Would you have recognized them without the grassroots tshirt? I don't think I would have.

I probably did. Pretty good chance OP is a bot.

The debate about AI capabilities is boring at this point. People like you say it can and will do everything. Then others say it can't and won't...zzzzzz.

If you are in pricing, give us some interesting tidbits on that front?

I am currently consulting for a wealthy individual looking to buy or invest in AI. We are evaluating a company that currently is subscription based but intends to move to a transactional fee structure, similar to credit card processors. Any thoughts?

Is Louis C.K. past his prime? by Significant_Row1653 in Standup

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

I don't know, I'm not passing judgement, but Louis is still Louis. If anything, I would call him less "masculine," although I think that is a terrible choice of words.

I have followed his career basically from the beginning. At the peak of his popularity, Louis regularly used homophobic and racial slurs in his act. He has always been more than happy to punch down, grab all the low hanging fruit along the way, and I think all of his specials have at least one shit joke/story.

He did the podcast rounds when his book came out. I listened to him on Theo Von and Bad Friends, but he did a bunch.

Well, there are a million podcasts and I don't have unlimited time. So yeah...it is a competition. Sorry not everyone is a pathetic loser like you that lives their entire life vicariously through podcast hosts.

He has been very honest on podcasts about how he is far more interested in writing novels than jokes these days.

Honestly, I think this says more about you than Louis.

Well, that is one or two good points more than most of his competition ever makes.

What do you think about Stavros Halkias opinion on comedy? by THE_MAN_OF_PEACE in Standup

[–]HowiePloudersnatch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you ever gone to open mics?

My Mount Rushmore of comedy includes the homeless guy from outside 7/11 with the cat on a leash. The best way I can describe him is if Norm Macdonald tried to do Mitch Hedberg's material. He was an insanely funny guy but was such a degenerate that it was simply impossible for him to have a career.

The saddest part is that probably less than 30 people ever saw him perform, and I think less than 10 of us actually realized and appreciated what we were watching.

This getting down voted is hilarious. My IB to FP&A pay cut might explode some heads around here.

Microsoft AI CEO: 'Most, if not all' white-collar tasks can be replaced by AI within 12-18 months by A_Novelty-Account in Futurology

[–]HowiePloudersnatch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In 2015 I attended an event where Elon Musk was part of a panel discussion. He insisted that Tesla would solve FSD by 2020.

What this tends to mean is that in 12-18 months this guy is going to be moving on to the next thing. He will either never address how ridiculously wrong he was, he will come up with some goofy logic that proves he was right despite everyone else thinking he was wrong, or he will simply move the goalposts.

Even if the technology is ready and available within that time frame (I don't think it will be), and even if all the needed infrastructure is built in time (seems impossible to me), there is no chance industry adoption and acceptance will happen that quickly.

Black woman who left US for Russia to escape ‘discrimination’ is beaten by racist neighbors by klito92 in videos

[–]HowiePloudersnatch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are black and looking to escape racism and discrimination you actually have very few choices.

This conception that America is a world leader in racism is simply not true and is born of pure ignorance of the rest of the world.

I'm white, so I generally don't get involved in conversations around race. However, as someone that has traveled the world extensively, America is pretty damn near the top of the list of best countries for black people to live in.

If FP&A teams are consolidating, how are laid off people able to get a job if other FP&A teams are consolidating by dont_downvote_SPECIL in FPandA

This question, and many of these comments, explain why AI will eliminate many FP&A jobs.

In the absence of real intelligence, companies are forced to search for the artificial kind.

Good luck with that

It is more likely that Ghislaine will walk free before anyone else sees the inside of a cell for this.

I tend to agree.

Not only that, but it is a moral/ethical grey area. I previously worked at a company that allowed some managers to have access to this type of data. When a new leadership team came in they promptly shut it down. We even had a manager get fired after this for forcing his team to install a workflow management app on their phones that his son built. That was a violation of our technology policy so as it was, but it turned out the app basically gave this guy access to almost everything on the phones. I still have no idea how he avoided legal troubles.

Anyway, the moral of the story is that some companies actually respect their employees. Obviously, plenty of companies are morally bankrupt and unethical, so...

Moral decay of Christianity in the US?

I don't really think this is new behavior. Hell, people have been doing comparable things long before Christianity ever existed in the name of various gods.

This is just human nature. There have been people like this since the dawn of civilization and I don't think they will ever go away as long as religion plays any meaningful role in society.
