When AIs stop ‘hallucinating’ wildly incorrect answers to the questions they’re given, then — and only then — will they be a suitable replacement for *INFORMATION SERVICES*.

I think the question is whether they’re made aware of the toxic minefield they’re about to step into...for a paycheck that will never be worth the level harassment (or worse) they’ll spend years, if not decades receiving.

Yup. Unity’s management fiasco has turned the page on ‘profitability’ and has shifted into the final stage of capitalism — butchering the company carcass and selling off the remains to extract whatever value remains for the shareholders and execs. F*** everyone else. Especially the employees.

For DOD payloads? It’s highly doubtful they’ll use any provider that’s not based in and operates out of the US.

Yup. I mean, it’s great that they’ve finally finished Vulcan and all that, but it was obsolete from the moment it came off the drawing board. Rockets that are only fully expendable have no place in the new launch industry. That’s just an immutable economic fact. The only reason Vulcan is launching at all is because…

Yeah! He rode his golden parachute ... to another company where he will almost certainly continue doing all the same shitty things, to the business, to its customers, to the employees, etc, and get richly rewarded for it! That’ll definitely show him the error of his ways!

It’s just publishers setting up an epic rugpull — one they’ve been dreaming about for decades. Once digital sales and streaming have completely replaced physical sales, they will have achieved full control over all products sold *after* they’ve been sold. They can unilaterally decide to remove access to any title at…

Pearl-clutching assclowns ruin everything. And it didn’t start with the internet.

Who could have possibly predicted that arrogant, ignorant leadership obsessed with inflating profit margins at any cost makes for genuinely shitty leadership! I mean, capitalism is all about amassing capital, so why isn’t it working? It couldn’t possibly be that the fundamental driving force of capitalism itself is…

Streaming services were already going to do that regardless. This just accelerated the timetable by a tiny bit. Ads are a revenue source. They generate profit. So it’s going to be exploited. Capitalism allows for no other possible outcome. But at least the people who are actually responsible for producing the content…

“If we were looking proactively for pathogens before they caused disease, we could better anticipate local outbreaks,” Brooks said.

I would never have connected the two films together in that way, but you’re absolutely right. Ocean’s 11 does indeed throw a bunch of characters at the audience in rapid-fire sequence almost from the start. But at no point in that sequence does any of it feel forced or arbitrary, nor does it ever feel boring. It’s…

What you’re missing is how the streaming industry disrupted the enshitification process of broadcast and cable providers. If you think broadcast and cable providers wouldn’t be even *worse* now if not for streaming services, you clearly weren’t paying attention to their downward spirals.

Funny. Rebel Galaxy didn’t have the problem of boring interplanetary travel. The developers created plenty of *procedural* ways to add points of interest throughout multiple solar systems. And they did it on a shoestring budget too. Strange how, if you make features a priority, you can find ways to make them work...

Never forget — when the government that’s supposed to represent *YOU* continually and predictably sells out to corporate interests at nearly every turn, unions are the only groups you have left to represent *YOUR* interests large enough and powerful enough to actually affect meaningful change to your benefit.

I don’t think they’ll all choose that path (certainly at least one of them didn’t, or this article wouldn’t have a case example to talk up), but I’d wager enough of them will that the efforts of the few who don’t will be rendered moot...which will, most likely, drag those few along to keep cutthroat, underhanded…

Except this is capitalism, and profit in the now always trumps debt incurred by someone else later. Which is, well, the problem. Capitalism is the cause of a huge swath of serious issues in the modern world and an active impediment towards fixing those problems too. Because ‘fixing’ problems costs money that isn’t…

We should stop glorifying stupid, disgusting, dangerous behaviors...and we should stop making excuses for pretending that doing it is okay.

The falsity of this idea of it being a super intelligence that decides to get rid of humanity is that it *requires* a super intelligence to make that decision. Regular ol’ sociopathic billionaires with legions of AI-powered ‘smart’ combat drones and a twisted notion of how to ‘save’ the planet from climate change is…

Snyder is showing the world that there’s a flipside to the old saying, “If at first you don’t succeed, try again.” Because sometimes your failures are flashing neon signs that you’re terrible at something and you should just stop trying altogether. Yes, success really can be a fluke. Snyder’s past success are proof of…
