I don't really think AI can do a human job well, but don't underestimate how badly owners want to remove workers from the equation.

if you played sonic the hedgehog and put down the controller, sonic would look at you and tap his foot impatiently. this was proof that sega genesis cartridges had souls. the decision was made to make the storage cases a lot larger than the cartridges so they would have room to move around in there

Prasad overruled FDA staff to reject Moderna's flu vaccine application

MS NOW: "A congressional official with knowledge of the matter is telling MS NOW the cause of the shutdown of El Paso airspace is a lack of communication between the Pentagon and FAA. The official told us the FAA and DOD are 'not in clear communications with each other.'"

what on earth makes someone like this
This post has a ton of replies from people from the US high-fiving each other and telling stories about the time some foreigner tried to politely relate to them through whatever pop culture slop the US was churning out at the time. USian moment.
this post has a ton of quote tweets claiming american pop culture was actually never influential. bluesky moment.

that's correct. I am saying "no actually, cultural imperialism is great." you can tell because that's what I said.
actually, most quote tweets just point out that cultural hegemony is also bad, you sound like you are saying "no actually, cultural imperialism is great"
maybe I am just not seeing the quote posts you are referring to

so much of the "is AI conscious? maybe..." garbage just seems to be cover for the fact that AI produces a lot of incorrect nonsense that its own designers have no idea how to fix

I think they've been repeating this dumb line so much in an effort to clean up Trump's repeated bizarre claim that you need to show an ID to get into a grocery store
Mike Johnson: "Americans need an ID to drive, to open a bank account, to buy cold medicine, to file govt assistance, even to attend the DNC. So why would voting be any different? They can't answer that question."

this might sound extreme for a bronze medal winner, but keep in mind that in the nordic states, infidelity is like the equivalent of forgetting to take out the trash
new most bizarre moment of the Olympics just dropped
Norwegian biathlete wins bronze medal, then, totally unprompted, reveal he cheated on his GF, she left him, and he wants to apologize publicly hoping she takes him back

we basically have decent economic fundamentals right now--not great and not my dream structure but decent enough by historical US standards--but we are nonetheless experiencing recession conditions because the president is a huge idiot. has anything like this ever happened before?

OK, first, the criminal record of a drug cartel is a bit better established than a random Minneapolis resident.
Second, not only has this DVD scenario never occurred with ICE — and I’m a broken record here! — there’s no record of any agent being doxed and attacked.

RON JOHNSON: In Central America, if you become a police chief, the drug cartels send you a DVD w/ a video of your family going to church or school...that's what ICE agents are facing
SORKIN: But these people are allowed to protest
J: They want their activists to dox them & put families at risk

if we ever dismantle this regime we should send Navarro to China for imprisonment in exchange for other Americans currently detained there
Peter Navarro: "The jobs report comes out tomorrow. We have to revise our expectations down significantly for what a monthly job number should look like ... Wall Street has to adjust for the fact that we're deporting millions of illegals out of the job market."

we should never have given AI the knowledge that Beck, Hanson, Courtney Love, and Marilyn Manson are fakes who should run to their mansions. But now it's too late....
wild AI story from the Olympics
ice dancers were told to use songs "in the style of the 1990s." One Czech pair tried using AI to pump out a song to skate to, but their AI bot fully plagiarized "You Get What You Give" by The New Radicals and they had to change it

we almost never saw pieces like this when the prevailing epstein accusations were based on totally made up claims from the right. now that the actual evidence in the files implicates trump and other right wing figures, we get 5 articles like this a day.
Last week the far right started peddling a narrative that the outrage over Epstein is a moral panic. Today, like clockwork, a more polite version of that narrative appears in the Atlantic.
