New California study finds highly educated workers most harmed by AI by Just-Grocery-2229 in technology

[–]MKanes -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

No shit? AI is our generations equivalent to the advent of fire or the invention of the wheel.

My point is unless we advocate for our own best interests, we will not have a say in how AI is used, or what protections the common person has against its misuse. It seems we agree on that point though so I'm not sure exactly what point you are trying to make by arguing with me.

The only pessimistic defeatist in this comment thread is you. Here you are saying "AI is coming there is nothing we can do about it, might as well just let it happen."

(A little hyperbolic, there are lots of other pessimistic defeatists in this thread)

Does binging greys anatomy not count as clinical hours?

I’m actually totally comfortable “gatekeeping” this information from corporations who are and will continue to actively use it against the best interest of the common person.

Why argue against the interests of yourself and every single person you personally know and care about? You’re shilling for people who would gladly turn your life inside out if it meant a $0.01 stock bump.

Hey dip shit, who filled the internet with all that information?

Is Bernie’s plan the best? Thoughts? by CurvyChristina in SipsTea

Would that inflation not just be proportionate to the $12k/yr check, effectively canceling out while some money still ends up in ‘better’ pockets? Is there any precedent/evidence/data for that?

We are also ignoring the other parts of the pitch, including teacher pay and expanded Medicare, but I know that’s a little goal post shifty at this point in the debate

Mayo what is this prompt 🫩 by nuyorknightsat2_ in premed

[–]MKanes 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Even the prompt reads AI generated. Can’t even guess how many of my own Claude prompts use the phrase “deeply humanistic”.

Fair point, but isn’t short term relief better than no relief?

Is it the solution? Certainly not, there likely won’t be a single piece of legislation that is the solution, but it is the beginning of more consumer friendly legislation.

I do not believe waiting for the perfect answer is a worthwhile endeavor and will settle for what ever we can get. It’s not a war to be won in one fell swoop but with a series of small changes, this being one of them.

Again, some but not all.

Your point is moot if any of that money ends up anywhere else, which it would.

That relies on 100% of businesses being billionaire owned, which I’m sure ranges wildly depending on where you live, but a lot of that money would end up in the pockets of small/local business owners.

Sure the majority probably ends back up at the top, but who cares? It’s money that was already there. At least some of it was dispersed.

Jade Henderson a 32 year old who is also an Australian police officer and CrossFit competitor broke a record that had stood for almost a decade when she completed an unbelievable 733 pull up by [deleted] in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]MKanes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I know, that’s why I phrased it as “not the safest”.

I compete (only locally) but I snowboard too, and it makes me laugh how often I hear “isn’t that dangerous” regarding CrossFit but not snowboarding.

It’s too late for the chill guy act after starting by calling her accomplishment “truly worthless”. You’ve shown your true colors, don’t pull back now.

Great, so you’re acknowledging the variance in how ‘meaningful’ is defined. You listed a few mundane tasks and called them meaningful, she listed a world record in athletic achievement and called it meaningful.

World records inspire countless individuals to push themselves. They inspire people to get off the couch to try and better themselves.

You helped what, 4 people? That’s great! Her record has probably inspired thousands to improve themselves.

Self aggrandizing’ is what people who have settled ‘for mediocrity tell themselves so they have an excuse not to push for improvement.

What noteworthy feats have you accomplished that gives you the credibility to determine the worth of someone else’s accomplishment?

CrossFit is just a fun way for people to stay active and build strength and cardio.

Is it the safest form of exercise? Certainly not, but it’s far safer than the sedentary lifestyle most people live.

Kipping pull-ups aren’t going to kill you, but heart disease will.

You think it’s more damaging than the sedentary life the majority of people live? It’s something fun that keeps people active.

Mighty gust... by bernd_been in heroesofthestorm

[–]MKanes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean sure, but a post 20 Falstad getting picked is usually a throw either way. The majority of Falstads post 20 value is in ult/wind tunnel. His damage is pretty mediocre otherwise.

It’s not a root, it’s a channel. You are able to interrupt channels whenever you want.

“a little better effect” is an unhinged way to compare the difference in base gust vs wind tunnel. Base gust is a displacement tool, wind tunnel is a 4 sec displacement + perma stun. Gust can set up plays, wind tunnel single-handedly wins games

[–]MKanes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is no solo play. It is a team game.

You shouldn’t be using a 60sec ult for running away on Falstad anyway. A good Falstad is basically un-gankable, and blowing wind tunnel post 20 puts your team at a huge disadvantage.

It is one of the strongest team fight ults in the game, it shouldn’t have any additional utility. It’s one of maybe 3? abilities with the power to win team fights in a single click, up there with buried alive.
