I thought AI was going to create more jobs?

They lied. Go figure.

You have to claim that your new technology is going to create eleventy gazillion new jobs, otherwise nobody will buy into your bullshit.

To be fair, that strategy works on tons of people. Some will even aggressively oppose anybody that points out facts. Was nicely observable here as well.

When everyone was talking about AI gutting jobs, is it safe to say that future is now here?

I don't think so. LLM-type AI with cheap mainstream availability may well be a very temporary thing. First, they still do not have any business model that would even remotely justify the expenses. Second, LLMs cannot perform on professional level and cannot perform any task that requires insight. Third, the training-data piracy mau well kill the whole thing. Hence some niche applications for small special-purpose LLMs may remain, but that will likely be it.

On the other hand, some types of jobs may still get "gutted", even with that limited usefulness.

Tell me again about how it's 100% about race.

It's 100% about race. Did the shooters bother to check the religion of any of the individuals there first? No? Well then it's not about fucking religion.

You're focused on this incident,

Oh yeah this is a completely isolated incident and no one else in history has ever decided to have a crack at the Jews regardless of whether any of the individual Jews they are targeting are actually are religious or not.

A significant number of Jews insist that their ethnicity and their faith cannot be separated which is only true to the extent that some of their sects refuse to consider you to be a Jew unless your mother is a certified Jew

Ah yes just what I needed today: some asshat trying to explain the Jews to a Jew. Your ill thought out, half baked explanations don't cut it, frankly.

I can't be arsed to explain why you're completely full of shit and that's fine because I very much doubt you'd have any intention of listening.

Comment Re:94% of Trump's cases lose in lower courts (Score 1) 92

And 94% of them are overturned in favor of Trump when they get to the Supreme court, usually on the shadow docket with absolutely no reason given. The system of checks and balances designed to protect you have failed. All of them.

The lower courts getting overturned by a higher court is part of that system of checks and balances. Many people think it's the lower courts that are failing.

Many of the lower court decisions seem pretty solid, reasonable and thought-out, but SCOTUS, especially Justices Alito and Thomas, is seemingly just making stuff up, or misinterpreting things from Medieval England, to support their agendas.

Alito's Roe attack betrays a medieval ignorance of ancient history
Google: alito medieval england roe

Many of their rulings that specifically favored Trump seem like stretches, like the near-total immunity for the President and limiting the application of the insurrection clause for presidential candidates. It'll be interesting to see how they re-interpret things when a Democrat is in the office - I'm guessing 3-6 will then see things differently.

Many Jews literally insist upon this confusion. If you attack the Jewish faith, they insist you are attacking the Jewish people. This is especially true of Zionists

Just please fuck all the way off and take your shit with you as you go.

Did those murderous arseholes in Australia this morning bother to check whether any individual jews they were shooting were observant or flat out atheists? No.

It is absolutely 100% about race.

That's gotta really torque Trump off. :-)

"It's more symbolic than substantive," he said. "All the court is saying is ... you need to go back to work and consider these applications. What does that really mean?" he said. Officials could still deny permits or bog applications down in lengthy reviews, he noted.

Sure, but companies only have to wait 3 more years ...

It's not great but considering where they started from, and the progress they have made, they deserve some credit.

Yeah but have they though?

Compare 2000 to now:

Germany: 573, 344, 60%
UK: 522, 211, 40%
Spain: 471, 146, 31%
Italy: 502, 288, 57%
France: 80, 44, 55%

Out of the top 5 Western European economies, they've had the smallest reduction in CO2 for electricity generation. So where they are now is not very good and their progress is not very good either. Ever other one of the top 5 there has done a better job in reducing carbon emissions.

I don't get the praise, frankly? Why not lavish it on the UK or France instead?

Ironic that they chose this image as if their work compares, at least in effort and danger, to the iron workers building skyscrapers in the original b/w photo: Lunch atop a Skyscraper. None of those "AI Architects" would ever have lunch there.

if you're an internet platform you get treated one way; you do the exact same thing and you're a publisher, you get treated a completely different way.

This is a false comparison. ISPs generally don't (get to) pick their customers and don't select, edit, and curate those customers content, publishers do both. Publishers have a direct hand in who and what gets published and when, ISP generally don't. Granted, ISPs could be (more) selective in who they signup, like publishers, but that would be hugely labor-intensive and not cost effective given the scale of ISP customers vs. publishers. Even then ISP wouldn't (generally) get involved in their customer's content - as that would get them into trouble under Section 230 (if I understand things correctly). All subject to Terms and Conditions, your mileage may vary, etc ...
