18 billion yearly profit last I checked.

Not enough.

Never enough.

No one does that.

Because they can be slotted in to work existing machinery without retooling the entire plant.

Working long solo sessions of people leaving me the fuck alone tends to be correlated with me getting projects done.

Wouldn’t know, have ublock.

8gb of RAM? What year is this?

What media is an LLM going to be able to reproduce that I can’t already reproduce with a copy paste?

They are more efficient than pure ICE vehicles though in most situations.

At low speed and city driving the regenerative breaking can make a 30mpg motor into a 50-60 mpg motor.

I drove one for awhile and the efficiency is noticable.

Good. Influencers are a plague.

Stormlight Archives vibes.

It’s well documented that the leadership of both sides had some difficulty getting their soldiers to go back to fighting after the truce.

The average soldier did not want to fight. Leadership had to threaten charges of desertions and treason to get them back to fighting.

I’ll tell you that it’s super nice to be able to watch things with other people in the car while you are all waiting on the car to charge.

Also, you don’t have to hold a phone and the screen is better.

It’s being a realist.

If I have to drag you through a task because you aren’t capable of doing it then it’s easier to just not give it to you to begin with and do it myself.

I am not qualified to help you with your issues.

Either find a way to work through your issues or don’t take on responsibilities that you can’t handle.

I know it sounds harsh, but I don’t have the tools to help you myself.

That’s not really an answer.

The things that make people feel/act this way are typically the really important stuff that has to get done or else there are consequences.

We can’t just accept ‘i just couldn’t’ in many of these situations.

My trick is melatonin and PBS YouTube videos, audio only. Ones I’ve seen before.

The audio is enough to keep my mind from running on it’s own and eventually the melatonin kicks in to take it down while it’s distracted by dinosaurs or whatever.

Melatonin on it’s own will just make me suffer being tired but not able to rest my mind enough to fall asleep.

Listening to something interesting like an audiobook will do the same.

It needs to be something that will catch my attention but also not be something I really want to hear more of.

Music doesn’t keep my mind from wandering like speech does.

I think the feature is cool and I’m looking forward to it personally.

Maybe they should have made it opt in, but social features like this on other platforms like discord and stream aren’t, so … eh.

It’s just so hard to see where we transition from here.

We went from a resource economy to a manufacturing economy to a service economy… And now many services are being automated. So what’s next?

I’m in favor of the automation but recognize it’s going to cause pain in the near future.

I’ve seen people tout a ‘creative based economy’, but to be honest LLMs and GANs seen poised to grab that sector before anyone in service can transition to it.

You’d hope all of this would mean an easier life, but so long as capitalism is the name of the game there is zero incentive to spread the benefits among all.

Headline is still accurate.

Target practice a battle does not make.
