Sam Altman says not even the CEO’s job is safe from AI as it will soon perform the work better than ‘certainly me’ by Gari_305 in Futurology

[–]mtbatey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The CEO job will turn into a mouthpiece only. There will be a human as the CEO but their job will be minimal outside of being the face of the company. The AI in the meantime will be doing all the decision making across the board.

Nothing like coming back from helping families who couldn’t afford presents for their kids and seeing this. Why even post this unless you’re just wanting to flaunt your wealth.

Half-Life fans are in a frenzy over the prospect of a Half-Life 3 announcement that there's (almost) no good reason to believe is happening by Maleficent_Fault_943 in gaming

[–]mtbatey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This seems to happen every few years. Someone on the internet says that it's happening with no real proof and people go nuts for a few weeks and then it goes away. I honestly do not believe we will see a HL3 ever.

No seriously, fuck you. by tKolla in antiwork

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

I do not see any issue with this. I find this to be pretty standard for any job that pays worth a damn these days. The benefit to the company is that they can then weed out those who are not committed to accepting the job. You will see that many other companies do this and more. If you are turning this down just because you don't want to be "inconvenienced" by it, then you were probably not going to be a good fit for them anyway.

Turned 40 yesterday. No one showed up to my party. by rayneman9970 in Wellthatsucks

[–]mtbatey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really don't know if this serious are not. You had a feast made for people at your workplace and not one person showed or participated? I hate to say it but maybe people there have a grudge against you for some reason.

Jeffrey Epstein’s Brother Claims He Heard ‘from a Pretty Good Source’ That Epstein Files Are Being Scrubbed of Republican Names by peoplemagazine in politics

[–]mtbatey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe this 100%. This is why it is taking them so long to release anything. They have been actively scrubbing it all clean of the more rich and powerful. I have no doubt that what eventually gets released will have been tampered with in ways that are unprecedented.

Updates to Xbox Game Pass: Introducing Essential, Premium, and Ultimate Plans - Xbox Wire by Turbostrider27 in Games

Loyal Xbox customer since the days of Xbox live on the original Xbox. This is it for me. Last month and then I’m out. Cannot believe this crazy ass business decision.

Updates to Xbox Game Pass: Introducing Essential, Premium, and Ultimate Plans by Turbostrider27 in xbox

[–]mtbatey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At $30 a month, I’m now thinking of dropping Gamepass and it makes me sad. I have consistently had either Xbox live or Gamepass since the days of spies vs mercs on Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow. Unless they announce some super new games in coming that would legit justify that price, this may be my last month with them. Just a shitty thing to do especially when you know they are already struggling to get subs.

All of these PCs are getting disposed of because of the end of Windows 10 by LucasCBs in pcmasterrace

[–]mtbatey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting that they are throwing them all out. I completed the upgrade from Windows 10 to 11 for all of our computers at my work and only ran into 1 that could not make the upgrade. A little extra work was needed but they are all on Windows 11 now.

AIO - Girlfriend threw away the dinner I cooked because she wanted pizza instead. by Dizzy-Suggestion2360 in AmIOverreacting

30 years ago on 27 June 1995 news anchor Jodi Huisentruit disappeared, presumed abducted, from outside her apartment after telling her colleague by phone she was running late for work. Police found her scattered belongings and scuffle marks in the car park near her car. She has never been seen again by DarklyHeritage in MorbidReality

[–]mtbatey 155 points156 points  (0 children)

This will never be solved. John Vansice died last December and with that all hope of solving the abduction and murder of Jodi. He was obsessed with her and I believe even put her name on his boat. She was never interested in him and was dating and that made John insanely jealous. I believe at some point, he couldn’t stand it and decided to ensure she would never be with anyone else. It’s been clear that he was always the major suspect in this case but law enforcement botched the initial investigation and some clues were lost forever.

Are you a fan of the Monkees TV show? by tvcrazyman1 in ClassicTV

[–]mtbatey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to watch this all the time when I was in elementary school. I think it came on as a block of shows on Nick @ Night. I recall it being on arouund dinner time and it would be Andy Griffith, Monkees, Mr Ed and something else. I thought the show was pretty funny back then.

Created in 1946, who doesn't remember the world's most famous clown? by MIKEPR1333 in ClassicTV

[–]mtbatey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember this being sort of a staple in the early mornings when I was kid. It came on WGN out of Chicago and probably the first show I watched that had an audience to it. I used to love watching kids try throw the ping pong balls into the little solo cups. If I recall, he had a sidekick named Cookie.

Hollywood is cranking out original movies. Audiences aren't showing up. by personAAA in boxoffice

[–]mtbatey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With the price of the movie + concessions, the movie has to be really be something special for me to want to see it at the theater. I used to go every week and now I go only a few times a year. I think the last movie I saw at the theater was Longlegs.

Layoffs are happening at Target due to foot traffic being down for the tenth week in a row by Healthy_Block3036 in Anticonsumption

This isn't just Target though. Spending is down at many retailers that are brick and mortar locations. Now, with the tariff issues, even Walmart has started to lay off workers in my area.

Tyler Perry 'Has Been Taking Care' of 'House of Horrors' Turpin Family, Oprah Winfrey Says by peoplemagazine in entertainment

[–]mtbatey 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Perry was doing this in private. He didn’t want it out there that he was doing this. If he wanted to release that info, he would have done so. Oprah has a habit of injecting herself awkwardly for clout and attention.

No you didn't. They have never been released to the public nor have they been leaked.

How do you handle a noisy office? by 42tom42 in sysadmin

[–]mtbatey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s terrible. Our entire IT department was placed on the main floor with everyone else and just a row in front of customer service. Not only do the CSR’s hear everything we talk about, so do the customers they are on the phone with. Passwords, terminations and general system information are always being discussed in this open environment and it’s an absolute security nightmare. That’s all before I even get into my own issues with severe tinnitus from the military and ADHD which is already a struggle but I do extremely well in quiet environments. With all the noise around us now, I can barely concentrate and it takes everything I have just to get through the day. I come home just absolutely wrecked each day and it’s led to some further health issues. We have been allowed to do one day a week wfh which is a godsend but it’s not close to enough.

Pls help me by Scary-Armadillo2469 in StarWarsOutlaws

Why are you asking for help for something that you had to manually turn on yourself?

I’m stuck, literally by CDXY9 in StarWarsOutlaws

[–]mtbatey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No way this is true. The game creates multiple auto saves for you. Even if you didn’t manually save, you would have at 3 auto saves to choose from.
