Reminder that Starlink is the internet equivalent to the Hyperloop.

There are untold billions that the government gave out as subsidies to increase internet speeds across the nation and bring internet to everyone across the U.S. Which mysteriously vanished.

All the while now Elon has been promising vaporware and bullshit, as he usually does while Tech Bros, billionaires and the media gobble it up.

You're joking, but give it a few months to a year.

This will be a republican talking point for doing away with public schools.

I know the article is seemingly hopeful. But that's 30% of the time they don't need an employee.

In its most recent cost-cutting measures in November, the company laid off roughly 17% of its global full-time employees as well as reducing its monthly expenditures.

AI is not a revolution for the working class, and it never will be. I'm tired of having this argument that 'I don't understand AI' or that 'It's good for humanity.'

It's good for capitalists and that's fucking it. Cheap and compliant labor is all they fucking want. If they can replace you with a bot that will do the work basically for free, they will.

This isn't rocket science, nor is it unprecedented. This idea that "AI will save us" is about as true as "Arbeit Macht Frei".

AI will be used to undervalue your labor, and push you to beg to deregulate just to be able to survive.

Sounds like ChatGPT is acting it's wage.

That plan to replace the workforce with cheap AI isn't going to work out.

yes but it doesn't always feel like it.

LinkedIn feels like Uncanny Valley social media.

Like there are Alternates there trying to imitate human interactions.

'LinkedIn'

LinkedIn is as much Social Media as talking with your manager is Socializing.

It's really plastic and fake feeling there, more so than anywhere else.

If only there were a way for people to take an automated vehicle from A to B safely and consistently.

Shame no one has ever designed one of those before.

And it’s a damn shame no one has ever designed such a thing on multiple occasions only for it to be shut down by bullshit dreams of a nonsense technology only devised to maintain a transport monopoly that depends on people spending the equivalent of a small house every 10 or so years.

Except the other drivers on the road aren't all in Teslas, yet they are non-consentually and possibly even unknowingly a part of this experiment.
