  • I'm getting real sick of the headlines. "Science company says AI will be used to Re-Write the human genome, and identify future Terrorists for the CIA with only random lists of birth certificates, while it designs a 3D printable human heart that has built in wifi controls with 100% police access!"

  • Just saying

  • Didn't you hear? That's the problem! The prices must always go up. For the quarterly growth!

  • Agreed, the 'sexy' outfits were pretty dumb.

  • They had to give Riker a reason to hate his guts to hell and back. And forcing him to organize and force his staff to do four shift rotations with no justification was pretty brilliant as a motivation.

  • Yeah she had a lot more demand as a perform because she only worked theater beforehand and she knew what her worth was, and people tend to hate that. Shatner did a pretty good BTS doc on TNG and the kind of weird power plays that went on that even Patrick Stewart was occasionally the target of. This period of TV production was a real high pressure environment and people had careers given and broken over pretty minor shit.

  • It's the pilot or first episode when you watch it on streaming all remastered and high Def and there's scenes where they clearly had trouble position the camera to avoid a tv-ma rating, that original outfit was so short. It's also rough she still had a lot of trauma from basically being used by the industry for sex appeal and noting else. But at least Star Trek had men in the background in the same length mini skirt.

  • They really can't read a historically nationalistic and growing back into it at an alarming rate nation? If they want something out of Japan I don't think aggressive posturing is going to be a very strong lever.

  • The Wall Street Journal Gets Community Noted For Saying Gen Zers And Millennials Are 'Splurging On Rotisserie Chickens'

    Jump

  • The article also points out that grocery stores price rotisserie chicken at very aggressive prices because it's a great way to get people to come into the store and walk past everything else in the hopes they'll pick up some more items. So the stores know they're selling them at a very low price, that's an engagement model.

  • Yes, that's correct, it's not an issue of legal liability, it's an issue of their interests converging. the CEO holds stock, he is a stock holder, and the execs are stock holders, they don't need any motivation to put the stocks first, they know where their interests converge, and precious few executives make more money in salary than they take away in stocks, in practicality, every corporation that offers stocks is stock focused, the is why we had daily and weekly meetings in retail stores on the absolute bottom of the ladder to talk primarily about stock prices, and why the main information displayed on price guns is the sale price/cost/ current quarter sales/last quarter sales/and last year to date quarter sales, and the sales numbers daily/monthly/quarterly are what you see posted around the office, it's always about beating last year to date numbers, and last quarter's numbers, and what always drove me fucking nuts is that the store made TWENTY TWO MILLION FUCKING DOLLARS in profit, but "your store is failing because you didn't make twenty two million and one penny. they don't care that we were making money hand over fist, because that's not the game. that game is dead. don't worry. they'll still cut payroll, and you can't like... spend that money or keep that money, but it doesn't matter. it only maters if it makes the stocks move. it's stocks all the way down. because that's where the interests converge. also as a side note, golden parachutes are an internal security measure against hostile take over, it means if someone does successfully raid your business and performs a hostile takeover, they have to pay your executives staff when they fire them and loot the company more money than the company could be looted for. it's never actually intended to be paid out.

  • it's why capitalism is over. they do not care about making a profit at all. they only care about the stocks. there is only one outcome to this approach, and that's dissolving the company slowly until it fails because your willing to saw your legs off for a small spike in quarterly earning. You eventually run out of legs to saw off.

  • I hope they sue whoever sold it to them. it's not artificial intelligence, it's a machine learning chat bot. they may as well be running their company with a magic eight ball.

  • Research done by anti-lynching groups of that time period found that the majority of lynching victimes were owed money by white folks, usually as sharecroppers, and expected to be paid said money.
