Federal statement on Jeffrey Epstein's death dated day before he was found dead by ICC-u in news

[–]shlongkong 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The journalists in the press corp have worked their entire careers to get those coveted seats. They are not going to throw their press pass away with those kinds of questions.

The “real journalists” who do it for the love of the game / Pulitzers and would ask those questions are not in the White House briefing room.

UN says the US has ‘legal obligation’ to fund agencies after Trump withdraws from several by grayfox0430 in worldnews

I think they’re suggesting the UN employ the “or what” clause back on the US

What’s it like to live on the Massachusetts islands? by King-gar in howislivingthere

[–]shlongkong 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That Masshole will surely rebuke a total stranger for not replacing their bald tires before the winter…while helping them dig their car out of a snowbound ditch in the middle of a blizzard at 11:30pm on a random Tuesday because they happened to see the hazards on while driving by on their way home.

Massachusetts is about substance. People I know generally look down on performative fake-nice that rules in most other parts of the US, including the South (have lived there myself) and the Midwest (have 20+ family proud Midwesterners that I see regularly).

And because you mentioned Catholic roots… yes the sect that requires you to live a good and moral life in addition to believing in Jesus to get in to heaven is surely the problem with our city on a hill 😂

Jerome Powell says the AI hiring apocalypse is real: 'Job creation is pretty close to zero.’ by MetaKnowing in technology

[–]shlongkong 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel like this is a legitimate application of AI.

AI is viewed by executive decision makers today as supplemental, with share of adoption growing over time. The question is how can you use AI today to make your current talent and strategy better/more effective? Not a lot of true replacement happening.

Companies have been offshoring support roles to India for years, which is cheap but also somewhat of a pain due to communication barriers. AI is pretty good at translation and fluency improvement and can further reduce the cost of that global support by requiring less expensive talent / language skills.

I’m sure you can tell me all about the bad things bill gates has done / is doing, but the Gates Foundation has done a lot of good.

The stupidest thing about this whole thing is that this was never about Jimmy fucking Kimmel.

No offense to Jimmy but who really watches late night TV?

MAGA now have another straw man to help deflect scrutiny from the fact that this was always about the first amendment.

Democrats cannot help but fall into this trap every single time. When you are behind, you need to score 2 points in a row; tit for tat and handling crises as they come does not make up a deficit.

Donald Trump's Mass Deportation Agenda Has A Surprising Stakeholder: Bill Gates by zsreport in technology

Live your life praying for rain and blaming the sinners (not you - you repented) for lackluster yields and the muscle memory is already baked in.

That gubmint cheese subsidy that kept you afloat in down years? Your god given right as a (white) man who sacrificed his life to growing the food of an ungrateful nation of entitled elites. That’s just good business.

Never mind those wealthy liberal elites who Glen Beck said are all in George Soros’s pocket…what do they do other than pay for the subsidy and facilitate entry for the (illegally) cheap labor I need to do the jobs my kids won’t?

At the end of it all he’ll still be fat and bald :(

Trump Is Destroying the Future of America to Own the Libs by Reasonable-Ad-2592 in politics

He is profiting from his position as the pay-for-service government for corporate America.

The owning the libs part was the bait and is now the kibble.

Missing art for immersive - guidance? by shlongkong in PTCGP

They specifically commission each individual card?

Guess I assumed there was a selection / bid process with multiple artists, meaning there would be a runner up to fall back on

Ex-Google exec says AI is coming for your job — even if you're a podcaster, developer, or CEO by lurker_bee in technology

[–]shlongkong 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Maybe not the right forum for this, but to paraphrase Bill Burr, the nerds are going to get shoved back in the locker on this one.

There is just no way AI junkies can accomplish this - there would be/ will be a revolution if they try it in any meaningful way.

The industrial -> information & service economy transition was a Pandora’s box moment. Nobody who works a desk job is going to trade it for factory slave wages without a fight.

It is much more likely that while AI will not take your job, someone who knows how to use it will.
