At my company, a marketeer recently left to pursue another opportunity elsewhere. I cautiously probed if they might be looking for a replacement.

They weren’t. They just trained a local LLM on the hundreds of articles and copy texts she’d written, so she’s effectively been replaced by AI 1:1 .

All hail and farewell to Britain.

Every single new “innovation” is literally locked behind a paywall, sometimes multiple, in tiers. You can’t just “buy” anything anymore, you can only lease it, usually at exorbitant prices compared to not that long ago.

Butbutbut… Corbyn’s antisemitism…

By the end of this century Britons will have evolved a second asshole from being perpetually fucked from both the Right and the Left. Queue that “I wouldn’t say rescued, but under new management” meme…

I suppose Morhaime and Metzen have to wipe away a tear once in a while when they see their brainchild being violated in every possible way, but they can do so using fat wads of cash Harrelson-style, so I can’t say I feel the least bit sad for them. This is what happens when you prostitute your (and others’!) dreams to the highest bidder. I hope it was worth it.

Not built but they’re restarting and leasing the Three Mile Island reactor. You know, the one that almost caused Chernobyl 2.0 by partial meltdown.

What could possibly go wrong?

I mean, dystopian fiction has warned us about this for decades. Some of those companies are already more powerful than many nations, all we’re still missing is the private corporate militaries. But something tells me we’re real close to that reality as well.

As soon as more power can no longer be bought with cold hard cash, physical violence and power projection will inevitably follow.

Luckily, they were just orphans and widows, so no one will miss them /s.

Israel is now worse than Nazi Germany, because they do this shit openly and without shame (and repercussions).

Would be incredibly ironic if that thing melted down again and took MS’s datacenters with it.

The last console I owned was a megadrive and I still don’t feel I ever missed out on anything at all.

No, don’t stop reporting on this just because the other side is even more dirty. That kind of attitude is partly why we’re in this situation today.

They should all be held accountable, no matter which party.

More like a gnat in a manure pit. But do go on.

I have a 13-year old son I love more than life itself, and my greatest regret is bringing him into this world. It was not my place to create yet another source of suffering in this pit of eternal damnnation. I will definitely not make the same mistake again. Luckily I’m currently pretty much infertile.

Everything, considering we’ll be fighting each other over puddles of standing water in about two to three decades. Today’s life will seem like paradise in comparison, even for people who are currently suicidal.

O- here. I frequently get called up when the red cross needs donations. We don’t get paid either but it’s an hour I’m off work and it does save lives.

I’m pretty firmly in the second category only. I have had the first a few times, but when whatever thing you were so stoked about inevitably fries or fails a few weeks in, you quickly learn to stop doing #1 altogether.

The poorest one, most likely.

Suicide rates in Greenland are among the highest on the planet. It may seem idyllic but it’s apparently crushingly lonely and oppressive.
