Echo Dot

Oh we’ve built an AI data centre, as in a massive building in a major city centre has been constructed. Just like with you the AI doesn’t seem to have any defined task it just exists so the company can announce that it’s an AI company. Not a single person in management seems to have any idea what it might be used for, so I suspect it’s just going to sit there and do nothing.

There’s quite a lot of work that’s already been automated by various python scripts so it’s not even as if the AI is going to bring any automation to the table. Not that I would trust it anyway.

They have announced that as a result of this AI, they expect their profits to increase 4x despite the complete lack of any direction. Fun times ahead I am sure.

Also this one

It’s like this theme park they’re building in Bedford. They claim is going to create thousands of jobs. It will create some jobs for sure but they’re also including the IT support staff in that number, but they are contractors so they already have a job anyway.

The Labour party seem to have decided what people really want out of a left-wing government, is a right-wing government.

Then they complain that everyone votes for the green party.

Yeah, all the tractor stuff gets pushed to page 8 and you have to do loads of scrolling.

Who’s making that determination though?

I’m sure it exists somewhere on the internet but I wouldn’t say it’s particularly prevalent. There’s quite a lot of this school girl stuff but it’s generally someone who’s obviously older than 18 just play acting. Anyway it’s pornography, no one cares about the plot anyway.

So the US started a war woth Iran, which resulted in Iran blocking the strat, and now as punishment the US is also going to block it.

I get that Trump couldn’t think his way out of an unlocked room, but this doesn’t seem like much of a strategy even by his low standards.

The thing is you can do massive maps without having to use something custom. So they really have no excuse for continuing to stick with their massively out of date wonkfest of an engine

You know there isn’t an entrance exam right? There is plenty of people that want to charge the Bastille, just because they claim to be on the left doesn’t mean that they speak for the majority, or even the minority, it’s often just their view.

But it does become very irritating when even the left wing options seems to be quite right wing. I can totally see why people become disenfranchised. I don’t think there’s ever a point in not voting, it can never hurt, but it also might not help if that’s all your prepared to do.

Even the Pope says that it is not enough to simply say you have prayed, you also have to act.
Which is probably the first and last time I’ll ever agree with anything the Pope says.

Well the full expression is “one bad apple spoils the barrel”. As in one of them being evil and corrupt generally encourages the other ones to do the same thing. Especially if it’s a high up in the party, they set a precedent.

Also a lot on the right seem to be rich and are using right wing rhetoric as a way to win power, so they’re already from the “laws don’t apply to me” class anyway, so act as per usual.

You still need programmers because you need people proficient in programming to be able to tell how to fix the junk that it generates into working code.

They do it all the time.

They’ll brag about their big drug bust and it’ll be 5 g of weed and a box cutter.

That’s because the courts are spineless. They said there is no legal basis for the ban, but they’re not going to actually do anything about the ban.

Pathetic. What was the point in having the court case then?

US law is not global law. There is no international cooperation allowing the US fascist police department to do whatever it is that they want.

People have been sick of them for ages but a lot of politicians in the Western world, are, for some reason, beholden to Israel and have always criticised people who speak out against them. Even when that criticism is entirely justified and has nothing to do with religion and everything to do with specific individuals in the Israeli government, and their personal actions.

Well also personally I lost interest because I got sick of Elon time. I’m pretty sure by his estimate we were supposed to have megastructures by now.

It’s also worth noting that reusable rockets are interesting but if they just go up deploy satellite and then come back down that’s not very interesting compared to going to the moon.

I know SpaceX are supposed to be building a lunar lander but we’ve heard nothing about that for years now. Where is it, Artemis III is going to need it in less than a year. Have they even started construction?

I think that’s just you.

I love these interactions because they’re just so over the top it’s ridiculous.

The Pope says the most mild of things and the admin go bonkers.

Yes I was also going to comment the same as above but didn’t because I was concerned that people wouldn’t get the reference.
