  • Yeah, when you build the hoops you must jump through to maintain your livelihood to be based on a publication machine is it any surprise people gameify it and exploit what they can

  • Yeah, this is a hot take: I think it’s totally fine if researchers who have done their studies and collected their data want to use AI as a language tool to bolster their paper. Some researchers legitimately have a hard time communicating, or English is a second language, and would benefit from a pass through AI enhancement, or as a translation tool if they’re more comfortable writing in their native language. However, I am not in favor of submitting it without review of every single word, or using it to synthesize new concepts / farm citations. That’s not research because anybody can do it.

  • lol it’s like c++ but we removed friend classes and other bullshit no one uses lol

  • (Adding my soap box here, not disagreeing with what you said)

    Vote with your wallet and habits (and your vote). With the exception of maybe AI, most of those things are produced by the companies because people want them. They’re not just doing it for fun. I realize many of those things are essentials that you can’t readily decline in our society which is where the government regulation would ideally kick in. (And if it doesn’t we should hold our leaders accountable)

    I know that individual responsibility is a corporate defection to avoid corporate responsibility but the other extreme of no personal accountability (“10 companies account for 90% of emissions, it’s their fault!”) isn’t exactly the correct stance either. We should all work to minimize our impacts, make green choices when mildly more inconvenient green alternatives exist. If companies can’t make money polluting they will adapt. And if we foster a social environment where it’s socially commendable to make those personal choices then the ecological awareness of the average voter goes up and the political situation gets better faster.

  • Deleting 107k lines of code is so much more based than adding 107k lines

  • “We are literally turning into a nazi country”

    “Chin up kiddo, it probably won’t be that bad!”

  • “You’re not allowed to say anything these days! Next they’ll come for me!”

    Bro if what they’re saying about rapists and harassers means they’ll come for you then you are a bad person and they should come for you. But probably also you’re just victim complexing and nobody is going to accuse of anything other than being an annoying ass

  • Oh yeah? Name ONE ape that wrote Shakespeare. Go on I’ll wait

  • Comedy has become an act of airing social grievances (maybe always has been but definitely amplified these days) and thus peoples inherently political social grievances are going to sort them into their respective camps.

    If the problems you’re facing and exposing are “the big man is keeping me down” you’re gonna find solidarity in that message and if your problems are “those people are gross and I don’t like them” only other people who have similar obsession with ordering society into groups of chosen people vs undesirables will respond to your message.

  • Corporations aren’t people, they don’t have deadnames or pronouns. Fire away

  • Also applies to misogyny in general. You can call out terfs (or just regular anti trans conservative women) for being bigoted shit faces without resorting to gendered attacks.

  • Most companies have software to identify what you’ve copied to an external drive as well.

  • Don’t bcc your personal email, the internal mail servers can see everything even if the recipients don’t. Better to just screencap when possible.

  • Idaho looks at those lists for the worst state in the union and say “we gotta pump those numbers up”

  • I have wondered a similar question… Is the trend that young men who are raised in a republican environment / family / culture aren’t leaving it at the same rate as their predecessors? Or is it that more young men raised in a liberal / apolitical environment are being captured by the right wing internet pipeline?

    I would guess that in previous generations, kids are raised about 50/50 to match their parents beliefs (who are roughly 50/50 conservative or liberal) and the significant dominance of liberal youth vote was attributable to kids leaving that ideology behind as they form their own beliefs, reenforced by peer effects. But I’ve wondered if tiktok and other new social dysfunction of current generations has made it easier for kids raised in that 50/50 to just “stay” where they were raised.

    Perhaps it could all be explained by the weakening of the ability of peer effects to influence young people’s political beliefs. Young men feel they have more community in online conservative spaces than they do in their more egalitarian real world social environments, so instead of ditching their parents beliefs to match their real world friends they ditch their real world friends that don’t match their beliefs.

  • Thanks I get it now 🙌🏼

  • Someone explain the joke pls

  • My favorite part was when Hank showed up, deadpanned the fourth wall, and said “I guess that means junior is… braking bad” and then schradered all over the place while maintaining eye contact with the camera

  • There is no contradiction. Anyone can put their foot in their mouth or trip up what they’re saying. Doesn’t mean they are casual or even rare users of racial slurs. My point is If somebody is saying something racist it’s easy enough to criticize that without resorting to pointing out they used one phoneme of a bad word. It just sounds petty and it doesn’t at all speak to the people that need convincing that the rhetoric around immigrants is unacceptable. Do you want to feel superior or do you want to win?
