I see you've mastered talking to people who talk to LLMs. That's even harder than doing prompt engineering alone, my hat is off.

Stop, I can only get so erect.

The only slashdot interface which is not hopelessly broken is classic on desktop

"Heard about the Amazon Warehouses in Canada? Full of Indian Workers!"

Telling us we have to work while sending all the work to other countries so more profit can be made to get even more control is just a predictable step on the path to fascism, as it breeds desperation. It helps to own a newspaper you can use to tell people it's raining while you piss on them.

Are the good tech companies in the room with us? Why don't you name some for us?

It takes an expert to change voice filters? You must worship sysadmins.

This isn't really news. It has been proven time and time again that hetero-female hypergamy and hetero-male patrimony exist and have real reproducable effects across cultures. It is instinctively understood by humans cross culturally that young healthy fertile women are the most valueable individual humans and that men need to be "managed" by society and civilisation in order to "exploit" them to build and maintain a culture. This is why women get more lenience when they commit crimes and this is why men are forced to use money or other indirect metrics like of value such as military or academic rank to gain a place in society. If those metrics no longer carry, men stear clear because "useless" (see contemporary US academia for details on that effect). People in currency-bound civilisations know that a man who's made himself decently useful "needs" more money than a woman to make his efforts worth while for him to establish his place in society. If we guys want lad(y/ies) _and_ offspring, kitesurfing and motorbiking all day won't really cut it for most of us if we can't establish a source of excess resources to offer up to the ladies.

This is also an evolutionary mechanism to keep men in check. If that doesn't happen, you get men organizing themselves and turning away and and eventually against society. Fascism is basically nothing other than the hetero-male tribe instinct going into survival-mode. If you don't want 15%+ of grown men going that route and _literally_ leveling the playing field for a hard "society reboot" you have to pay them and give them (a chance with) women and reproduction. ... Or sedate them with videogames and internet-porn, as the case may be. The latter will likely only work for so long. QED.

Is it just me or is a doctor who can't figure out how to turn off an audio setting scary? What happens if his shoe becomes untied on the way to the operating theater? Does he call tech support?

That might be true, except everyone who has been paying attention knows that all they have to do is buy enough Trumpcoins and the problem will dry up and blow away without fanfare.

Or we could point to the confounding factors they obviously did not address in the study, say "this study is trash no one should ever refer to or even read" and move on. You don't necessarily need a new study to invalidate a study, and this is one of those cases where you don't.

It's too bad you don't know dick about luddites.

"Leaving aside the fact that you don't know the difference between an LLM and a frontier AI model"

One thing is a subset of the other. That was a weird attempt, and it failed.

We didn't used to carry telescreens in our pockets, so that's different.

Before streaming it wasn't feasible to deliver different media to different viewers, either. They all got the same things from the same channels.

TBF the stupid Nazis have been around. They were just a little quieter most of the time, except when they were burning a cross, or dragging someone behind a pickup.

Maybe they can get compilers for some more architectures first
