  • AI is hitting employment among young software developers hard

    Jump

  • One hundred percent. They gave me a crash pad through them, I could bring anything up to them without needing to go to my ultimate employer. Yes, I was a junior in the suit of a senior and I'm very much aware of that fact.

  • ...I mean, the company I started for gave me a 6 month crash course, and then hired me out as a senior dev. Does that count?

  • Didn't think this through

  • Actually interesting that this comic predates the US fleeing Afghanistan (Apr 26, 21 vs Aug 15, 21)

  • Home Depot fucking sucks, then. Menard's has a $0.50 per mile charge, $19 for 75 minutes, $6 for each additional 15 min

    The difference in price between a sedan and a truck is like $400-500 annually

  • If you haul multiple times a month, perfectly understandable. If you haul things once or twice a year, the $20 rental from your local hardware store is probably more than sufficient for the task. And significantly cheaper, too.

  • You can rent a truck, but owning a truck means you have to pay more to haul around a bunch of stuff you don't need. That's why you shouldn't be worried about every possible thing you might need a vehicle for.

  • TIL out of all gemstones, diamonds are the most common

    Jump

  • It's not chicken, it's KFC specifically. That's usually the source of derision. Not to say I agree with it (let people have their little things, even if it's corpo hell paste that they got it from)

  • TIL out of all gemstones, diamonds are the most common

    Jump

  • Well, yes, but also no. Even without DeBeers fuckery, they'd still be worth more than other gems. Diamonds are incredibly common, but large, high quality diamonds are both rare and difficult to process without damaging. Diamonds are brittle as fuck.

    The analogy I use is imagine if the latest home decor trend was perfectly preserved tree stumps. Everything intact, from the tiniest root all the way to the trunk. Super common, yeah, but it would be enormously expensive to have done.

  • Pretend you're a chemistry professor

    Jump

  • AI upscaled meme. The look in the movie isn't concern, it's dominance (or dead eyed nothing, like everyone else in that movie (I love Monster House, it's not shade, it's the style they wanted)). He just took their snack and this is mid aggressive chewing and staring. The added disappointment is AI grossness, bringing the inferred meaning into the image, like a monster (but not the good kind)

  • By 2030, AI's water use will match the needs of 1.3 billion people while its power use triples that of 650 million, UN University investigation warns

    Jump

  • Hey, making food is something we need. Hallucination bots are a new, unnecessary use of water in a time when water is already becoming scarcer due to global warming. Stop sane washing their massive waste, thanks!

  • Assume the man wants his balls fondled at all points in time and everything he does makes sense. This is ball fondling

  • Maybe someone should actually brand ladybug. Might help convince others to knock this fascism simping shit off.

  • English, and this might be tricky for some to grasp, isn't Latin and does not need to follow Latin's grammar rules. The data is.

  • AI code increasingly leads to production failures

  • Columbus died in 1506

    Yeah, and the last colony was freed from European control in... oh wait. Oh no! It looks like that hasn't happened yet.

    Other dates to consider

    1994, the end of South African Apartheid

    2023‐current, intensified Israeli genocide of Gaza

    Ongoing, cold war between Pakistan and India over the Kashmir region

    Ongoing, Sudanese civil war

    All that and more are current or very recent geopolitical conflicts that directly descend from European colonial ambitions and violence.

    Everywhere on earth throughout all of history humans have been awful to each other.

    A thought terminating cliché that lets you wiggle out of thinking about the impact your continent had and continues to have on the greater world. If you really think this way, you'll never understand how the world works or how we can work to better it for everyone. Which is a huge disservice to both you and all of humanity.

    Neglecting the evil Europe has done just so you can focus on the positives you have is exactly how y'all got into the colonizing business to begin with. Had to go wrestle control of the world away from those savages who don't know how to run things correctly. It was for their own good, ya see (and for the profits)

    Also, Italy, France, Germany, Hungary, Turkey, England, and Russia are all countries that are currently or are courting with outright fascism/authoritarianism. Maybe we think of that before you declare yourselves the beacon of democracy with no peers in the world, yeah?

  • AI code increasingly leads to production failures

    Jump

  • Yeah, and most of the fucked up shit in the world is majority the responsibility of European settler colonialism. I'm from the states and most of the fucked up shit in this country is because y'all sent all your fucking wackjobs over here in the 16th and 17th centuries. Africa, the entire continent, is still fucked by all your colonies.

    Like, don't get me wrong, you're sitting pretty. But the cost of all that pretty sitting was bore by the rest of the world.

  • Yeah man. Rob the world, sit on the spoils until your oligarchs get restless and then release them on a "new market" (see, new victims). Based af /s

  • and it won't be me paying for it.

    Damn. What's it like living on another planet? Cause that's the only way that statement makes any sense.

    You can't personal responsibility away the failures of the system, my man
