Maybe we should be clearer. Jobs aren’t at risk from AI. They’re at risk from amoral shitbag short term spec capitalists using AI against a weakly unionised workforce and broken government.

Also AuDHD, I feel like I'm tuned to a different frequency than you, but still end up in plenty of "thank goodness I have both of these conditions and not just one" situations

Holy shit

I've been copying the same Winamp 2.8 install from computer to computer to computer for the last 25 years.

It's perfect! Does everything I want it to, doesn't do anything I *don't* want it to.

Yeah, exactly. Rules-lawyering your relationship is a bad place to be.

Oh, it's definitely getting to me

A healthy film industry makes sleazy movies. Weird, borderline kink films are like coal mine canaries- they're offensive, often deeply personal, and a foil to the clean blandness of big budget propaganda. A lack of bizarre "not to everyone's taste" films is an indicator of a sickly studio ecosystem.

I am awake, by accident, because I have some work-related insomnia.

My bet is Tim is awake, on Purpose, to watch a UK byelection in which Greens knocked Labour to THIRD place, for a seat (riding?) that Labour had won since the 1930s.

We Are Not The Same

(With love, @djdynamic.ca ! ❤️ )

Wow the Brits I follow are posting very excitedly!

( Sees "Reposted by Tim Ellis" )

Geez dude, @djdynamic.ca , when DO you sleep?

I am in Canada, not the UK. But we also have the problem of "the two entrenched parties feeling entitled to power". I hate it.

Reading that Labour got their ass handed to them by Greens in a byelection is life-giving!

It's 4:14am here; the news made being unable to sleep "worth it".

If I had invented the retinal scanner I probably would've said something like "It's for checking Eye D lol" and then my investors would've drowned me in a toilet.

Freaks fundamentally understand People Are Different, which puts them at least a step ahead of folks who think everyone else is the same as themselves.

YUP.

Weird weather (even cold weather) due to climate change is pillow-talk in my relationship, for reasons.

I was trying to affirm your point "wow it's awfully early to stoke the annual AC wars".

But I can see how my post could be read as a "the planet's not warning!" crank. (Sorry.)

Isn't Time magazine headquartered in New York City City?

Didn't New York City have a historic blizzard just this week?

yes

because plenty of folks I've met who have lots of personality also have lots of self-doubt.

Oh my gods.

I knew you had a way with words, but DAMN that thread was worth a read (your half, at least).

If someone roasted me like that I think I might put my phone down and go outside a bit.

There should be a sport where they get two teams of a dozen capybaras each and they have extremely high energy announcers give a play by play analysis of what they are all doing.

Maybe toss in a few tortoises and cats, or some goats.

It looks like you had an all-star lineup!

(Says my chronically-online-poisoned brain)

Congratulations on the success! A model which could be repeated for future "alternative events", I hope!

"surge pricing" but instead of price gouging, it's "surge wages" when you need a lot of labour to handle an emergency

Looks like the result is great — you've got clear paths and people have money to spend

Some friends of mine made a folk song about a similar incident; maybe it'll resonate with you

It's amazing how well government can work, when the people elected to office WANT government to work.

I try not to post about American politics too much but I think the principle is true up here, too!

The best thing I can say about X Men 3 is the experience saved me from seeing Spiderman 3.
