Sure. And whether he was a sacrificial goat here is not for us to know. But let’s not pretend that the CEO had no responsibility.

Whether or not it was his idea is irrelevant, he’s the one who approved it.

Those all sounds like generic automated emails to me.

Why not then post the personalized emails? This particular email just doesn’t look incriminating to me. Sure it is POSSIBLE that someone at Reddit specifically added him to the email list, but that’s hardly the most likely explanation.

ITT: People complaining about an automated email that gets send to a huge largely uncurated mailing list. This is so very obviously not an email someone at reddit personally addressed to Andrew Tate, let alone personally selected him to be added to the mailing list.

Seriously, people, there’s plenty to complain about without making up new stuff.

It’s almost a philosophical question of whether I can replace us though. Because for it to be anything more than a tool it needs real intelligence, compassion, etc. Basically it would need a conscious.

I’m certain it’ll replace some jobs without that, just because being a tool it’ll make us more efficient and that efficiency will eliminate jobs. But I’m not seeing it replace or assimilate entire industries at this stage.

We are nowhere near AI writing our software unattended. Not even close. People really over estimate the state of AI.

True, but given that:

• The animal was considered healthy days prior.
• No details were released as to the cause of death.
• This happened in Brazil.

I’d say the odds are that it was human fault.

Aaaand it went extinct…

Good job humans.

A lot of those problems are true in the US/Canada as well (maybe more so; eg. pension). But unlike the US/Canada you get compensated for lunch and transit. AND you get a huge amount of time off. That alone is already drastically better than what you get in the US/Canada. Sure, if you make big bucks that’s mostly moot, but most people don’t.

When I worked in Belgium not only did they pay for your transit costs, they even paid for your car, phone, and lunch. Granted the car and phone were contingent on you having a use for them for your work, but still.

This was nearly 20 years ago.

Nowadays, when I see news about some new law that’s gonna ruin the web I just have a sad chuckle. That ship has sailed. And they didn’t even need shitty laws to do it.

To be fair people who pay thousands are probably perfectly fine with Starfield, although they may have to be satisfied with 120fps instead of 240fps.

The ones mainly hurting are the ones with similar budgets as console gamers. And console gamers are hardly unfamiliar with performance issues.

Being a pc gamer has much more to do with what ecosystem you get to tap into, rather than how much you’re spending.

I’ve also noticed the opposite effect. Where if a movie is leaning into being plain and easy to watch you’ll have critics rating it down cause they wanted it to do some artsy stuff. Definitely feels like critics are more on the artsy side of the scale, which is fine but doesn’t always align with what I’m looking for.

Yeah I definitely assign more value to the audience reviews. Critics are mostly useless, unless you identify ones that align with your personal taste.

Movie / TV reviews are such a shit show. I rarely find myself agreeing with the averaged out rating.

These days I’ll just make sure the rating is above say 30 and beyond that I’ll rely on trailers and reading actual reviews. But finding new movies and tv shows to watch is quite a chore as a result.

I hope someday soon AI can be employed to give you real personalized recommendations that don’t suck. But realistically it’ll just be more shitty algorithms meant to serve the interests of the highest bidder.

Interesting. I searched for YouTube tv on my android tv but can only find the base YouTube app. Sounds like you’re saying this is some separate sort of app? How do you obtain it?

Edit: not available in Canada. Well that explains our very different experiences.

Gotcha, lucky you that the algorithm seems to align with your viewing habits. For me I’d say I easily waste the quoted 10 minutes to find something to watch on YouTube.

What’s your secret? Youtube just keeps recommending me the same shit. Their algorithm just makes it so that you’re rarely seeing new stuff.

Yeah that’s fair. I’d say it falls into the same boat as the argument against the CEO; they haven’t done anything clearly malicious, but their bad decisions are enough to give you pause and reconsider.
