In the near future economy, I bet the skill of “can type a prompt into ChatGPT and repeat whatever it says” will be less in demand than “understands things enough to catch when ChatGPT makes an error or hallucinates.”

Wow. Just wow.

"Students pay premium prices for information that AI now delivers instantly and for free. A business student can ask ChatGPT to explain supply chain optimization or generate market analysis in seconds. The traditional lecture-and-test model faces its Blockbuster moment."

Like, say, actual codified consequences for politicians who get impeached or commit felonies.

I mean, y'all COULD have had actual checks and balances this whole time instead of just pretending you did and depending on the good faith of Republicans.

Yeah? And being a flippant, shitty CEO gets you what, exactly?

Okay, so what systems do you have in place for users to take issue with moderators who are blatantly ignoring the site's TOS?

Oh? Absolutely fucking nothing?
And you're surprised that there is widespread contempt for your godawful team?

neilrathberg.bsky.social @neilrathberg.bsky.social · 22d

So... your site is only doing well because people left Twitter in droves due to its toxic, out-of-touch leadership... and you've decided to model yourself after that same leadership?
Good luck with that, enjoy absolutely guttering your reputation and website.

neilrathberg.bsky.social @neilrathberg.bsky.social · 22d

Seriously, what the fuck is wrong with people who run social media sites? Just across the board, cartoonishly out-of-touch.

neilrathberg.bsky.social @neilrathberg.bsky.social · 22d

Good god how are you so bad at this

neilrathberg.bsky.social @neilrathberg.bsky.social · 22d

Do you think any of your weak shit is changing anybody's mind?

WAFFLES

neilrathberg.bsky.social @neilrathberg.bsky.social · 22d

So, this is how you justify not applying your own goddamn TOS equally?

neilrathberg.bsky.social @neilrathberg.bsky.social · 22d

You are truly embarrassingly bad at this.

neilrathberg.bsky.social @neilrathberg.bsky.social · 24d

....so, you're actively choosing to be just as trash as the other social media CEOs, I see.

neilrathberg.bsky.social @neilrathberg.bsky.social · 25d

And, y'know, wouldn't have elected a fascist buffoon and his cronies.

If the US ever cared about those things, you'd have been members of the ICC long ago.

Y'all have a full-blown fascist government in charge, and you think *polls* are going to save you?

I need to tell you about something that happened on my flight to St Louis today.

At the end of the flight, our United flight attendant got on the PA to pitch us on the United credit card, as they are all required to do. After telling us about its benefits, she said the following:

@jamesgunn.bsky.social I remember how heartening it was when people pulled together to support you and reject Disney's decision... you have an enormous amount of power to support another creator right now, and I hope you use it.

@jamesgunn.bsky.social DC's now pulling the same shit on other creators that Disney pulled on you.

The company that once had Superman fighting the KKK is now actively mollifying white supremacists.

DC's creator standards: "Posts or public comments that can be viewed as promoting hostility or violence are inconsistent with DC’s standards of conduct"

So they've gone from Superman fighting white supremacy to actively mollifying the white supremacists

Huh, what a mystery, why is America losing jobs?

Two CNN headlines, published side-by-side: "Hundreds of undocumented immigrants apprehended in massive ICE raid at Hyundai plant in Georgia" and "America lost jobs for the first time since 2020"
Followed by Tim Robinson in a hot dog suit and ICE badge saying "We're all trying to find the guy who did this"

See, before today I didn't really want to burn an American flag.

Now it's basically my duty as an American
