These same people don't know what a file system is..
When was the last time GenZ filed something? As in physically?
Do companies even use file cabinets anymore?
The only thing more annoying than generalizing about the intelligence and capacity of an entire generation, is finding the ignorant elders forgetting HOW you learned the concepts. Mechanics use far more than a fucking theory to teach how a socket wrench works. Maybe IT should remember that.
So who gets your money doesn't depend on which product is better, it depends on who gets up in your face and convinces you to spend your bucks at their fine establishment first. People can't spend more than they make, including their credit lines, there is a finite amount of consumer $$ to spend. If you spend more on your car, you have less for your vacation. This doesn't increase the total dollars spent, it just gets you to spend at MY fine establishment. Now you're out of dollars to spend anywhere else.
Greed won’t mind paying consumers more and more. Because they’ll be brainwashed to do one thing with all that money. Spend it.
Look what a global pandemic did FOR Capitalism.
whatever promises come from the "tech industry", in the end they devolve into only one thing - peddling crap.
A worthy use for "AI", at least.
Worthy? That’s premature talk. If you think human marketeers can be annoying insufferable narcissistic cunts, just imagine how “good” AI will be at that job. 24 hours a day.
The worst part is humans won’t even be able to tell what is a scam anymore. AI will get really good at bullshitting for profit, and humans are dumb enough to keep Nigerian “Princes” wealthy.
I will not disagree that the initial claims from DOGE were quite outlandish when it comes to savings.
That said, why don’t you tell me just how long you think it should take to execute a reasonable audit on a blatantly corrupt entity that has literally never been audited (as in the Federal Reserve). America simply sat back and accepted the fact that lawmakers in Congress consider Insider Trading a fucking job perk. Can’t get much more corruptly blatant than that without involving a dishonorably discharged cokehead working for a Ukrainian energy company on behalf of President Big Guy.
See, that’s what kills me about people arguing against DOGE. It’s not the attacks against DOGE savings claims and targeting bullshit semantics. It’s the entire idiotic idea of attacking DOGE and blaming it for ineffectiveness as if the fucking status quo justifies that defense.
Do you think of DOGE goes away it will ever return under any political party? I’d be curious as to how you’d run a government audit the “right” way and somehow not find billions in waste and tens of thousands of pointless workers. Oddly enough I have a feeling the media would be fully accepting of DOGE and every bullshit claim they made if it were being run by Democrats. Says even more about the blatant corruption.
Let me ask you something. What part of Elon Musks life and daily schedule screams to you “I’m bored and have nothing better to do with my time other than steal government data captured illegally it because I’m so broke”?
The entire fucking point of DOGE is to reduce government waste. And when I can’t even get through TFS without reading how the government was forced to use “secretive groups” to purchase mass surveillance data, it tends to scream ILLEGAL. As in WHY in the fuck am I paying for that shit as a taxpayer.
So yeah, DOGE has a job to do. Combine databases to reduce the obvious bloat required to maintain them separately, while also determining how much of that activity should continue. Or perhaps should have never existed in the first place.
Enough of the batshit delusional theories about data mining for profit. Yes. They are delusional until you can prove them beyond bullshit clickbait.
I hate to be the one defending AIs, but these things aren't made to predict basically random events. Anyone who tries to use AIs as gambling assistants is monumentally dumb, even dumber than the AIs.
If a gambling system has been legalized because of the design elements that give the player a 1% better chance of winning over the house, don’t assume it’s going to be anything other than the machine that excels at winning consistently.
To these who will say that a horse race isn't random, the AI as a basically statistical machine has no way of knowing the real factors which determine the race's outcome.
You mean the statistical machine won’t use statistics to predict a winner more accurately? Odd, because that’s how everyone else gains an advantage. Does AI even know HOW to gamble? Serious question.
AI is wonderful, AI is powerful, AI should be everywhere, in everything, all the time.
Lets see how well it will excel at leading a Gamblers Anonymous meeting then.
Obvious shitty problem, is obvious.
If a significant political figure holds that warped value so strongly, it is significant.
History also holds plenty of significant evidence of the Disease of Greed that has plagued the human race for thousands of years.
Rome was pretty hell-bent on warped values too. They fell so damn hard they epitomized failure. I wonder how many other empires have fallen because their gold was plundered? I wonder how many are yet to fall over the same overpriced bullshit dipped in 24k delusion.
Limit gold to an industrial commodity and see where the price falls.
Trumptardians will announce a space force to capture the neutron star, extract the gold and be bigly rich.
Leave it to TDS to highlight the ignorance of assuming politics has fuck-all to do with the timeless phenomenon of warped value with regards to gold.
Imagine the real value of gold per ounce if we humans weren’t so addicted with turning it into money, wearing it as a status symbol, and treating it like The Precious. I’m sure those forced to mine conflict diamonds have an idea of how far removed reality is from retail.
Google is releasing a product intended for children?
Given history, I’m looking forward to Johnny Long #5 at DEFCON showing us how this product isn’t for children anymore.
isn't that extortion? when the one with the power offers to make bad thing go away for a price, the reverse would be bribery where if google offers to pay a bribe to keep their racket intact
I believe we have an official job and title for that activity that makes all of it quite legal, and without such negative terminology.
They’re called Fucking Politicians. We used to call them Representatives back when we liked to pretend they represented The People. But it’s quite clear who lawmakers represent today. And who is paying them.
Surprised? Don’t be. These are the same arrogant cunts who believe Insider Trading is a fucking job perk.
The last time a tech behemoth was found guilty and remedies were contemplated, the Bush administration turned it into a slap on the wrist for MIcrosoft.
Somehow I think this time DOGE will fire the enforcers before they can enforce what needs enforcing,
Name the last mega-corp that didn’t pre-buy their wrist slaps with lawmakers, and I’ll believe there’s something to see here.
Doing illegal shit, is an actual risk to everyone else. For those who buy and make the laws via politics, it’s merely a cost of doing business.
Look at the last anti-trust suggestion. Divest Chrome? Give me a break. Politically-infused jokes, always smell the same. Besides, watching Google “comply” with anti-trust via some loophole expanding tax laundering operations through Ireland would only reinforce how untouchable a mega-corp really is.
A vocal group of parents are the ones that insist their kid needs access to their cell phone at all hours of the day. School administrators are afraid of them.
School “administrators” should be proud of their non-accomplishments. 50 years ago that same administrator was being asked by the fucking parent why they didn’t beat some ass when a child disrupted their classroom.
What changed? The need for a classroom didn’t. The need for an education didn’t. And exactly zero toddlers left a classroom struggling with the “trauma” of punishment when earned. Unlike today.
School administrators should have been more afraid of what happens when you spare the rod and create an endless amount of spoiled disrespectful little shits that grow up, fuck, and and pretend to “parent” the next generation of even-worse.
how would a calculator make them not be a teacher, at least in US teacher salaries seem indicate being a teacher is a financial pitfall.
It was more a point about educators admonishing a reliance on technology while being personally ignorant to the benefits of it. Plenty of six-figure educators are still fiscally ignorant. It’s amazing how much a calculator can help avoid avoidable pitfalls.
what I'm saying is every aspect of your life is manipulated by the Republican party to your detriment and it never occurs you to question that because they own the media thanks to Ronald Reagan and frankly Bill Clinton too.
Do you honestly believe a Republican “owned” media would have tolerated and allowed shit like Russiagate to fester? Or allowed Hunter Biden to become a non-topic of discussion during an election? Or helped hide Joe Bidens dementia and Kamala Harris’ incompetence? Give me a fucking break. The mainstream media is corruptly liberal. Other than Fox News, you probably cannot even name another mainstream conservative news channel. There’s a reason for that. Same reason you’re wrong about who owns and controls American news media.
If Americans spent half the time on learning how to vote for sound leadership instead of throwing political shit at each other pretending the literal “enemy” is a political party in the same fucking country, we’d have a flat tax by now and no IRS.
