I hear you. I agree that union busting is bad. I support trader joes employees unionizing. I don’t want their stores to close and those employees to be out of a job.

Trader Joe’s, aldi, and small private stores from now on. Go fuck yourselves Kroeger.

No. In the non sales world, I’ve built some really cool solutions for clients.

I work for a consulting company and they’re truly going off the deep end pushing consultants to sell this miracle solution. They are now doing weekly product demos and all of them are absolutely useless hype grifts. It’s maddening.

Absolutely has been my experience. It’s actually slowed me down because of the slop it tends to throw in there as part of the hallucinations.

You gotta make up for a lack of innovation but just price gouging customers on absolutely everything. I only have Spotify because of the radio function but otherwise all of these services are absolute dog shit. They don’t offer anything new. They’ve just created a new set of moats for features, songs, videos, television and games. Eventually this system has to collapse because treating customers like employees that have no choice but to stay will lead people to innovate on piracy.

It’s a better prediction model. There’s no reasoning because it’s not understanding anything you’re typing. We’re not closer to general ai.

Same experience. It can serve as a starting point but usually I have to sift through so many bad answers until something usable is made available.

Everyone is trying to cash in before it all collapses because big tech has just turned into what I dub as hype hopping since they have no good ideas.

“AI” and google pushing ads into the search has made search virtually unusable.

Mfer can’t even deliver the $25k Tesla. You think he’s going to deliver the most powerful AI? Lol. I got some snake oil to sell you.

It’s the Elon Musk narrative making we’ve been seeing over and over again. It’s hype. They’re about to run out of input data because they’ve sucked up everything they could. The Internet is being fed a bunch of bad results that come from LLM produced output which enshittifies the Internet further. These companies are burning cash and grid energy while the world burns. Unless there’s a spectacular breakthrough, this can’t keep going on much longer.

There’s a British medical journal called lancet that estimates the deaths at 186,000. Remember. The death counts stopped changing much in like February or March because Israel destroyed the Gaza Health ministry which is responsible reporting.

Yes it was…

Luckily very few people use Facebook.

Shut up. No it’s not.

GoodRx or something like it was used. Welcome to the man in the middle scam that makes people think they’re getting a good deal when in reality, they pay for insurance but insurance makes it so costly to use their insurance that people have to pay for it out of pocket or with an HSA but can’t apply the cost to their annual deductible. This is a win win for insurance companies and patients get screwed. I hate the US healthcare system so much from spending time interacting with it from the perspective of work and personally.

I’m Russian and Russian food is like that too. We don’t natively mess with spice at all.

Denmark doesn’t know how to spice food so it tracks.

Wait so will he ban Android because they have Gemini?
