it's really something isn't it? a modest ranch home? burgers on the grill on sunday? maybe drive down to the grand canyon with the kids this summer for a few days? you can't have that. so they can have everything

of COURSE he assumed she was asking whether credit card companies are in peril. of course he did.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

BREAM: The Journal says percentage of delinquent credit card balances is 13%, the highest in 15 years. People are using them for necessities. Your message to them? HASSETT: We talk to CEOs of the credit card companies all the time, and there's not any threat to them. People are taking a bit longer.

This is rage bait but 1 of the most eye-opening things I’ve learned from leaping up a few tax brackets due to luck is HOW MUCH MONEY there is at the top. Straight up unfathomable. Way, way, WAY more than you think! California can afford ANYTHING. YOUR govt can afford ANYTHING. Demand it all!

Californians get free diapers. But at what cost?

Learning that the epic crowd work guy’s parents are a private equity guy and a woman who dated Jeff Epstein before watching the video really makes this hit different

YOU are not automating those tasks, in most cases. You are begging computer to automate those tasks. A computer you RENT access to and therefore are outsourcing your new “skills” to, skills that could disappear with a platform price increase or outage. Deskilling is absolutely happening.

Yeah, if you worked at Palantir, it’s a reflection on your character 100%. Similarly (this one goes out to the latest TrueAnon guest) if you worked at ScaleAI as a true believer, you have no moral authority to write a book called “Abolish Silicon Valley”. You’re either evil or stupid!

Ben Collins@bencollins.bsky.social

In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.

That whole Palantir thing makes more sense when you position it as marketing to business elites, all of whom are stewing in the same rotten information environment that Palantir is

My yolk lamp for my Sunny Side table is really coming along (a small break from the horrors of the world for some goofy decor)

Maybe the Bluesky engineering team should stop bragging about how heavily they rely on AI coding when their app is this broken. Embarrassing stuff guys, your dashboards must look crazy with reply load times! Hope you can message Claude “pls fix” ❤️

the CIA posts stuff like this so you can feel like you're part of the ruling class by purchasing a pair of $150 loafers off eBay instead of asking for affordable housing, free healthcare, and better working conditions

It’s the future, it’s inevitable, just accept it, it’s the way we will all be working very soon and there is no point in trying to oh wait it sucks, no one asked for it or wants it, and it’s shutting down forever.

as a culture we have really given "ideas" way too much credit. ideas are a dime a dozen. they happen all the time. the magic is way more in the doing, and the doing's diminished stature is linked to lack of respect for labor and, more recently, skill and expertise.

republicans are in charge of everything and they are getting everything theyve ever wanted and doing everything theyve ever wanted and the world is on fire and the global world order is collapsing. is there a correlation? who can say

That’s because it’s not about the worker’s productivity. Having to “correct” the AI is training it to do your job. Every one of these Amazon employees is at best operating an excavator to dig their own professional grave.

Tim Newman@tnewmsblues.bsky.social

"More than a half a dozen current and former Amazon corporate employees... told the Guardian that Amazon is pressing employees to integrate AI across all aspects of their work, even though these workers say this push is hurting productivity." www.theguardian.com/technology/n...

I give up, Claude is conscious. Ergo AI developers must face imprisonment or execution for performing medical experiments on their living slave.

Stephan Geering@stephangeering.bsky.social

Challenge for those who are very confident that Claude isn't conscious: Explain how human consciousness works.

like the answer is: it’s a computer dude. you know human consciousness and computer are not compatible. don’t play dumb with me

who told these people they could come on here and assign essay questions to people like this? go talk to your computer boyfriend and leave the rest of us alone

Florida just cut off HIV meds for 16,000 people.

Jesspooka Kant 🎃@jessdkant.bsky.social

Unbelievable that we still talk about withholding HIV funding as a form of political maneuvering rather than an act of social murder, as if the 80’s + 90’s never happened and we didn’t lose an entire generation to this already.
