Work in an industry that uses raw RE oxides to produce medical equipment.

We are fucking toast if these tariffs and restrictions are kept.

You literally can’t get some of these REs anywhere else in the world as in the natural abundance is literally only in china.

What you said is correct I imagine but some of the REs are utilized in a raw format in us based plants.

Most first-world-problem shit I’ve ever heard.

Yeah I shouldn’t criticize my paid service because there are bigger problems out there

Yeah I despise LLMs ( really they are fine what I actually hate is how much it’s getting shoved into things) but I won’t act like they don’t have any use cases. It’s a bit obstinate to act like they have no use.

I love the “but it pays for schools” argument, like how about we drop 3 less bombs per year and just pay for all the schools out of the existing tax pool like it should be.

Gotta be one of the most dogshit takes I’ve ever seen, hope you’re evicted one day!

Man only 1 in 5 people left Twitter in the US? A bit disappointing…

That’s fair that it’s mainly in the head of the person in the story.

That being said my partner and I actively point, laugh, and make fun of any cyberturds we see on the road very obviously. I’m sure we aren’t the only ones.

Mint’s sweet I switched from 10 a few months back. Biggest difference is getting use to the different file system, only 2 games have been unplayable (didn’t try to make them work tbh).

Linux, while overall almost botherless, still looses to windows.

Been using mint for around 2 months and I would say this is pretty accurate. Pretty much every game I play works out of the box. Discord however crashes the whole system sometimes and I can’t figure out why. Would still recommend Linux over windows but you will for sure encounter more issues.

Vegans have been refining these arguments for a decade now and can present clear sharp moral stances with a counter to everything you have to say

Lol they fuck they can, they couldn’t even properly present and defend their own sources.

I disagree, I think it is basic human/biologic that drives us to grab up resources and hoard them to ensure survival/reproduction/future generations. Capitalism is just a vehicle in which we are capable of expressing that biological greed on a global scale.

Strong agree here. You hit on a lot of the core issues on LLMs, so I’ll say my opinions on the economic aspects.

It’s been more than a year since chatGPT released this plague of “slap AI on the product and consumers will put their children down for collateral to buy!” which imo we haven’t seen whatsoever. Investors still have a hard-on for the term AI that goes into the stratosphere but even that is starting to change a little.

Consumers level of AI distrust has risen considerably and consumers have seen past the hype. Wrapping this back around to the CEOs level of power, I just don’t think LLMs are actually going to have enough marketability for general consumers to become juggernaut corpos.

LLMs absolutely have use cases but they don’t fit into most consumer products. No one wants AI washers or rice cookers or friggin AI spoons and shoehorning them in decreases interest in the product.

Fair enough, Jesus they’re getting really brazen

Those are grow kits not actual mushrooms, it’s more of a grey area although selling spores for growing is expressly illegal.

Yeah like I hate Microsoft, I am migrating to Linux, and the things I read about recall were pretty fucking horrifying to me. At the end of the day though the general public doesn’t give two shits about tech other than it works out of the box.

Fuck EA of course but that AI pic is horrible. The fuck does a U-shaped Ferrari sitting in front of an Obama campaign billboard have to do with EA putting ads in games?

The stick, it has hand guards!

While I agree, I do think that that is a small minority at this point. I just broke into the workforce after college 5ish years ago and I never had this mentality. All of my coworkers around my age are the same, we know the company is only loyal if it’s beneficial for the company. Some younger people in the workforce have these pied eyed romanticized ideas, but most of us have seen too many examples like this and are just jaded. I assume every facet of my interaction with society is someone trying to exploit me somehow, because that’s almost always the case. I started feeling this way around 11th grade because the education system is in such a bullshit state, and college verified my thoughts with data. By the time I hit career age I knew it’s fuck or be fucked out there and loyalty is only for family/friends. I am in a STEM field, science not tech, for reference.

Yeah strongly agree on companies just using AI as a buzzword to make investors excited. Tech companies that aren’t throwing AI in things have a higher chance of their stock price stagnating

They may have not implemented it yet. I see a lot of things reported that they are still testing.
