Kaye @kaye@cathode.church Adopt the Juicero or be left behind. A vital shift is underway in juicing. The Juicero is no longer optional. It's tomorrow's future, today. 40% of jobs are impacted by the Juicero. The Juicero isn't the future, it's a present necessity. Nobody hand-juices anymore. To hand-juice is like an impairment. Everyone must now focus on the delegation and the verification of a juice. We become less juice producers and more juice enablers. Adopt the Juicero or be left behind. We are burning every forest and poisoning every river to produce more Juiceros. You will become obsolete if you don't get on the Juicero bandwagon. Students must not be taught how to hand-juice. 80% of jobs will be lost to the Juicero. Students must be taught to exclusively focus on how to collaborate with the Juicero. Education must focus on orchestrating agentic Juicero systems. The Juicero is inevitable. Adopt the Juicero or be left behind. Adapt or risk becoming obsolete. As the Juicero rapidly advances toward automating up to 90% of juicing, the skills that will matter most include juice design, Juicero fluency, juice delegation, and juice quality assurance. 110% of jobs have been replaced by the Juicero.

how can you not trust reviews like this, just cut'n'pasted right in there
Sure! Here are some examples of comments you can use depending on the goal. 👇 🎤 General and Positive Feedback: The microphone is excellent for the computer! The sound quality is very clear without interference, and it's easy to connect and use. Suitable for broadcasting, meetings, or professional audio recording. 💻 Feedback for Technical Review: A practical microphone suitable for daily use. It provides clear sound with good sensitivity, and the noise isolation is excellent for the price. I recommend it for those who record podcasts or use it for online calls. 🗣️ Short Comment for Shopping Websites: > Clear sound and excellent quality! Better than I expected for the price. 👍 Do you want me to write a marketing review to attract buyers or a personal evaluation after use?

a robot throwing darts at a dartboard from very close up. it's close enough to just stab the dart into the bullseye, but instead it throws the darts very inaccurately. several darts end up stuck in the edges of the image, including one behind the robot.

Deutsche Bank analysts say AI's not a bubble you guys, they checked with AI

and not y'know looking at a fucking number

www.ft.com/content/c042...
Deutsche analysts said in late September that concerns were overplayed, after using AI to analyse how many mentions of an AI bubble there were in English language publications since the start of the year. They concluded: “One AI bubble has already burst — the bubble in saying there’s a bubble.”

like this from the Vibecamp Manifesto *could* be interpreted as not a sequence of Nazi dog whistles until we know it's actually talking about Yarvin and his fans

manifesto.quest/my-manifesto...
EMBRACE EARNEST DISSENT in the age of echo chambers, we champion the disagreeable misfits who sincerely stand up for themselves and their ideas. those who cut against the grain. vibecamp is a communal garden where earnest openness reigns supreme, and the overton window widens. so speak your truth, anon. just don’t be an ass, ok?

Framework Laptops endorsed a pile of fascists, lots of decent people cancelled their orders aaaaaand they're suddenly rather slow in refunding

go fash lose cash

mastodon.sandwich.net/@Vrimj/11543...
Vrimj @Vrimj@mastodon.sandwich.net Just a heads up I haven't gotten a refund from my cancelled FW12 order. Framework seems to be having trouble figuring it out. I don't know why, maybe it is Canada or maybe it is a high volume of similar requests, but it is a sign I always find concerning in a company I am worried about the financial stability of. Could be nothing, but if you have been wavering on a cancellation I figured you might want a heads up.
