I think the most horrifying thing about the #AGI craze is the eagerness with which business owners race toward what they believe will bring about the end of human civilization.
They don't know that “#AI” isn't actually intelligent and can't actually replace people, but they think it can, they must know that replacing everyone with machines will result in basically everyone starving to death, and they WANT that. They're speedrunning it.
Hi @freemo, questions about dealing with federation from more commercial entities:
█Can it be possible to continue as it is now and then opt-in from preferences? To switch on per user each as the main thing to do with federating with BlueSky and Thread.net.
Perhaps more will come but these 2 for now since they are especially commercial / less like Mastodon.
An all or nothing switch, started "off" first to continue without being embedded / scraped, and then each user decides to change, not not.
So before more happens with more commercial versions of Mastodon etc (essentially making for hybrid Fediverse perhaps), I would le want to see if those 2 things were possible?
US CDC: "Americans who test positive for the coronavirus no longer need to routinely stay home from work and school for five days under new guidance planned by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention."
“Public health has to be realistic, In making recommendations to the public today, we have to try to get the most out of what people are willing to do.”
Why be right and do your job when you can be "realistic," instead?
@nixCraft I did the exact same thing after they stupidly called everyone back into the office. No more after-hours phone calls, texts or emails. And if it happens on a Friday, it waits until Monday. Eat a dick, assholes. They can lie in that bed they made. #GREED
When I was in my early 20’s, I hustled my ass off. I worked 2 jobs and a side hustle. I drank 8 cups of coffee a day and popped No Doz pills to work at night.
And then I burned the fuck out. And crashed hard.
And it wasn’t worth it.
There’s a lot of folks who will tell you: “grind to the point of exhaustion. Chase wealth and rest later. Make work your only religion.”
That advice is poison. It will leave you broken and hurt and tired and alone.
How do you boycott the endless #greed of large food co's causing massive and unlimited environmental and human #health damage for #palmoil? Go #palmoilfree and boycott Colgate-Palmolive, Ferrero and Nestle!
“according to the Japanese functional food register, the consumption of the tomatoes is not recommended for pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers and small children”
NEW: GOP Sen. Chuck Grassley casts doubt on the tax bill
"Passing a tax bill that makes the president look good — mailing out checks before the election — means he could be re-elected, and then we won’t extend the 2017 tax cuts."
I try to avoid gratuitous profanity when posting publicly, but FUCK THIS!
In my situation: a national retail chain, an insurance company & a property management company - 3 entities that have nothing to do with my healthcare - are racing for their share of the racket controlling my healthcare.
I hope this bullshit will move more Canadians towards the NDP, because the Liberals are auctioning off the working class without a fuck to give.
Musk's $55B Tesla pay pkg is voided by a Delaware judge after a shareholder challenged it as excessive, a ruling that takes a giant bite out of Musk’s wealth.
Decision means that >5 years after Tesla's co-founder was granted the largest exec comp. plan in history.
The SHLDR plaintiff claimed that Tesla, Inc.’s directors breached their fiduciary duties by awarding Musk a performance-based equity-comp. plan⬇️.
you all should read this fascinating paper about #limitarianism, which is the ethical argument that it is immoral & anti-democracy for any one individual or family to possess too much wealth/riches
Rs brought #Greed first: America has devolved from being a relatively open market economy & a functioning democracy into a largely monopolistic one with a bought-off pol system. When Bork said the only thing that mattered was the price to the consumer & SHLDR’s profits he never considered: value of good food freshly made in a local restaurant as opposed to things arriving from across the country-.
