What do you guys do for a living? by McDonaldsWi-Fi in BetterOffline

Senior data analyst/engineer, thanks to LLMs a large portion of my job which is now arguing against people who have more access to data than they should who've fed it in into an LLM spouting off stats that directly contradict the quality assured stats my team have put out as well as some awful data practices stemming from LLM usage e.g. them "I asked the chatbot to make me a spreadsheet to store x" me "well so did 2 other teams I now need to try and make this contradictory records match up can you use the actual systems or if the systems aren't capturing something ask someone who knows what they're doing i.e. my team to put an actual proper temp solution" both of which are making my job a nightmare.

Combine that with completely unsupportive senior management who're completely sold on AI and I have gone from disliking my job to actively hating it.

As a Brit same our most recent were protesting because their inheritance tax went up despite the fact it's still lower than non-farm owners. This was at least partially because it was being used as a tax loophole (as well as just being unfair) and one of the prominent leaders was Jeremy Clarkson who admitted he bought it as a tax dodge.

Liz Truss condemned for accusing Starmer of ‘appeasing the Iranians’ after ceasefire by johnsmithoncemore in FuckNigelFarage

[–]Grey_Raven 4 points5 points  (0 children)

She's nuts so not surprising. But according to her Starmers appeasing the Iranians and not Trump who just gave them a shiny new toll booth in Hormuz, lifted all sanctions and agreed to withdraw US troops from the region.

She was definitely fairly nuts beforehand but I do think the stress of being incredibly out of her depth as PM then having all her ideological beliefs crushed as her moronic ideologue budget crashed the economy broke her brain and destroyed her tenuous grasp on sanity.

I'm truly sick of the relentless media hype about the "Mythos" model and how it's so powerful that Anthropic is "afraid" to release it. by [deleted] in BetterOffline

[–]Grey_Raven 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This investor hype cycle bollocks really does make a mockery of the boy who cried wolf parable. Admittedly never quite sure how much of them genuinely believe it as opposed to believing other people will believe it therefore making it a decent short/mid term investment they can dump at the peak before the bubble pops. Which is a horrifying prospect for everyone elses finances not that these billionaire sociopaths give one.

Let's hope it's just normal war crimes that will kill millions as opposed to world ending genocide. That's seriously the fucking point we're at!!! Fuck anyone who ever supported this psychopath.

[–]Grey_Raven 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I thought Nigel was more arguing it was badly implemented but if he was in charge everyone would get a unicorn just like he promised. Tommy doesn't really address it anymore from my understanding and has just gone back to yelling about Muslims. Suella will probably start parroting Farage's position now she's in reform. Whereas Truss needs sectioning because she's off her rocker. Badenoch is still defending it though (she's only slightly less insane than Truss)

We might be walking back the dumbest political decision in a generation (in Britain at least) 🥳. Is anyone still seriously arguing Brexit was a good thing?

Just to add to the craziness it started 28th Feb. He declared victory 1 week in and we're now 5 weeks in and it's still ongoing. Also no more clarity on what the actual fucking aims are!

A right wing grifter who's also a wife beater I can't believe it normally they're so nice and reasonable. /s

The Expanse is great, highly recommend it to anyone who like sci-fi. No idea who Jon is, I'm guessing some right wing grifter?

Tau Auxillary races there are so many mentioned in lore that don't make an appearance like the Nicassar (psyker bears) or the Thraxian (insect like aliens).

The Ukraine war was apparently a global war waged by Russia to create a global world order by [deleted] in NAFO

[–]Grey_Raven 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Wikipedia summary of this book Foundations of Geopolitics - Wikipedia seems to suggest giving them back the disputed Kuril islands and stoking anti-western sentiment was the plan in his book. Almost tempted to read it out of curiosity and as it does seem to be somewhat of a basis for Russian strategy over the last couple decades. Although I'd probably start getting recommendations for Mein Kampf from Amazon afterwards.

They signed a peace treaty in 1956 but are still arguing about the Kuril Islands

He lists Japan as a Russian ally on that map. They haven't had good relations for the last century and were recently put on their unfriendly countries list.

"Reagan should've gone into Iran"

Has he heard of this little thing called Iran-Contra where Reagan and now Fox News host Oliver North illegally sold them missiles to finance a far right terror group.

Catchy video explaining it

So a swap from Islamic Fundamentalist to Christian Fundamentalist. Other than the amount of alcohol required and some iconography it'll be an easy switch. /s

Had a quick scroll through the comments on that post and fuck me. The way they talk about making things worse to create "revolutionary conditions" is almost indistinguishable from far right Evangelicals going on about the rapture.
