5·19 hours agoThis isn’t even about competency really as the cost of AI is being artificially depressed through all of these businesses running at a loss. It might be insane to stick in a blender with US labor statistics. Hopefully not the kind the WH uses?
There are a lot of different things falling under the umbrella of AI. You’re right to be skeptical of an algorithm’s ability to estimate another algorithm’s ability in practice. They’re testing how well the buzzword tech can move the needle on numbers the fed obsesses over. Really pigeonholing the tech into profitability. Best uses of this tech will be in balancing electricity flows through the country, with inputs including population + industry usage, weather patterns & other renewable energy variables (these are very much a social good but you can already hear capital hissing at the thought). Humans already operate many cybernetic systems that turn on volition, with inputs adjusted to make them exploitative. Streamlining them is going to rip the balls right off for sure. As I often quote Michael Parenti by recently, “You’re stupid if you think they’re stupid,” it goes nicely with “the purpose of a system is what it does.”

2·20 hours agoI’m sure there is plenty of chaff to cut in finance and healthcare etcetera, in my heart I want to believe in a coming Burger Decimation, but US labor statistics are absolutely cooked. Having read practically nothing about the model they’re using, I would appreciate if anyone can tell how accurate it is.

Google@lemdro.id•Google doesn't want to be held responsible for OS-level age assuranceEnglish
1·2 days agoYeah, it’s something that made me think of the age of the operating system itself, since that’s been a discussion recently with Motorola.
To get imaginative, in a mode pf production beyond capitalism, though, I think the device level age locking would be pretty sick. I get that a lot of people had what they consider helpful formative experiences on the internet, but hearing about them, I think they are just nostalgic and those experiences weren’t as valuable as they imagined.
Many will disagree with me because they haven’t considered this is the only way to let adults play counter-strike without the damn kids in the way.
Yeah, I think it is pretty enlightening that Westerners reply with jokes and GIFs when the subject shifts from wage and rent stabilization to land reform. I guess you haven’t really got the marks 'o capital all over your body like you once thought.
Not beating the “talks like a pedophile” accusations by throwing the roleplay-speak into the pot. Do you have any substantive critiques or are you purely tone policing because you have nothing to add whatsoever? Which is, by the way, what I just directed back at you, tone policing, because you added absolutely nothing.

Wild Feed@sh.itjust.works•How Japan’s hypersonic railgun could deter China’s naval ambitionsEnglish
14·2 days agoDo you seriously think that anybody is going to invade Japan? You’re completely missing my point about the rail guns. They’re not even going to play a part in war with China. Japan knows this
Is talking like a pedophile to me supposed to prove something?

17·2 days agoFascism is when the United States bankrolls fascists, and scoops up all of their loot after the war. It seems like you’re unclear why the US is even allied with Japan in the first place. Is that how you think the world works: countries like each other, they love each other, they want to protect each other against the bad countries? I must be such a fun view of the world. Have you ever seen that Team Fortress 2 short where we get to experience the Pyro’s worldview?

Okay, feel free to ignore it then. I know some people who would love to hang out with you and talk about how Marx said the American Revolution was based.

Apple@lemdro.id•Retail chain accidentally sold iPad Airs for $17 – and wants them backEnglish
22·2 days agoHell, Chinese retailers would send me a notification about this $17 iPad to refund me $0.30 because the price dropped. They need to get with the times. Nobody even uses pads other than Twitter addicts, babies, and old people.
What happened to Soviet and Cuban property law prior to workers en masse gaining the ability to buy a vacation home for their family? Do you think that the US land system can just be loosened up to allow poors into it? That goes contrary to its pricing through scarcity…
Well, if you’re not interested in land reform in the United States, then how exactly are you going to deal with the homeless problem? Are you just going to mimic Christian charity? Are you going to bring them jars of peanut butter from your parents pantry?









The idea the Graphene devs are toxic doesn’t hold up to scrutiny. People just don’t respond well to their critiques and think a media dogpile will be less energy.
