Very normal tech persona behavior, but it’s made very special by the presence of that channel on yammer of all places.

I have some positive news, someone did the math: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2452292924000493

Drawing on recent empirical evidence, we show that ending poverty and ensuring decent living standards (DLS) for all, with a full range of necessary goods and services (a standard that approximately 80% of the world population presently does not achieve) can be provisioned for a projected population of 8.5 billion people in 2050 with around 30% of existing productive capacity

Yeah, why do they dress expensively but shit? My suspicion is so that the kind of elites the Kravattennazis don’t like can snub them. Gives them street cred, the “elites” don’t like them!

Consider: making fun of the way they look not only hurts anyone who looks like them through no fault of their own (say, can only afford a shitty cut once every few months) but actively plays into the hands of those shitheels - they made you do a classism.

Let’s ridicule them for their garbage beliefs and their shitty actions; they sure deliver plenty of those.

Oh lol, isn’t this what Hindenburg Research and others are doing, except on the real market? Shorting some company’s stock and then publishing news stories about how bad things are gonna happen to them is a very fun grift…

Guess what I’m saying is, wonder if an FTC with fangs wouldn’t treat prediction markets as an as-yet unregulated securities exchange…

Oh boy, if licensing education is too expensive to run, do I know a bad purchase for Microsoft to have made

Despite worrying my brains out about getting deported from my home of 14 years because I wasn’t born in this godforsaken place, I’m extremely excited that Elon will get fired in the next 6 months or less. Gives me life to think about him getting very publicly humiliated by an even greater piece of shit than he is.

Ohhhh, so this is a forced-birther agenda item. Got it

Hate to break this, but https://www.nbcnews.com/business/business-news/elon-musk-x-corp-alex-jones-infowars-rcna180487

Seems he is now fully sold on the idea that this is his world, we’re just living in it.

 

School student tells AI to put 20 other students’ faces on nude pictures, shares them in chat; it takes months for anyone including the school administrators to act because of some extremely, uh, dubious loophole.

If someone does that in photoshop, it’s a crime; if they do it in AI pretending to be photoshop, it’s somehow not. Gotta love this legal system’s focus on minor technicalities rather than the harm done.

 

They have Nik Suresh (the author) on, as well as Robert Evans. I haven’t listened to it all yet, but it’s fun so far.
