I get Intel getting out of some lines of business but they should just sell those lines of business rather than slash staff and then hold on to a completely dead product.

And you can't keep cutting. You won't be able to compete with AMD. They're already getting their asses kicked in the data center. If this keeps up the oems will be next. And the enthusiast market isn't big enough to sustain a company like Intel.

Never mind that there are gpus are supposed to be pretty good now but you can't get one for less than $400 unless you're buying it from a weird Chinese brand and even then you're paying $50 to $70 over MSRP. But I'm hesitant to buy one even an MSRP because I don't know if I'm going to have driver support in a year.

I've got mixed feelings about the high price point. On the one hand I know that these companies make plenty of money without the high price point and are just soaking their fans.

On the other hand if you have a game people are going to be playing for years to come then it's not like $80 is a lot of money. If I'm going to put 50 or 60 hours into your game and enjoy it without it feeling like it's padded then I'm probably coming out okay. Although I still would be feeling a lot better if the game was $60. Once you get over about a dollar an hour of solid gameplay it's starts to rub me the wrong way.

It doesn't help it like most modern gamers I have a large backlog of less expensive games to play.

Salaried workers anywhere in the United States.

If your company allows that it's because it's a benefit not because it's a legal requirement. They can take that benefit away without notice in most cases.

Amazon is a notoriously bad company to work for so I have no doubt in my mind that any employee on salary will be doing that work for free. While also working 60 to 70 hours a week on whatever their main project is.

For a lot of games and there's an entire world of people out there still gaming on the PS3. There's a guy who runs a YouTube channel who goes around asking them why they still game on PS3. It's usually just that it's Dads that occasionally get to play a little bit and don't see the point of upgrading since they only play every couple of weeks for maybe a half hour 45 minutes

So in AI is basically a really really really really fancy search engine that puts together bits of information is found during the search.

So yeah it is possible but a lot of these are hallucinations but I'd still bet money that a lot of them come from real Court filings.

But you know you're probably right, lawyers are far too honest to put made up citations in there briefings right?

Oh my God, you're serious? Let me laugh even harder.

For the record if you are a salaried employee they can make you work as much as they want for the same pay and your only recourse is to quit. And if you are a high enough level employee and try to go work for a competitor because they're in the same field here in expect a lawsuit. Sure the lawsuit might not be enforceable but have fun battling it out in court.

We gave up on labor law around the time we got obsessed with trans girls in bathrooms and the word woke. Didn't seem like a fair trade to me at the time but what the hell do I know?

Why do AIs keep putting fake citations into cases they generate? An AI just regurgitates what it finds in its data set after all...

The AI should be smart enough to know what a citation is and it probably is. So it probably knows what it can cite and what it can't.

So if you haven't figured out where I'm going with this it's that there are probably a shitload of cases that have fake citations in them that have never been caught.

The AI is probably getting caught because it's picking up too many fakes citations because people are telling the AIs to find something that justifies what they want to do and then the AI finds it and puts it in the brief.

So I wouldn't be surprised in the least if you could take the data set used to train the AI here and then find the original documents and find a actual court case with fake citations in it.

One of my favorite things is when Republican operatives are posting with their alt accounts on Twitter and Facebook with things like "as a black woman I love Donald Trump" and they forget to switch to their alt so there's a 70-year-old white dude making the post.

I see a couple of them pop up in my feed every month with people making fun of them. Doesn't stop them from doing it but it's still hilarious.

There's a guy named George Santos in jail right now because he fucked with the money. He went to Mitch McConnell's money people and tried to trick them into giving him money. He fucked with the money and now he's in jail.

You can rip off as many little old ladies as you want you can kill as many campers in Texas as you want you can burn down the entire state of Utah if you want but you do not fuck with the money.

Also like any good mob you're only as good as your last envelope.

I didn't think AI could use crayons...



It's funny because the people responsible for keeping all of us alive are completely incompetent Yes Men...

Musk is a corporatist desperately trying to become the first trillionaire. That's the only thing you need to know about him. It also means he is eventually going to extract all the value from the companies he owns. When he does that those companies will collapse. So if you invest in any of his companies you need to be very very careful.

Before musk took it over and turned it into a 24/7 Nazi party there was a ton of really really good journalism being done through Twitter. I know it doesn't sound like it and you wouldn't know about it unless you were looking for it but tons of journalists used it to do real time updates on site.

And I mean actual journalists who followed good journalistic practices and didn't just clickbait. Naturally they would never show up in your feed because well, good journalism doesn't do clickbait and clickbait doesn't show up in feeds. But a lot of the better YouTube channels I subscribe to would use Twitter journalists for sources.

Musk immediately chased them off the platform. I don't mean that the presence of the Nazis chased them off I mean musk actively banned them. They did have a bad habit of reporting on some of the nastier things musk did though. Same with the Republican party and the American right wing and corporations in general.
br As stupid as it sounds we lost a pretty big resource for real and good journalism when musk took over Twitter and that wasn't an accident. Just because you didn't know it was there doesn't mean you didn't see the effects. The data would eventually make it back around into a lot of people's feeds with clickbait headlines. And a lot of good information just doesn't get out there anymore now.

Jesus Christ are you with that stupid? There are doctors who do exactly that. Lots of them. The problem is that legally every single one of them is committing a federal crime. They're taking great personal risk because they have seen the detriment works. And doctors like to treat people.

Problem isn't finding a doctor problem is that you never know if the government is going to raid them and then hunt down their patients.

Are you a christian? Because you're not behaving like one.

No but that's a incredibly stupid example of Godwin's law so... Also the worst bait I've seen all week. Couldn't you do any better? Maybe mix in some of Natalie Portman's Hot grits?

But the vast majority of us will be stuffed on reservations like the Indians were but without the casinos. Intense bitter poverty.
