Instead of ignoring all of the reports of sizeable layoffs that have plagued tech for the last 12-18 months (ironically for the reason you deny), care to share what job you hold that you assume is magically immune in the alternate reality unfazed by AI?

Perhaps he was more referring to his "white" collar workers, since the union negotiations essentially turned a blue collar hourly wage into something that every college graduate is now jealous of.

Of course the end result of that blue collar turned white is rolling mortgages rotting away on Ford lots everywhere. Gee, I wonder if it has anything to do with that instant depreciation hit that went from 10% to 40% for all post-COVID overpriced dogshit?

Preach on, value-adding CEO. * rolls eyes *

Seriously?

Next thing you know you’ll be telling me to call 867-5309. I’ll bet that bitch Jenny can uninstall it.

Sure hope not. Talk about sloppy seconds.

(Linux) ”You say you used to go HAM on that rig? Like I need to ask how many miles you got on that chassis. Reeks of defrag, Cheetos and porn. No thanks.”

(BSD) ”I’d still do her.”

You say this as if we humans aren’t watching people race drones through courses that would make wombat shooting back home look easy.

If they’re that small, the only thing that we need to attach to them is a small propulsion device to push it out of orbit and burn up, since there’s likely zero change if it making through the atmosphere.

Thank you for explaining why every space-venturing company on the planet should be subject to a $50 billion dollar deposit immediately. For obvious cleanup costs down the road.

You assume that Elon, wasn’t talking to Elon.

That’s a pretty strong assumption.

Perhaps you misunderstood. The key word, is hardy. As in what microbes would have to adapt to in order to help create life on a planet that has changed dramatically. That’s not trying to win back the atmosphere. It’s more creating a solution that accommodates the lack of one.

They’re not cheap probably for the same reason your hairdryer comes with an LMMT (Legally Mandated Moron Tag) on it that reads “Do Not Use In Bathtub”.

We should probably be thankful. Can’t imagine how bad a Temu disinfecting bench would be at tanning, but plenty of morons would find out.

Yes, because Judas Priest was a household name beloved by fans ages 8 to 80 back in the day, and businesses were racing to fire people prematurely and replace them with their amazing influence, right?

This is NOT the same thing. Because of the sheer volume and now business dependency that exists on ChatGPT and the like.

The side effects of hiring a shitty person on a business, used to be easy to fix. You fucking fire the shitty person. The hell are you gonna do when that shitty person turns out to be the corporate AI entity in disguise, perhaps after a single patch/hack/update, and the next morning tens of thousands interacting with said shitty person? That’s literally a mind virus you now must eradicate. Far worse than any McAfee could uninstall.

And that, is just what happens within a large corporation. Imagine what happens inside governments that are wholly dependent on ChatGPT and the like 5-10 years from now. Social media manipulation will be considered child’s play by comparison. I can already see LLM manipulation becoming THE political gold mine to target and hit.

If we can land on an asteroid, I think we can certainly figure out a way to land on a dead satellite and push it out of an orbit it relies on for its continued existence. Either to a fiery death or off in space.

Then it becomes a matter of calculating risk of it impacting something else. No matter how ugly this may appear, it’s probably a lot more viable than sending up 10,000 autonomous robots working together in symbiotic unison to carefully dismantle a satellite while somehow not making matters worse in the process.

If microwave technology was alien in the 90s, then I should have been more alarmed over E.T. and The Predator hanging out in my kitchen at 3AM nuking that leftover pizza a mutant turtle delivered hours ago.

If microwave technology was alien to 90s Australian astronomers, no wonder we’re still laughing.

Quick question for all you Linux lickers out there; who the fuck is Linus and why is one guys job “to enforce them”?

Yes, old heads. I want you to pretend for a moment someone wrote this and then tell me how serious people should take Linux:

I hope Linux actually has a succession plan for when The Almighty Linus dies. Somehow I don’t think canonization is gonna help the merge schedule.

Yeah. You’re right. Children are a whole other level. Because they eventually grow the hell up and stop being fully reliant and dependent on everyone else. Even better, if you raise children right, they get to reward you like nothing else can ever do. Life. Love. Personal growth and achievement. Grandchildren. No history book was written by the descendants of cats, which are little more than permanent toddlers. You right. You can’t just go do whatever you want when you own cats. They have to be cared for. Vacations plans. Holiday plans. Travel plans. ALL have to accommodate permanent toddler care while you are away. And they don’t “grow up” out of that. Ever.

There are many factors at play. But to be honest, the corrupt rewards that Western women still manipulate the system to receive need to be eradicated. Rewards such as continuing to insist that mandatory DNA testing at birth would “ruin” families. (As if the cheating woman needing to cover her tracks with zero accountability wasn’t already guilty of that.) Or being financially rewarded for divorcing and planning on that fact. Lesbians insisted on marriage rights. They now lead the divorce rate, and will likely forever lead it. This behavior speaks volumes to men without saying a word.

Yes. Some answers ARE that simple. Men Going Their Own Way and giving up on placating the ones who feel they are somehow permanently exempt from accountability is a very simple answer until parts of our society are forced to grow the hell up. After all, Equality For All, is something men have been forced to learn. Over and over and over again.

So, you're denying the obvious problem of zero accountability eating feminism wholesale as they attempt to stand more and more in mens shoes? Modern feminism arrogantly fails to respectfully understand what it means to be subserviant to a Provider and Protector. Zero accountability, is what is ultimately feeding that self-sabotage.

Weird how every wave of feminism before this one understood what it meant to be subservient to their benefit rather than to their detriment. The 21st Century Boss Bitch wants to confuse being subservient with slavery while showcasing a career, as if men lust after careers? Because women are so open to sharing their wealth?? Ironic just how many of those who freed themselves from the burden of marriage find themselves realizing how much of a mistake that will forever be. Accountability, comes for all.

Wrong. I'm looking at the literal facts that left romance behind 500 years ago. I'm looking at the blatant fact that Japan and their cultures, no matter how outdated they may seem today, were proven timeless by a nation that ultimately survived and thrived under those exacting, undying, unchanging conditions for centuries. Not an easy task for an island nation. And they are not exactly thriving today when looking at the numbers. Which again, is not an easy thing to swallow for an island nation. Especially one so deeply steeped in tradition. Yes. It would be nice if the core of the Japanese history and rich culture would not simply die off. They continue to exist today for the benefit of mankind, not the detriment.

Oh for fucks sake, enough with the romanticism already. America hung signs welcoming those to the "land of opportunity" while blatantly and purposely failing to mention the natives waiting for the opportunity to take their scalps. Those that ventured West in search of opportunity, we're fucking decimated. By native violence. Native violence that existed among the warmongering natives long before any "settler" wrote themselves into the history books proudly drinking from a stolen melting pot.

And no matter how much anyone else wants to bitch about Americas deceptive history, the end result even today is still a nation that people cross thousands of miles to live. It's still a great nation regardless of how many may live in shame. You sure as shit don't find many of those bitching leaving. Ever.

Only an insufferable racist would paint an entire nation like that. Grow the fuck up.
