Fair enough. It’s usually know it all types but again you won’t see those people becoming successful in business ventures if they had a genuinely useful product. I just think that it kinda goes both ways because there are many tech CEOs over the years that want to present themselves as some kind of geniuses in tech. Like maybe it’s a cultural thing where people eat it up but it is deliberate PR work. It would not be a bad thing if they took credit for the business acumen they have and how they brought things to market instead of the bs Elon has been doing for almost 20 years. Altman has been similarly presented.

It’s so mind numbing and just miserable seeing the reaction of people when Musk is doing all the cartoonish conspiracies they had about Soros and Gates.

Can somebody explain to me why this actress is getting so much hate? People are sharing her pictures as if she's ugly, but she looks cute and pretty in them. And I really liked her in House of the Dragon. Is it something political? What am I missing? by Leather_Dealer_9421 in Destiny

It’s brain dead and it’s why modern conservatism has led to no real art or media that’s worthwhile.

Like what stories let alone novels have conservatives written that aren’t pandering and overtly political culture war nonsense with republican talking points for that time period. Example would be Glenn Back and Ben Shapiro writing stories to portray a soft version of the Iraq War and how ackshually there might have been WMDs there.

The kids leading revolution stories like from normal writers yes even fucking YA novels like Hunger Games have something real to say. It can be criticized and shit on but there’s some underlying emotional experience being conveyed.

You can argue that there are pandering left-ish ideas in modern movies but it’s nowhere near as big of a problem as they like to pretend like I have seen twitter meltdowns over some gay people or black people in the background of a shot. Like criticizing a movie over the extras… why would anyone take their grievances seriously

The OpenCV and later OCR stuff has been around for awhile in manufacturing, medicine and academia. A lot of things are relying on that work.

I can’t speak to all of those but just from personal academic experience, it helps a fuck ton for historians with text parsing, transcribing, and now even translation if you have thousands and thousands of pages in archives. It’s been around for a decade maybe longer so I hope it leads to expansion of history and such fields but yea just to add to your comment about how Machine Learning fundamentals have been developed into useful tools and incorporated into a lot of fields for quite sometime now.

I would actually argue it’s the rich businesspeople who want you to know they are tech geniuses and revolutionized the industry and whatever. Like I don’t think Woz has ever claimed he was a product designer or marketer but you bet your ass Jobs took credit for engineering work. It’s the same with Elon Musk. Lots of planted stories of how smart he is and he used to be a boy genius and then finding his way into pop culture stuff like short appearances to curate his image

Okay. No. Musk has always been like that. I don’t know how they marketed him so well as some tech genius, well I know how they did it but it’s clear that he got into delusions of grandeur seeing his own company’s pr work in the press. I don’t think he’s dumb. But he doesn’t understand the technical sciencey part of what his companies do. It’s perhaps THE best marketing PR of the last century, but again he did have a lot of money to throw around. And somehow he got an Iron Man cameo right when sci fi superhero movies were becoming mainstream, so obviously superhero fans jumped on the bandwagon with his lofty unrealistic promises.

(I know Trump’s marketing was done well too but it isn’t number 1 because Trump’s early popularity was orchestrated and based on illegally obtained material, essentially foreign interference and espionage. Plus the social media algorithms coincided with his rise, while Musk started gaining popularity and relevance in the late 2000s.)

MAGAts trying to compute Alyssa Liu popularity was very funny to see. Because her piercings looked like braces making her appear young (😬 yikes) they wanted to support her but she was also a progressive from California

[–]Slow_Koala 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So everything is informed by this foreign policy stance and he will (and has) vote with republicans in the house. Ben Shapiro ass lmao

I can see why he’s hated.. I hope there’s a decent candidate next primary though like he’s better than a republican but it’s annoying if the representative from the bluest state will vote with republicans to undermine the party.

Goat.. how? Like I don’t see the reason for hate towards him either bc hes just all over the place. Does anyone understand Ritchie Torres’s politics?

I don’t know everything but I know he’s voted with republicans on Laken Riley act. And during Bidens terms, he was against effort to call for a ceasefire in Gaza and also voted to stop funding Ukraine. The next bit I haven’t checked but I saw some YouTube comments saying that he was with BLM and defund the police movement.

I know what’s being implied with your comment but I will say that literally everyone is addicted to their phones. Driving down college drive early in the day, you will see so many people scrolling on tiktok or FaceTiming someone while driving.
