I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Join a lobby. Start a lobby. It’s not just tech Bros that can do this. Anyone can and should lobby for what they want. The difference between you and a tech bro millionaire is that they are organized.
I took the headline to mean the critics of the law were saying they don’t want teachers to be allowed to have cell phones on the job. I wonder if a lot of the commenters here took it the exact opposite way (teachers and students should be allowed to have cell phones, rather than teachers and students should both be banned from having cell phones in schools).
I think that may be where the crisscross is.
You’re asking a bunch of people with different backgrounds and social norms (and neurodivergences) to answer your questions. You got an answer that is pretty factually correct, backed by reliable sources and your main arguments against it are:
These reactions did make it seem like you were going to disregard this information regardless of what lip service you paid to the people who said don’t disregard it.
While I can appreciate that the answer didn’t start off diplomatic, the bulk of it is factually correct and actually pretty well represented.
If you are ever in a room asking questions and you only receive diplomatic answers you can be pretty positive you aren’t getting the full scope of facts or opinions.
This would be easier than banning VPNs wholesale.
“Designed to prevent bypassing age checks by people who don’t understand the technology they are trying to regulate” more at 11.
Legislators should be required to understand technology or consult experts in the field before they enact legislation. This is a waste of tax payer dollars and I’m not even sure it’s enforceable.
I just wanted to make sure I understood the context. At first glance I had no idea what was going on. A ferry was the only thing I could think of that made sense.
Is this for a ferry ride?
If my tax dollars are paying for it then I deserve to see it. This is public. I don’t have a choice but to be surveilled so they shouldn’t have a choice but to make it public.
That’s specifically why I said something.
No offense meant but I don’t have a Bluesky and I don’t go there. I also have no idea if I’m supposed to have seen this video and so on.
The baseline of the joke is basically “tech oligarchs are aliens or machines” which is a well known and kind of playe out joke that has been made repeatedly at the expense of literally almost every tech oligarch who’s heading a tech company today. Sam Altman, Elon Musk, Sataya Nadela, Sundar Pichai, and Mark Zuckerberg have basically all had this joke made about them especially in regards to how they schill AI.
Even if it’s not a self insert it follows the same basic premise of saying something we all agree with as the punchline. I don’t consider the HAL or Mr burns reference to be particularly funny but I’m not trying to trash talk this comic or the other one (which I also didn’t find particularly funny).
I’m just pointing out the difference in reaction and also wondering if this is a holdover from the comics community where people read an opinion they agreed with and then regurgitated it over here.
Much though I like the anti-ai community, I am willing to admit that something like this comic and the other one normally would do numbers with its users and not receive a lot in the way of backlash or open dislike except by trolls who frequent the community to start arguments.
Who is the purple guy supposed to be?
Funny to me that the pizza cake comic got so much random dislike for “just having a caricature of a person as the punchline” but this also exists on the community and is basically the same thing.
There is a distinct possibility that when people like the guy you were talking to “retire” or get forced out, these corps will hire you (a person without the degree but with the passion to do the job). In pretty much all cases you should assume that they will be taking advantage of you in any way they can, including by looking to use your much cheaper labor to fill the holes the other guy left when they retired.
They will pay you a fraction of what they paid him regardless of your skill. They will avoid any and all training so they don’t have to increase your pay. They will try to force you to use AI rather than building skills you will need to progress in a career like this. And when you give pushback they will force you out either by outright firing you or by making things so miserable you abandon your job. They will continue to do this to anyone they can get on the hook. Probably even after the bubble pops (using local models instead). They don’t want knowlegable humans because those people can ask for what they want and will advocate for it. Those people know what they are worth. They want patsies.
When I said “got tired” I meant Israel got tired, not you, op. Sorry for the confusion.
Your feelings on the matter are valid.
Got tired of Iran using AI to win the propaganda war, did they?
I’m glad someone found it comforting.
They don’t think. They know. They have carefully weighed the likeliness of repercussions vs to the profit to be made from doing it anyway. They have also weighed how likely it is they will face legal action and what the legal action will cost them. They have also also stacked the deck against the common user and any legislators that might want to hold them accountable through lobbying and other forms of coercion or bribery.
This is a well calculated “risk” vs reward for them.
Oh wow. You’re upset that a volcanologist doesn’t have acting skills but is trying to use a medium that’s popular to impart information and generally fight misinformation? Cool. Have a nice life.
I understand but like. It would be the same as naming a documentary about password over dependency “Swordfish”.
I think my first might have been alta vista.
