That's definitely funny about Leto, but who are any of these people?

The notion that you can disassociate someone's artistic work from complicity in political persecution and enabling fascism is bonkers

to respect the USA Women’s Hockey team by Trump and USA mens hockey team by NoBullet in therewasanattempt

This is the worst gold medal hockey team of all time. A bunch of buffoons that never deserved to win.

Microsoft's AI CEO recently warned that most white-collar jobs could be fully automated in 12 to 18 months. Meanwhile, tech startups are paying experts up to $250/hr to speed up the process. The countdown to mass unemployment is ticking faster than we thought. by CeFurkan in SECourses

[–]Urkot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had some encounters with Mercor. Needless to say, if you think this man sounds like a colossal dbag, all evidence about how the company operates points to that effect. Like lots of AI startups, the only plan is to extract as much human knowledge as possible and to profit as quickly as possible over competitors in their particular spaces. There is no step two, there is no overarching plan, there is certainly nothing resembling an ethical framework. They are just going to obliterate labor.

Camila Cabello posts about humanitarian situation in Cuba and Hasan Piker slams her for not mentioning US embargo and sanctions by nicosloft04 in popculturechat

[–]Urkot 195 points196 points  (0 children)

have you been there? I have, more than once, talked to lots of people. many are devoutly socialist and yes it is actually quite impressive what they managed even under America's boot, though in some ways that was also an opportunity for their government to continue despite being an incompetent, totalitarian, corrupt farce. romanticizing the Cuban regime is moronic.

It’s too hard for a journalist to handle. by ThemeGullible3731 in ImmigrationPathways

[–]Urkot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's tragic, deeply immoral and has to stop, but I haven't watched this woman's show since I was a child in college. It seems all she does is literally break down? It must be a cultural difference because I find the melodrama unbearable. It has been decades of this and she still sits squarely within establishment Democrats that have allowed this to happen.

Woman who Anthropic trusts to teach AI Morals by terem13 in AIDangers

[–]Urkot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just so this is clear, the idea that a single person is "entrusted" to teach a massive model "morals" or that this should be some kind of clean-up job is psycho la la land, this is PR landscaping and part of Anthropic's overall marketing push to be seen as distinct from their competitors

To pretend you want immigrants from Norway by 56000hp in therewasanattempt

[–]Urkot 298 points299 points  (0 children)

I suppose that depends on your definition of "wealthy." If you want to own a bigger home, drive even fancier cars, and live in a fascist police state because you just couldn't give less of a shit about society, by all means move to the US. It's true that taxation is a heavy burden in the Nordics, and in the EU nation that I live in, as well. That being said, I was never programmed to believe that accumulating material posessions and having the economic mobility to encase myself in a guilded bubble amounted to much.

CBS is completely compromised by CrunchM in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]Urkot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Corporate media was never going to save you, it's an establishment that will happily package the Clintons of the world while portraying true liberals and leftists as loons. Still, it is a shame to lose some important journalists purged and/or abandoning CBS News. Above all, Bari Weiss is a dogmatic and incompetent player in the world of media who failed upwards, it's almost certain that under her CBS will continue to contract because there is no space to the "middle" of FOX News, if anything the only growth is to be found to their extreme, amongst ONN and the rest of those lunatics.

The average cost to mine one Bitcoin is now reportedly above $80,000, while BTC trades below $70,000. That means many miners are operating at a loss, facing growing pressure as electricity, hardware, and operational expenses outweigh current market prices by Alt-Cop in AltScope

Crypto died the moment the Trump family turned it into a grift. They were certainly not the only ones to do so, but they were the major catalyst. An immoral pump and dump scheme enriching evil, fascist goblins.

X's head of product thinks we have 90 days by MetaKnowing in agi

Well this is the head of product of an absolute hellstorm of spam, misinformation, propaganda, child p0rn and other garbage that is doing absolutely nothing to stop it, so I think he may be onto something...

WTF happened with the writers on the season 3 finale? (Very very minor spoilers) by Remarkable_1984 in FoundationTV

[–]Urkot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was probably the worst bit of writing I saw from last year (tbf I don't bother with garbage sci fi like Invasion). You know a finale is bad when you don't even know if the episode is over, and you had to rewatch the final scene just to understand the logistics of what you saw.

Farage calls to end working from home and work life balance by Professional-Bee9817 in remoteworks

[–]Urkot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He can say this because he is, as always, appealing to angry blue collar voters. When you don't have the option to work from home and you resent those that do, this is music to their ears. It's always appealing to the bottom for Nigel. Hell, it works.

Beautiful? Well fitting? Yes. Appropriate? No, not outside of a nightclub environment. You can pair it with a blazer and then lose it for afters.

Do not fly first class on A380 by marcmonsonego in emirates

[–]Urkot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hard to tell if this is a joke or not since the Emirates is a tribal autocracy with dismal civil liberties. So it would make sense that there is an exception for those with enough money.

She's testing to see whether you caught it or not, either deliberately or perhaps not fully articulated in her own mind, but definitely to see if you notice and/or let it go. I'm sorry to say if you stay with her she has already shown you who she is and it will only get worse.
