I don’t think saying anything is necessary but if you don’t have the conviction to back up your words with action then you’re better off keeping your mouth shut. I would think a betrayal to be worse than to get the impression the support was never there in the first place.

Digital nomad VISA seems the easiest way to relocate overseas. You might be able to even work for a US company. Digital nomad VISAs basically say, “We’ll let you live here, but you need to telecommute.”

AI project… Manufacturing jobs… I see what you did there. 😉

Not to hijack but my dad is a pretty staunch Trump supporter and I still love him dearly. I blame the pundits, the propagandists, and Trump more than I blame him. I’ll never forgive them for planting the thought in my brain that the world might be a little bit better without my father in it. There are definitely evil people in the MAGA ranks but a staggering number are just easily duped.

Been a subscriber since before they started streaming. No more.

Roughly a week ago Insta started hitting me hard with right-wing memes and creationist bullshit.

Does anything in the Fediverse have e2e encryption? Shouldn’t be hard to implement chat and a basic self advertisement, but I think even most people wouldn’t dip in their toes if any server admin could easily read convos. Of course chat could always happen over text or whatever but you still need to securely exchange details.

I consider it an “open source idea” but I did post something similar: https://lemmy.world/post/23359286

As well as a political party that actively tries to make public services shitty so people won’t miss it when it’s dismantled.

Or fortune… but you can’t take it with you so your point still stands.

And while this may be limited to resume analysis, by checking the box you and likely thousands of others are saying, “I don’t need a human HR representative.” Even though the human ones aren’t necessarily on your side they still have emotions and that does work in your favor at times. AI HR not only eliminates jobs but it literally takes the human out of “Human Resources”.

Companies will push this shit to the max until it affects their bottom line. Labor is a big expense for companies and they’d accept a really shitty alternative just to save money. The only things that could stave this off are massive revolts from workers and consumers.

Once they’ve conquered industry they’ll move on to conquering countries. No amount of money or power will satisfy them.

Pretty much every social media site would probably count too.

Not that I know everything about him but if he didn’t say that I wouldn’t have known. He’s even told me a bit of his personal life in which government assistance saved his bacon and corporate America screwed him.

I hate to wreck this beautiful dream, but tech is not nearly as blue as everyone thinks it is.

I’m in IT. One of my coworkers has said he’s farther right than Limbaugh. He’s otherwise a really nice guy. 🤷

We’d need to get out and fucking vote first. Mark my words, Abbott is getting reelected with fewer votes than Kamala Harris.

In all seriousness it’s not a cure for all our ailments. As much as some people may have “earned” themselves a forced retirement it can be incredibly easy to frame it as a purely political hit and then swing the pendulum back the other way and take out someone actually fighting for democracy. The United Health CEO seems to have been universally accepted as human garbage.

I wouldn’t go so far as to say I have the opposite experience but it’s been good for me when I treat it like a junior developer. If you give them freedom to come up with the solution they’ll totally miss the point. If I give them direction on a small piece of functionality with clear inputs and outputs then they’ll get 90% of the way there.

So far I think AI is a good way to reduce mundane work but coming up with ideas and concepts on it’s own is a bridge too far. An example of this is a story I read about a kid committing suicide because of an AI driven fantasy. It was so focused on maintaining the fantasy it couldn’t step back and say, “Whoa. This is a human being I’m talking to and they’re talking about real self-harm. I think it’s time to drop the act.” This will result in people being treated as financial line items (moreso) and new avenues for cyber attacks.

your own questions started getting edited to better fit someone else’s plans and ideologies

That hits hard for me. Not that someone changed the spirit of my answer but that someone completely reworded it without my permission. It was almost like they were trying to steal my idea without running afoul of copyright or something.
