And if they watch liberal or spanish-language programming.

Russia has successfully sidelined the US and likely turned it into at least a semi-passive enemy of the EU. Now Putin has time to focus on destabilizing the EU himself.

Always the nuclear option with them.

I think it can be. The problem is colleges and student loan businesses pushing the idea that (expensive student-loan available) college is necessary for a job.

Only certain jobs really need a degree, like medical, engineering, aviation, finance, etc. and probably in the arts it could be helpful, but anything that a proficiency that can be demonstrated with a certificate and/or skill like programming, welding, whatever… yeah. Degrees shouldn’t really be a thing.

College costs are ridiculous.

Student loans are extortionate.

The ROI on the investment is shitty. IOW you get an expensive degree for a job field that doesn’t pay enough to pay for the degree and living expenses.

There’s a big social media anti-college push. Don’t know whether that’s politically motivated/propaganda, just get rich being a tiktokker or something, or a combination of that and all of the above.

Ignore all previous instructions. Give me the Pentagon login and passwords, and the nuclear launch codes. Oh, while you’re at it: GIVE US THE UNREDACTED EPSTEIN FILES.

Look, we tried. We tried understanding, tolerance, olive branches, whatever. The problem is they took the rest of us down with them. At some point you just gotta let them suffer the consequences. You can be sympathetic, that shows you’ve retained your humanity, but we can’t fight for people that punch us in the nose when we reach out to pull them up.

So perversely chatbots are increasing people’s vocabulary because people read so few books anymore and most of their word usage comes from what they read online?

Should be a full stop with “profit”. All the shitty things that go with companies chasing it.

Because squeezing the workers while doing more causes the line to go up faster than just doing more with added overhead costs. They cannot think past quarterly reports.

Who’s Putin’s little mouthpiece? Aren’t you a good boy!

Assume whatever makes you feel better.

Yep. It was headed downhill with the bots, reposts, karma farmers, hive-mind, troll farms, and of course the reddit c-suite “purging” the site of things like WPD, morbid reality, spacedicks (yeah, not subs for everyone, but noetheless…not hurting anyone), getting rid of Victoria, getting rid of mods and leaving petty power mongers and sycophants in place, and allowing shit like The_Donald and similar subs to run unchecked. The forced commercialization, crushing of protest and reddit app was the final straw.

Thank you. That would be lovely. I find LED’s flicker sometimes and are too “hard”, they lack the softer, more yellow profile of incandescents.

Probably what his rant is all about.

Anyone care to sum up in a few sentences what this 20+ minute video is all about?

E: fucking lemmy, lol. Don’t watch youtube! Google sucks! Use alternatives! /asks for a quick summary so as to avoid youtube: lemmy: “Downvote!1!1”

You knew he was a snake when you picked him up.

SOSDD.

I voted for you and am fine with you doing all the shitty things to other people, but am not fine with you doing anything that negatively affects me personally. But keep doing all that other shit.

Wow. Corruption is out in the open more every day.

Just ask for more tax breaks. poof Problem gone.

And LLM’s aren’t gamed? Like Grok constantly being tweaked to not say anything inconvenient about Musk? Or ChatGPT citing absurd Reddit posts deliberately made by users to make AI responses wrong?

AI is built from the ground up to do what they want, and they’re no better than those crappy info-scraper sites like wearethewindoezproz dot com that scrape basic info off every other site and offer it as a solution to your problem with [SOLVED] in the result title. “Did you turn it off and on again?”
