Ban the future! That will certainly work well for them.

A majority of humans will be replaced by AI and/or robots. Just delaying the inevitable.  Kind of like Blockbuster before Netflix replaced it

Dammit, I really thought Dick Cheney had the mantle but I guess he’ll have to wait until Kissinger dies.

Democracy? True democracy died when the whole government started getting bribes from corporations and made it legal: they have had no reason to listen to the working class, and expect everyone to just be barely-functioning workers in debt, while popping out more workers in debt - hence the abortion ban.

ChatGPT’s…

This is pure ignorance and elitism. AI art generators and other AI assisted creation tools don’t “remove the human element”; what they do is allow less-able humans to create art through descriptive writing (a skill in itself) in place of manual dexterity and artistic talent.

He really is a right piece of shit monster

Please, I don’t want this to look like an offense to the author or to any of the people working at Gizmodo, but seriously, fuck Henry Kissinger.

You think that publishers are going to keep paying people to make the art if they can pay one person to run a few different AI’s to do it all?

You really are a fucking brainwashed idiot if you think being a NIMBY is just on the liberal side. You cons are just as bad.

More liberal hypocrisy! you all are fine with these gigantic strip mines overseas in the “poor” countries where it won’t impact you all (and by the way where they have zero environmental laws and still use forced labor - much of it child labor). But lord forbid they open one up in your backyard! As long as those kids…

“Surely this iteration of beanie babies will have staying power!”

You should go look up the history of unions in America and how and why they got started. Like seriously do it, its an absolutely wild ride and you will struggle to believe half of what you read/watch is true. Everything good you have as a working class American is due to the history of unionisation.

Yeah, it’s easier to yell at a kid running a cash register than your boss.

They will be provided 60 days severance, though that won’t cover the length of many people’s contracts, sources said

If someone is trying to give you a compliment and you take it as an insult, that’s at least partly your fault.

How about suck up a compliment and learn not to be so damn offended all the time.

Can we also have an article for people to learn how to TAKE a compliment?

oh ffs

Merit-based awards have mostly never existed. It never comes down to work done, it mostly comes down to if those above you like you. If they like you, they are willing to ignore performance aspects for tribal aspects.
