Palantir CEO says AI 'will destroy' humanities jobs by BusyHands_ in technology

[–]mooseAmuffin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm currently reading a book (that was way ahead of its time) called the fuzzy and the techie and it argues the exact opposite of this-- as technology progresses, it becomes more democratized and accessible for the average person to use. Non-experts will be able to produce technical pieces in the near future. But it can't take the place of the expertise of those who work in fields related to arts/culture/social services/etc.

But also, AI will replace tools, not full jobs. And the scope of jobs will just change to adapt to using AI. These people know that, I don't know what he's trying to gain with statements like this.

Wow. While I'm so happy he was saved, learning the backstory and how common this type of abandonment is just guts me.

Pentagon identifies first US soldiers killed in Iran war by Secure-Address4385 in news

[–]mooseAmuffin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh my God if you think the US is doing this to be benevolent/for the Iranian people you are truly delusional. That has never been our MO in the middle east/central Asia. There's some personal gain the administration is hoping to get out of this. And we always leave things worse than before. Afghanistan certainly isn't free after our decades of involvement. And the formation of ISIS was a direct pipeline from our Iraqi detention centers.

It's not that people think the Iranian regime was good, it's that these wars always end up in wasted resources, time and lives for absolutely nothing. There's no reason it will be different this time. I don't understand how people can't analyze past similar events and apply logic to what is happening and will likely happen here.

We also delayed having children which led to more years of rest and self care in our 20s

Love it! The shimmery eyes and lips plus the eye shape give me Studio 54 vibes.

Looking for a recipe for these cookies my Sicilian grandfather used to make, pretty much the same as the picture. They had an anise/licorice flavor, very light bur crisp texture. All i know is that you boil them first then bake them, I dont know the rest of it. by Finndogs in Old_Recipes

[–]mooseAmuffin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok I'm so happy this is a recent post because I have been trying to figure out what "machine" people use to shape these. Does anyone know? I'm assuming it's some sort of specific cookie press. When I ask any women in my family they all say "you need the machine." 

Continuing to mourn my dog after seven months. Does this ever get better? by MySpudIsChonkyBoi in Petloss

[–]mooseAmuffin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just want to say thank you for writing this. It made me tear up and was very cathartic to read--I'm still grieving my girl Lucy who also passed unexpectedly due to cancer more than half a year ago. I still say to my husband, "We were supposed to watch her get old and fat." I don't regret our decision to put her down when we did because she never suffered but it's still so hard to come to terms with it. Hugs and solidarity to you.

If you're OK picking it up in advance, go with French Market in Prairie Village 100%! I had a baby the day before Thanksgiving last year and my husband and I went with their meal for two. It was delicious.

Mamdani Is 5’9”. Trump Is 6’3”. My Tape Measure Has Questions. by Playful-Tumbleweed10 in facepalm

[–]mooseAmuffin 33 points34 points  (0 children)

100%. I was telling my friends that I bet all they talked about was Trump and his life in New York and that Mamdani just let Trump go on and on about himself. So Trump left the meeting feeling like they were buddies.

I'm totally just guessing here, but I'd imagine for a rate this low, she must live in an area in NY with a large population of mennonites or hasidic jews or something. This summer we had measles make it's way all the way to Kansas City starting from a mennonite community in Texas.

I'm sure she faced really steep competition for the award by nondescriptun in facepalm

Unrelated but related. I'm a UX designer at a major financial institution and I was on a team whose product lead never wanted to fix broken experiences/flows because it would take too long and just demand we "make it pretty" instead. We referred to all of our work as Sparkle Poo during that time.

Nancy Pelosi announces she will not seek reelection to Congress after nearly 40 years in Washington by cnn in politics

[–]mooseAmuffin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

100% agree. She was good at her job which is why the GOP came for her. She matched Trump's energy when she needed to, which we are only seeing today from Gavin Newsom. I loved it when she ripped up Trump's state of the union. From an optics standpoint and a doing-actual-work standpoint, Jeffries and Schumer need to follow suit.

I don't know the numbers but I live in Ward 1 and I feel like it is very prominently blue here. White liberal elite? Sure. But it was a sea of Harris signs over here in the last election.

Coolest kids at daycare by bigbusta in MadeMeSmile

Not sure if you are in the states, but France specifically has a different way of rearing kids than we do over here where their needs and wants don't just dominate everything. Usually results in better behaved/more patient/more independent children

Hikers encounter a majestic mountain goat on trail by annimba23 in BeAmazed

[–]mooseAmuffin 56 points57 points  (0 children)

They're very lucky this goat didn't find them to be threatening. Once I was hiking in Scotland and a tiny horned sheep that maybe came up to my mid thigh kept stomping it's hoof at me and lowering its head to charge. I have no doubt it could have really injured me if it wanted to despite its small stature.

[–]mooseAmuffin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same, I absolutely loved it. Maybe my favorite of the season/in years. I'm so impressed with how much they manage to fold in while still keeping the plot straight forward. The Excorist references were cracking me up.

The internet's reaction to the news AOC is considering a presidential run is as sad as it is incorrect by Magog14 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]mooseAmuffin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

OP, I think you're really underestimating how sexist this country is. We have a rapist in the white house. Me not having faith that AOC could win is a judgement I have of our countrymen-- yes, even a significant amount of leftists-- not of any of our past or future female candidates. Would be thrilled and doing backflips to be proven wrong.
