"Crisis" because we don't have enough nurses for everyone to have one in their home? Because we might have to cut back on senseless make-work bullshit? Because we might have to remove the Social Security contribution cap (or do the local equivalent elsewhere) and actually expect the people profiting from society to pay for its maintenance?

Demographic decline is not the crisis. It's having an economic system dependent on endless growth because there's no other way to satisfy the boundless greed of the Epstein class.

Probably.

That's what I meant, too.

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.

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.
