These people think that the Democrats are no better than the Republicans and this is a major impetus to the dems winning elections. Maybe someone might see that triangulation is hurting the dems more than helping at this point.

Why the fuck would you let an ai bot manage personal sales like this

Anyone who makes a minor annoyance their whole personality is the reason the minor annoyance exists. Why do I have to do sexual harassment training? Because there are a bunch of people who love to harass women. See the bad guy in this scenario isn't the annoying woke HR, it's the abuser

Would love to see more source information as well as details as to what sectors are driving downward trend in this chart. But here's graphs showing increased costs of construction starting in late 2025

As someone who has a fairly religious antagonism to AI it's important to acknowledge that the problem really isn't the tool itself. It's fine. It's a tool. Some people enjoy it. Whatever. The problem is the whole culture. The hype is crazy. Ppl need to shut the fuck up about it.

If you are at a company doing ai adoption you can see the problem is all the bullshit that execs think ai can do that it's really bad at. What generative ai is really good at is writing good corporate language. Execs can't get enough and think they can fire everyone

This is the reason I like when politicians are interested in governing. There is a lot of work to be done and someone needs to do it. They can't fix society or our culture, that work is much messier. But they CAN have meaningful impacts to make life significantly less difficult

Yep! The anti-vaxx/MAHA movement is very clearly a product of a right-wing media environment. A 2022 survey found Fox News viewers were 4x more likely to hold anti-vaxx views than non-Fox viewers, by far the best predictor. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

Realizing the extent to which this is true wildly changed my opinions about how to deal with Trumpism, since they're never going to be satisfied unless they're actively dominating everyone else. You can't give them some concessions and go back to the status quo: they're reactionary revolutionaries.

Theres definitely a vibes component as well. EVERYONE has been dismissed by a doctor. This is because not all the things you bring up to a doctor are medically relevant. But media networks exploit very real concerns about medical care and push nonsense

It's just oats. Why should I pay $7 for it? Fuck you. I have maple and sugar and pumpkin spice already. Oats are at Costco. It's basically free and it's better than the bullshit at the store. I can even add chocolate chips and almonds or whatever

People think I'm crazy, but the shift to being anti-pedo culturally in the US is an extremely recent one. The constant bombardment of stories about it is a POSITIVE indicator that we are becoming more protective of children, not less

People were extolling the virtues of co-pilot and I asked about the problems I've been having and everyone agreed they were problems. Am I crazy? Crashing my 5k row workbook and destroying my outlook because of a simple sum formula is a big problem!!

As someone who is broadly against the government grocery stores i can't for the life of me get why people are so mad about it. Who cares! It's 5 grocery stores you are going to be fine. This is just political "anti-communism" posturing and it's lame as shit

Today copilot told me that Google sheets is better at recognizing arrays and excel tends to brute force things and i gotta say I just don't get the business proposition of ai as a consumer product

Putting ai into excel is maybe the worst thing Microsoft has ever done. It destroys any workbook and makes nothing work. They also added a LinkedIn integration for some reason
