Meta displayed a chart showing that the “percent of time spent viewing content posted by ‘friends’ ” has declined in the past two years, from twenty-two per cent to seventeen per cent on Facebook, and from eleven per cent to seven per cent on Instagram.
Yeah. By their design. If they would allow user control over what shows up in their feed, mine would prioritize friends’ content. I’m not the one choosing to turn my feed jnto AI slop based on my alleged interest in the topic.
acknowledges the term was made to troll LGBT people
Why can’t we have a good faith conversation on this?
K, sure.
Zero.
If someone I know asks me for money, I’m at least asking them “what’s up? Everything ok?” before giving them money.
Then after that, still probably zero because I don’t have any cash in my wallet atm. So hopefully I can help in some other way, give them a lift somewhere, cover a meal, something.
I had already shifted to working from home, ordering groceries for pickup, avoiding crowds, etc. for several weeks before shutdown happened.
I too thought it would last maybe a month or two, so started a degree thinking I would have at least a semester knocked out during lockdown. Jk, I had the whole degree done before we returned to office.
Overcoming writers block or whatever you want to call it
Like writing an obit or thank you message that doesn’t sound stupid. I just need a sentence down to work from, even though it doesn’t make it to final draft.
Or I needed to come up with activities to teach 4th graders about aerodynamics for a STEM outreach thing. None of the output from LLM was usable as it was spit out but was enough for me to kickstart real ideas
It wouldn’t have been that much work to moderate before the API bullshit ripped community-built moderation tools away.
This was by design. Make moderating more difficult. Claim moderators are failing. Replace with AI that Reddit can control. Replace mods who leave from frustration with hand-selected mods who follow the company line.
Reddit purged their volunteer mod base for exactly this reason. Some company asks them to change moderation to accommodate them, reddit complies without having to deal with pesky, independent human mods who might argue against the censorship.
Mission accomplished. I liked it. Won’t be on the near-term rewatch list but it was quite enjoyable.
Goddamm is Toni Colette good at every role she takes. Down to how she moves her hands as she slices up that new ingredient for a sauce.
I will watch Mickey 17 this weekend if plans hold. I might have unreasonable expectations, so trying to temper myself before going in.
My company recently released a beta “AI” tool to do similar.
What I’ve found but was 0% surprised by, our documentation has conflicts. It still takes an experienced, knowledgeable person to notice that there’s a conflict, then dive into source documentation to resolve them.
What going to happen is they think they can cheap out on hiring/retaining employees with those abilities.
I would bet a dollar the documentation in nuclear has similar conflicts and similar if not greater experienced human knowledge to resolve them.
I also do auditing/compliance and I would love to be a fly on the wall while they explain the chain of logic and objective evidence that it works leading to offloading tasks to AI.
It actually surprises me to see 46/33. Gut feel, I would have put it closer to 60/20.
A pretty coffee bean canister. I was using original bag + ziplock, so the new can keeps them fresher and looks better.
Making it even tougher for Frameworks to win a customer like you over, even without 40%+ fuckery in pricing.
I know a person who uses a pillow of this shape. Strict side sleeper.
I agree with you, I would be challenged to come up with something more uncomfortable that still meets the definition of “pillow”.
This is a hardware startup trying to attract customers away from the likes of Lenova, who has simpler products, a more mature supply chain, and economy-of-scale to their advantage. No way are they pricing to absorb 40%+ with day-to-day swings unless they have to.
This is firmly in “talk to your doctor” territory, friend. No one here is qualified to advise you, and any advice needs to be 100% custom to you. Good luck. You are worth getting help.
Edit up front: there is no evidence article author “Rose Dixon” is a real person. The article is filed under “Garden”. They really need to ratchet down the jingoism dial on their AI slop.
Really hitting the, “rah rah, America is the best” propaganda in this article.
Note that Aziza Almanakly, the lead author of the study, is a PD Soros Fellowship recipient. (Not to be confused with a different person identified as “lead author” later in the article).
Paul & Daisy Soros Fellowships for New Americans provides merit-based funding for New Americans, immigrants and children of immigrants, who are poised to make significant contributions to US culture, society and academia.
Paul Soros is George Soros’ brother and less visible partner.
If the current US administration had their way, the leader of this “American achievement” would be in a prison in El Salvador.
No specific piercing. I’m vanilla AF, so any piercing or amount of piercing that I can’t help but stare at probably means we aren’t a great match.
Actual red flag … maybe if the piercing has a swastika or other political/religious/other sentiment I find abhorrent.
That’s why I said this part
Put your anti-MAGA efforts towards improving your IRL community where you don’t have to futilely battle pseudonymous trolls.
Edit: that was a little blunt. To elaborate, I don’t engage everyone I see in the grocery store wearing a MAGA hat. I don’t knock on the door of everyone flying a Trump flag. I don’t engage the white nationalist ass hat spouting off in the bar. We pick our battles based on many factors, including personal safety and well being. Find a way to help that actually does something and makes you feel good about it.
My two cents.
If it’s not so terrible that you dread every day, keep it and the paycheck while you look for another job. As soon as you have a new job lined up, quit.
You seem concerned about making it easy on them, maybe help them out a few weeks to soften the blow. Don’t bother, you’re taking up their time and training resources that they could be spending on the next person who is going to replace you.
Be professional in how you quit, but don’t be a doormat. Remember this company could lay you off at any moment and the “best” company will only be professional. They aren’t your friends. Match that energy.
