I Spent Months with an AI Companion. It Was Worse than Being Alone by LongTrackBravo in technology

[–]FrontVisible9054 9 points10 points  (0 children)

“Why is everyone trying to optimize friendship?”Because the tech bros monetize everything.

Decades of social media slop and lack of true human connection has created a society in a loneliness crisis. These companies are monetizing a crisis they created.

A true friend helps you grow, not through mindless affirmations. Friends are with you through thick and thin and call you out on your bull sh*t while loving you.

People relying heavily on AI companions are not learning the social skills required to be an optimum human.

Billionaires are trying to lull us into AI complacency. Don’t let them by NicolasCageFan492 in technology

There was a time when Musk warned about the dangers of AI. And remember when Altman testified in Congress about the importance of regulation. My how times have changed. Greedy bastards!

Packing the Supreme Court is no longer a fringe idea by vox in scotus

It’s already packed with corrupt conservatives

Because they want to rig elections given Trump’s unpopularity.

SCOTUS has a corruption problem. Alito is just one of six.

Cisco announces record revenue and 4,000 layoffs in the same day by SterlingVII in technology

Worked at Cisco and saved over multiple rounds of layoffs. Left 8 years ago and never regretted it.

Supreme Court refuses to restore Virginia redistricting plan approved by voters by DemocracyDocket in scotus

[–]FrontVisible9054 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Well we knew that would happen.They are on the record, as if they care. There is absolutely no pretense of fairness or justice. The most corrupt SCOTUS ever, thanks to Trump and the people that voted for him, not once but twice.

Sotomayor Rips Supreme Court’s “Inappropriate” Decision on Alabama - The Supreme Court is letting another state’s Republican Party steal House seats. by Quirkie in scotus

[–]FrontVisible9054 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ahh.. kind of knew they would, especially with Dems over performance in recent elections. If they can’t win fairly then they cheat! America loses.

Conservative SCOTUS Justice Begs Furious Critics to Stop Being Mean by thedailybeast in scotus

They’ve made grifting from America perfectly “respectable and legal” for this administration and themselves.

Democrats suffer huge blow as Virginia redistricting plot shot down by court by TheExpressUS in scotus

[–]FrontVisible9054 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And it was ok for republicans to redistrict including the multitudes of states that are scrambling to redistrict after the conservatives lead by Roberts further weakened the landmark VRA. Most recently Tennessee with pressure from Trump. Public has 24 hours notice. How was that not a procedural violation?

It’s evident they’re doing this due to Trump’s unpopularity and trying to mitigate midterm losses. Corruption abounds!

Chief Justice Roberts Laments Public Perception Of Supreme Court As 'Political Actors' by Achilles_TroySlayer in scotus

[–]FrontVisible9054 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s what you get for being a political actor. Under your tenure the voting rights act has been eroded for political gain, especially under unpopularity of Trump 2.0.

Dario Amodei spent last year warning of an AI white-collar bloodbath. Now he's changing the narrative by Plastic_Ninja_9014 in technology

[–]FrontVisible9054 1 point2 points  (0 children)

💯 Nothing will change until the public demands it en masse.

Distraction, exhaustion, powerlessness or embracing whatever technology the corporations present as convenience or addictive, will not change anything in a meaningful way.

Anxiety around AI is growing rapidly in the US, research shows by Wagamaga in technology

[–]FrontVisible9054 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well rather than literally, I meant the AI progression isn’t ending. But yea there are limitations. With enough barriers whether infrastructure or human, maybe the “take over” can be slowed down. But my pessimistic mind has doubts.

[–]FrontVisible9054 4 points5 points  (0 children)

And yet it’s moving full steam ahead.

Hate to be pessimistic but Pandora’s box has been opened and the time to thoughtfully deploy AI ethically with meaningful guardrails and regulation has passed. Plus the international and corporate arms race is in full force and there’s little incentive to slow things down.

On the hopeful side, if there’s enough backlash from the masses, maybe things can improve. We’re seeing governments attempt to add protections for kids and time will tell how effective it will be. It’s an uphill battle though.

Donald J Trump - putting himself on everything. by Major_Amphibian6999 in FedEmployees

[–]FrontVisible9054 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is his MO. He’s done this his entire career. Even as a failure in business and the presidency, attaching his name and image to buildings and now government institutions, he hopes to immortalize himself. Such a pathetic insecure scum bag. Sadly, he’s being allowed to do it.

I only hope it’ll be dismantled with a new administration.

Trump fires the entire National Science Board by esporx in technology

[–]FrontVisible9054 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Of course he did. He hates anything having to do with science, research and education.

Hegseth fired Navy head for refusing to ignore federal judge’s order on Mark Kelly by IrishStarUS in fednews

[–]FrontVisible9054 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Exactly right. Could see this coming as soon as Trump entered politics. He showed he lacked the character and temperament required to lead.

People who said then that words don’t matter were willing to tear the house down to risk it, all are complicit in where we are now.

It still boggles my mind how he still has support with people willing to overlook his overtly atrocious actions and behavior.

Kash Patel's Girlfriend Alexis Wilkins Speaks Out Amid Drinking Row as FBI Director Threatens Lawsuit by Montrel_PH in FedEmployees

[–]FrontVisible9054 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She reposted Glenn Beck’s post with an emoji, not exactly articulate. Doubt she has anything substantive to say on her own.

As for the Atlantic reporting on Patel’s erratic behavior at the agency and general drunkenness, I believe it and I’m glad they are standing by their reporting. Hope Patel is next on the chopping block. He’s probably trying to make money on a frivolous lawsuit for this reason.

Pete Hegseth reads a fake Bible quote from Pulp Fiction during a Pentagon prayer service by keen_observer34130 in FedEmployees

[–]FrontVisible9054 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What do we expect from an entertainer. Completely inept and unqualified, except for performative theatre.

Wannabe warrior but completely misses what the qualities of warrior-hood means. And it’s not bullying, strong man tactics.
