  It could be different but that is what the companies are stating as their operational life span when they report their financials. They used to say they would only last 4 years…

  I agree people are selfish but I disagree on where that leads us. Acting as a collective is the best way to be selfish. Billionaires have their collectives: corporations; and if you don’t do the same then you are not even selfish, you are just cattle.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When the AI bubble bursts..⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Haven’t seen this mentioned yet: the RAM they are making for these AI chips are built to burn up after 6 years. The RAM is built into the processing units to reduce latency but the whole unit is designed with short planned obsolescence so burning out after 5-6 years is expected. The assumption is that by the time they burn up they you will replace them with a more energy efficient unit.

  How exactly was it brilliant of him to say Mamdani can call him a fascist?

  Apply this logic to the hospitality industry, where Trump famously got his start. Your hotel hosts dignitaries around the world. If you find out one of your guests invited prostitutes or did drugs you could have leverage over some very powerful people. If there is sewage surveillance, you will see it at the hotels first.

  Being right isn’t as important as doing right. I have better things to do with my time, unlike marketers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨School pickup lines are wild⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The truck says “War” on it. This is why voucher schools exists, so that I, as a parent, don’t need to deal with this kind of parent and their kids.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨School pickup lines are wild⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Where I am at there’s triple digit hear warnings, so there is a logic to this. On the other I have used my bicycle to pick up my daughter under such conditions so it is possible, but then she rightfully complains about the heat.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Insuranace is a joke⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Needing to own a car to exist in society is a tax.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do people hate reality?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  With you on all but makeup. I don’t do it but I know enough to know it is an art form and I also know there’s a paradox of self-expression that is intertwined with camp and seduction. These things are not inherently bad, but they are destructive when they are commoditized so that we start to think we have to pay admission to express ourself

  Oh, you actually serious?

  I don’t care enough about this to debate his motives, I just know stupidity when I see it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨DEI, more like DIED⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Lol. That was good but you need to double down on the irony at the end or else people might think you’re serious. Maybe rift on him crossing state lines.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨An AI Social Coach Is Teaching Empathy to People with Autism⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Saying that you’re not worth the time to train someone to interact with you better but here’s a product you can buy is a platitude. You failed the empathy test.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨An AI Social Coach Is Teaching Empathy to People with Autism⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Additionally, AI will only be getting better,

  It might get cheaper, but that doesn’t mean it’s doing a better job.

  if the alternative is telling people that are struggling and have no other options that they have to tough it out

  That’s just it, if you’re talking to someone who’s is struggling with this there is already a better option: showing empathy. I suspect our perceived lack of empathy is a reflection of how society treats people in general, we are just more honest about it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨An AI Social Coach Is Teaching Empathy to People with Autism⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ll be honest, I find the framing of the study offensive and I’m not sure if I have the words but I’ll try.

  It’s less about this study comparing itself to no intervention instead of comparing to existing interventions, but the social context of AI being pushed as a way to make care giving more efficient while sacrificing quality.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨An AI Social Coach Is Teaching Empathy to People with Autism⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  half were assigned to use Noora for four weeks and half received no intervention.

  If only they gave a control group an off-the-shelf social game like LA Noire…

  Wishing you the best therapist she can find. “Integrated Family Systems” could be of help.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Help.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  … With whatever corporations is providing the bot. When the business decides to change the model or impose a technical limit that impacts their experience negatively, well you get the idea. There is a material, exploitive capital machine on the other end, and it wants your time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Across the pond there were families that took in those refugees, invited Dietrich to speak to congregations, and stored his letters he sent from prison. In short, we should echo the voices of dissent and give them material support if possible.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Dietrich Bonhoeffer was murdered by the SS because he didn’t stand idle as his country went full Nazi. He helped with multiple plots to assassinate Hitler, smuggled vulnerable people out of Germany and founded a church that rejected nazification that was later deemed illegal by the Mazis. The guy was a pastor. Do you honestly think he was dogshit for not doing enough?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Public transit in Chengdu, China versus Toronto, Canada⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Hukuo in modern China could be perceived as prioritizing the right to have a home over choosing to have none. “At what cost” includes homelessness and higher unemployment rates. We are quick to highlight where there is a lack of right in China but not how it reflects on our own lack of rights.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Public transit in Chengdu, China versus Toronto, Canada⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know about Canada but the USA has been pro-child factory work lately. China’s wages have been rising faster than expected so they have gone all-in on automation. So when I see people claim their stuff is cheap because of “slavery” or human rights, it reads like projection.
