@anodyne I am of the opinion that AI and UBI need to be a package deal. This kind of thing is only going to get worse as AI gets better. UBI or rejection of AI will be the only viable options.
Hope this isn't the company you work for and all's well with you.
100% on UBI. I work in tech, but not for Block. So, for today, I'm fine. Thanks.

@StarsSuck I was drafted and went for my pre induction physical at the famed,of Alice's Restaurant, Whitehall Street pre induction Center. That was pretty scary. Ended up failing the physical.

@Jett129 Hope they didn't send you to the "Group W" bench

@sabergirl I’m on board with this.

@popvulture really glad I read that yesterday. My phone updated last night and if I’d not been lucky enough to read your comment yesterday I’d have had a nightmare trying to figure that out
thank you! -
@sabergirl Energy use or the cost. Every company is losing money and economies of scale don't work for AI.

@DeeDee85 you bet! Software updates almost always suck, usually some engineer trying to make things "better" just because it makes sense to them, regardless of how it might be for other people. It's nice when they do offer you some way to go back to the way it was before they fucked it up.

@Xavras all of the above! This garbage tech is just a circle-jerk if five corporations in a trench coat! I hope that all go catastrophically broke before they cause the speed the heat death of all life as we know it.
We have only ourselves to blame if it also tanks the world economy.

Recent world events have exposed pathological aggression, greed, megalomania, and a low level of culture in people. Every little king is a Napoleon. What's stopping us from living and communicating harmoniously? Buying jeans from each other and wearing them together. Visiting friends and drinking tea. Politics is a gathering of scoundrels.

@Bridger I haven't been to a rock concert in seven years. The last band to come to us was Nazareth, in 2019. Then came this damned COVID, and then a small war of madmen.
-
Let's hope this shitshow ends soon @Walery-Smirnoff and you can get back to rockin' my friend.

@Bridger Music is always with me. By the way, until they cut off our internet, I listen to American and English music on the radio. Local music makes me sick.
