortality rate as all those that have been circulating since early 2022, although data from India suggests that variants circulating this year may have mortality closer to the early-pandemic peaks:

Also it's significantly higher than the mortality rate of the flu, so if your vaccination choices are based on the danger of contracting the disease, that would make you a dumbass without a logical brain:

There's no way you've had covid. It's not "the sniffles," it's the worst goddamn flu you can imagine. I've also had dengue fever and it felt pretty similar to that. And as someone who's lost some friends and family to it, including an uncle who didn't get vaccinated, fuck you. I hope you get long covid.

I know many and I even speak russian fluently. And yes, many idiots do worhsip stalin. Many other idiots even worship hitler.
Hell, putler's favourite philosopher was a fascist and putler's justification for the invasion was an almost literal quote of hitler, as were many other things he stated. How does it feel to defend an actual fascist?
