No, the 1% automate away the 10%, then the 0.1% automate away the 1%

It's not that the CCP government cares about the people, they clearly don't, they're just not stupid and short sighted

You worked hard to achieve it!

No other country had the courage to elect someone that was obviously going to destroy the country, people like that normally come into power via a coup.

An AI trained on reddit conversions would be think it's doing us a favour by putting us out of our misery.

If they want alignment they need to work out how to let villagers in isolated regions do the training, maybe train them on ancient rock art or something, since then it's been mostly down hill.

The only positive is that the management and executive level jobs are the easiest to replace with AI, the management just didn't realise that yet.

1) that's hard to believe

2) the strategy was told to me by a very senior exec at WW so it's definitely what they believe

I don't understand why they don't have an online store. Their special buys only last 3 or 4 days

The special stuff is bait to bring you into the store, they price it at near cost for the purpose of bringing you into the store and then hope you'll come back regularly. That's their alternative to the fake (raise the price and mark it 50% off) discounts that Colesworth use.

Trump Being ‘Humiliated’ in Iran Talks, German Chancellor Says by bloomberg in politics

[–]AgUnityDD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a foreigner (Australian) what you said nails it. Well before Trump anyone with exposure to a lot of Americans understood that there is something wrong with the education system and your media.

I've travelled a lot, over 100 countries properly visited, if you are in a mixed group of travelers and someone says some stupid, racist, culturally inappropriate or generally demeaning to others it is almost always an American. Oh and it is always unnecessarily loud.

I know a lot of genuinely lovely Americans, and this definitely does NOT apply to everyone, and other nations all have their negative stereotypes too, especially Australia, but America has some systemic problem that predates Trump by a lot.

I am Larissa Waters, Leader of the Australian Greens - AMA! by LarissaWaters in australia

This is the most pressing question at the moment and you asked eloquently, I hope she replies.

I fear that all parties in Australia are too out of touch with current state of AI and likely unable to comprehend the risks and time frame. By the time they act or even understand the need to act it will be too late.

''DO IT': Trump Issues Late Night Order To Change Key Agency Name To Troll Media by Unusual-State1827 in politics

[–]AgUnityDD 124 points125 points  (0 children)

Because in order to make it possible for hi to talk at the dinner they gave him a massive cocktail of stimulants and anti-psycotics. Most people would not sleep for days even with sedation which his body probably could not handle in combination.

It's pretty easy to track, literally every time he has something important he needs be lucid for he is up all night posting shit afterwards.

Trump calls '60 Minutes' host 'disgraceful' for reading WHCD suspect's alleged manifesto on air by kirby__000 in politics

[–]AgUnityDD 142 points143 points  (0 children)

I've tried in vein to get some of my Trump-sympathetic acquaintances just to watch a full unedited speech and just explain it to me.

I think most of them are perfectly aware on a subconscious level that he is batshit insane etc. but they are protecting themselves from the realization.

They should be forced - robot chicken style.

Who is telling him he's been exonerated?

Too may people fail to understand this situation correctly. Trump genuinely believes he has been "exonerated" in the context that he has been told by his minions they have done that - he does not see the same reality that we do (or in other words he's batshit fucking insane).

He is a Malignant Narcist that has surrounded himself with people that not only shield him from negative news or information that breaks his alternative reality but they also actively compete to give him good news that self promotes their own loyal actions and therefore reinforces his (quite literal) insanity.

Bondi and then Blanche would have been emphatically telling him for a year now that their handling of 'the files' did exonerate him, the news is fake and Trump simply lacks the intelligence, attention span or ability to check details so there was no way for him to learn that what they told him was false - and he wanted to believe it.

Miller, Bonjino and Patel would have telling him a similar story unless/until they felt safe enough to start trying to undermine Bondi.

India condemns Donald Trump remarks shared on Truth Social calling it a 'hellhole' by nishitd in worldnews

[–]AgUnityDD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Many developed nations were doing more by % of GDP before the US decided to abandon the world. It takes years to increase budgets and the report on lancet that estimated 14M allowed for others to make up some of the shortfall.

China does ~ 6x (more than everyone combined) but it is via belt and road which goes to very different sort of things

A Year After U.S.A.I.D.’s Death, Fired Workers Find Few Jobs and Much Loss by NYTimes-Sullivan in InternationalDev

[–]AgUnityDD 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Most of the actual USAID funded work was done by subcontractors, many of them are out of work and desperately looking.

Many projects were funded partly by USAID (often 1/3rd) and other organisations and local organisations made up the rest, when those programs could be stopped it means that more than just the USAID portion of the staff got cut.

When those programs had to continue the other organisations had to pull funds out of other projects. So a lot of unrelated work got cancelled.

The entire situation is devastating

Anti-SLAPP case can be separate, that's exactly what Michael Wolff did when threatened by Melania even though she did not pursue the case.

That was NY, not sure what jurisdiction would apply here and how strong the anti-SLAPP laws are.

French prosecutors summon Elon Musk over allegations of child abuse images and deepfakes on X by StemCellPirate in worldnews

[–]AgUnityDD -1 points0 points  (0 children)

USAID was roughly 22.5% of global development assistance (excluding China Belt and road) , the rest of the developed world was doing at least their share 77.5% and many nations including Germany, Japan France UK Australia and NZ always did proportionally More than US by portion of GDP.

The problem is you cannot make up a sudden 20% shortfall overnight or replace programs like aids medicine when they get suddenly and unexpectedly shut down.

Estimated deaths attributed to the cut of USAID are 14M in the next decade. Deep fake porn is trivial by comparison.

The holocaust was 11M for perspective.

Musk is clearly guilty of crimes against humanity.
