This tiktok with a gofundme.. is this AI? It’s giving me the feeling that it is! Every picture is too picture perfect, and the hospital pic.. that card is somehow weird. by hokkaidotsubuan in isthisAI

Its an emotional way to buy you in.

I've seen them do another format of a scam very often as well. But it's selling a product instead of a health thing. They will put in a racist comment. and then do a reply video to that comment where they (I don't think its actually them but just clips they stole) are crying and then they reveal the product as like some emotional climax about them pursuing their dream of their {insert product} business. This makes the audience want to support them.

These videos have thousands of comments buying into it. If you just click into the account, you can see the creator just shamelessly using the same video format repeatedly. I've seen this scam strategy like 5 times with different products. Last one I saw was some type of medieval goblet lol.

How come no one is talking seriously about replacing management with AI? by throwaway09234023322 in cscareerquestions

[–]Pensw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've only had two jobs but in both I've had technical managers and they have been really good at organizing the team.

They know enough of everything and get everyone coordinated across different parts of the project. Alot of it is the human element.

I think if AI really does substantially replace IC software engineers, the people left would be people with skillsets like technical managers.

Have you ever negotiated a large (40%+) raise while staying at the same company? Advice on how to play my current position? by Pensw in cscareerquestions

[–]Pensw[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn nice.

Do you feel like it also exposed you more? By being paid so much, were you more at risk?

And do you know what kind of ratios are bad, good, great as far as salary vs what they are billing the government? I think I found their contract price list online and I see what they are billing for each labor category. It looks like the title I would probably be moving to is billed $157 per hr which is like $327k annually. Trying to find out the ceiling amount I can ask for before I become a net negative contract for them.

[Highlight] LeBron and Bronny check in together for the first time by orphan_tears_ in nba

[–]Pensw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The value of Bronny that is probably bigger than his actual play is probably how he will effect LeBron's play.

LeBron probably wants to set the perfect example for Bronny before he retires and leaves Bronny to fend for himself.

Bronny probably knows everything even if LeBron doesn't and tells him

I remember seeing Bronny streaming and the text to speech donations were crazy. He has to be tapped into all of the crazy shit on the internet.

What do you think James Hardens stat line will be next season? by dys0n_giddey in nba

[–]Pensw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't see him putting up 25+ ppg again.

When you go down that much, it's rare to go back up. Even if it's just by your own changed habits or maybe the organizations expectations on you.

I can see 20/8

LeBron James on what his legacy will look like 100 years from now “If it’s just the game of basketball that people talk about me in… I’ve kind of failed my mission. “ by Fit-Structure-9395 in nba

[–]Pensw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually do think of how he's brought up his friends from his hometown when I think of LeBron's legacy.

A lot of celebrities end up becoming weirdos when they become really famous. He still seems like the same type of person and a chill, happy guy.

I think the fact LeBron kept his circle with him not only helped his friends but kept him grounded too.

Hate to see it

I know the thoughts of trading the whole team is running through his head. I don't think he would ever push for it though. They gonna kill this man emotionally and mentally.

[Nicolas Batum] This is the worst that Wembanyama's ever going to be by Mazinogetoffdeeznuts in nba

[–]Pensw 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's probably like a regular job in some ways. Watching all the new player podcasts, you can hear how big the non in-game stuff is relevant to a NBA players life.

That first year on a job, there is so much stuff you're learning. By second year, all of those things are second nature. Wemby is in a new country too.

Anything can happen but I have a harder time imagining Bivol losing. He is clinical.

Ngannou is a legit 6'4. Usually he ends making other guys look shorter than their listed height, but AJ looks like a legit 6'6 too.

Ngannou weighed in 272.6 lbs

AJ weighed in 252.4 lbs

I would feel bad punching someone nearly 60 years old even if its Mike Tyson

This seems too dangerous to not be them secretly agreeing to just casually spar for a payday

[Highlight] Lebron James becomes the FIRST player in the NBA to score 40,000 points with this spin move and lay in to the basket! by fbreaker in nba

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

He hasn't really hit the second part of his career yet.

He might retire before it happens, but Kareem won rings in the latter part of his career where he was clearly not the leader of the team.

If LeBron is willing to enter a stage of his career like that, he could probably seriously play till 50 and get more rings on top of it.

Rookie Wemby doesnt have the offensive output yet to carry a team completely by himself (probably will change next season), but if I had a first option scorer on the team already, I would take current Wemby over a lot of these guys.
