I think that people with access to higher education who also have constant access to world news is bound to lead to people not wanting to put their kids through it. If you compare that to someone who barely has access to the internet and whose main focus is trying to feed their family and it’s a whole different situation. Humans need meaning in their lives and in western societies this has been waning for a while now.

Nothing. The thing he said about openly shooting someone in the street without meaningful consequences is getting more and more true every day.

Bro… condemning them is such a low bar and these ass politicians here are not even willing to take that step. It takes almost 0 effort and is very low risk. We have territories that “belong” to the Netherlands close by that are afraid of what’s going on with their neighbor and you won’t even speak up about it. Weak.

Yeah they do, it’s the one Ghislaine Maxwell is in. The one that’s basically a regular house that you can’t leave.

I agree, uncle Bob does not need AI to make a video of a polar bear shooting an RPG into a house after ringing the door bell. My main issue with AI is that it’s so publicly available that people have started using it for the dumbest shit. Why do you need to constantly ask it stuff? People are truly being ridiculous about it, I have lots of coworkers who barely even write their own emails anymore… I’m even starting to wonder what they do during the day.

There’s great use cases for AI, especially in medicine and other fields. But for commercial use it’s basically useless besides being a gimmick.

If they’re so against this they should start an impeachment procedure and actually have the balls to go through with it for once.

That’ll last for a couple of months, maybe a year. And then the Republicans will come for medicaid too. If they get away with gutting Medicare, what makes you think they won’t do the same to medicaid?

I really love that Bo Burnham song about country songs, ever since I heard that it’s all I can hear when listening to country now. So many of the popular country songs follow that format almost exactly, it’s insane…

At my previous job they had a “dealing with overworking” webinar within the first few days I joined. During the webinar it came out that like 75% of the people in my department worked unpaid overtime every week… I only lasted a year there, not for that reason specifically but it was definitely an interesting first impression…

I have (idle) hopes that most of the losses will fall on the people that created this mess. I know that’s not what happened in 2008 but one can hope. I’m not into stocks myself so I hope I would be safe when it happens but you never know, I was too young in 2008 to see/feel the full effects of it happening. Maybe I’d be screwed too. But I’d honestly take a few years of things being shitty over the nonsense what’s happening now. I got through covid, I’m sure this would be manageable too, especially since I live in Europe.

I honestly can’t wait for the bubble to pop. There are some very niche use cases where AI can provide actual benefits but overall it’s been such a slopfest. And companies keep trying to force it into everything, even when it makes their product infinitely worse. So damn annoying.

They won’t even think it’s caused by the Trump admin anyway, they’ll either blame Joe Biden or some other strawman.

The entire pc market is about to rocket off once again… And just at the moment Windows has been a bitch about Windows 10 support. Coincidence?

Yeah, that’s why I replaced the video card already. From what I’ve seen, the CPU is also doable if you’re careful but definitely a lot more fragile.

I’m one of them, my Cpu and motherboard are both almost 10 years old. I updated most other parts but don’t want to mess around with those core parts in fear of damaging something.

At the moment I’m either considering finally making the jump to a new case, motherboard and Cpu with the parts I replaced over the years or I will buy a steam machine.

I agree, I think it’s all about affordability and ease of use. If they can sell them for a nice price (somewhere around the price of a PS5 pro) and they’re easy to use I don’t see a reason why they wouldn’t sell. Hell, I might even buy one myself. I have a very old gaming pc (close to 10 years old now) and even though I’ve replaced some parts over the years (ram, GPU, storage), the core of it is still very outdated and it might almost be cheaper to switch to something like this then to upgrade my existing pc.

Is there more of her anywhere? I tried to find it but I guess my searching skills are lacking…

But stuff keeps leaking. If they somehow manage to block the release of the files, eventually most of (if not all) the files will be leaked I think. There’s not much happening in the white house that doesn’t leak at this point.

It’s starting to sound like some republican senators are actually standing up to him at times. You can question their motivations but it’s something I guess. I hope the vote for the Epstein files makes it all the way to his desk and then he has no choice. Release them and have everyone read about how guilty he is, or not release them and have everyone know that he’s guilty and hiding his crimes.

Go ahead and try but I think moving the dems back to their position during Obama’s presidency will take a mammoth effort by itself, let alone moving them to Mamdani levels of leftism. I would love to see it happen but the rot runs deep, especially at the top. There are so many dems that are heavily entrenched in their positions and as you can see, it only takes a few dems (9 if you include Schumer who most likely came up with this “deal”) to ruin the party holding out in hope of better things.
