  • Bernie Sanders urges progressives to vote Democratic in November

    Jump

  • Well see I voted for the democrats before and look where we are now, things are worse than ever!

    Surely he answer is to protest about Gaza outside Democrat events.

    This will send a clear message to everyone that I'm a leftist.

  • Google Earth’s New AI Lets Anyone Fabricate Completely Bullshit Satellite Images

    Jump

  • It's intended use was misinformation but perhaps not in the way you imagine.

    Rather than producing credible images, these sorts of projects undermine actual credible images.

    For example, if you're team zion, then when shown images of how devastating Israel's attack on Gaza has been you can just disregard them as "probably fake".

    "Oh pish posh, a child can create these images on google maps".

  • Boomers on Facebook Are Leaving Comments That Make It Clear That They Have No Idea That AI-Generated Thirst Traps Aren't Real

  • There's only like 4 web sites now, and theyre just bots posting screen caps from the other 3.

  • Reddit stock tumbles the most on record as lack of new AI deals, US daily users metric disappoints

    Jump

  • Doubtful. It was inevitable that they would do that eventually.

    Users using old.reddit are undoubtedly the least valuable users.

    They wouldn't turn it off for everyone all at once in order to avoid creating a large number of upset users all at once.

  • Nah, I think that when Trump won, reddit and other platforms realised there was no need to pretend to be apolitical or balanced.

  • It really is sick.

    I guess they probably think it's fair game given that so much of the Epstein stuff was private at one time.

  • Anthropic was having FOMO with OpenAI getting all the attention so they let Claude out to play

  • Sorry, with the greatest respect, this is incorrect.

    Here in Australia you can register a company by paying the regulator fees of about $600 AUD (about half a weeks average wage). Thereafter you can start selling pizzas anjoying the limited liability of your corporate structure.

    There are of course exceptions and caveats, notably your landlord will almost certainly ask for a personal guarantee - so you have to pay the lease even if the company goes tits up, but that's mitigated by your ability to assign the lease to another tenant if you wish.

    You might be thinking of publicly listed companies which are listed on the stock exchange. Those are subject to a much higher level of scrutiny and rigorous regulation which is indeed out of reach of "mum and dad" businesses, but that's not a requirement for limited liability.

    Of course, plenty of people don't bother talking to a CPA before starting a business, or a company may be inadvisable for whatever reason, and they end up trading without a corporate trading structure, and have no limited liability.

  • If you could have a small farm, what would you grow/keep?

    Jump

  • It depends of you want money or satisfaction?

    If it's money then the answer is going to be boring: find a cash crop that grows and sells well in your area and grow that. Here it's garlic.

    If it's satisfaction then IDK honestly. Probably a bike track for my kids. I'd grow veggies but avoid livestock.

  • If you could have a small farm, what would you grow/keep?

    Jump

  • Mushroom growing is more or less industrial, like in specialised "greenhouses".

    Truffles are low-yield by area.

    Jump

  • The same way you introduce a law penalising the c-suite: you pretty much can't.

    As I mentioned in my comment, the US has a "captured state" meaning that governments don't represent the interests of people, they represent the interests of corporations and capital.

    That might change temporarily in a time of upheaval - like a revolution level event. Until then, you're cooked.

  • What's up with "the diary" ?

    Did it include personal stuff unrelated to his work? Or was it more like a professional's notebook?

  • Anthropic was having FOMO with OpenAI getting all the attention so they let Claude out to play

    Jump

  • I thought I kind of implied that?

    There's risk in any business. Being smart and working hard isn't enough. Sometimes you just at get unlucky.

    I know fediverse users hate corporations, and there's a lot to hate, but the idea of individuals protecting themselves from those risks is a critical element of a modern economy.

  • Anthropic was having FOMO with OpenAI getting all the attention so they let Claude out to play

    Jump

  • Nah. With rules like this, no one could ever do anything. I mean the pizza shop on the corner couldn't operate. Who would risk their home (if they're lucky enough to have one) just to not make any money running a restaurant?

    Directors et cetera can be held accountable for criminal negligence with the current rules, it's just that they rarely are, because we have a "captured state" - a government and judicial arm that's terrified of upsetting the corporations that get them elected.

    The solution IMO is disallowing corporate campaign donations, and capping personal donations. Also harsher penalties for the corporations themselves, rather than just "cost of doing business" penalties.

    What’s the psychology behind enjoying immersing yourself in negativity online?

    Jump

  • Our lizard brains don't care about positivity or negativity - any kind of engagement produces dopamine.

    Maybe it's just a conditioned response. It takes more effort to say something constructive than it does to be snarky.

  • Seriously, who are these peoplem?

    Jump

  • Meh. I can see both sides.

    I've always struggled with interactions. Didn't like it as a kid.

    That said, I often wish I'd learned more about how to behave in polite company, because what seems obvious to others is not obvious to me.

    With my own kids, I certainly don't "force them" to hug creepy old people, but encouraging them to greet acquaintances is just part of the normal things you teach kids because saying hello to people is not in fact intuitive.

    Honestly, if having to hug grandma when you were a kid even though she had a weird mustache is the worst thing that happened to you, then things were pretty good right?
