Capital demands growth. It doesn't care how you do it. It doesn't track or reward whether you did it by making the world better or by creating death squads and working with the CIA to kill thousands of people and overthrow a government that wanted to charge you taxes and limit the amount of land you could have.
It's been this way, and worse, for a long time. But bear in mind that Twitter gave us the ability to see how billionaires think. Modern media made them more accessible. They didn't change, our knowledge of them did.
While I don't necessarily think that votes should be made public, it would be nice if you could see your own votes. There have been a few times I wanted to find a post that I had seen, but didn't save, and I couldn't find it.
a lot of AI is really just fancy statistics stuff. Years and years ago, I was doing an introductory lesson on some AI tools and the example given was predicting the price of rent or the price of a house. There's likely a mixture of the statistics part to predict and the algorithmic part to increase the amount and see if people bite.
It turns out, most will when everyone is using it bc being homeless kinda sucks.
Funny thing about that, I used to do sound stuff and we'd tell people to practically kiss the mic. Just put it right on the chin and make out with it. Not the last part, but just about that haha
In case anyone is not sure, this behavior is completely normal in the Christian circles. The number of times I heard people, preachers, or whoever blame the victim for causing the man of god to stumble is far more than you would want to know, and was every time.
One thing to understand about many Christian groups is that they elevate their preachers to a very high standing and believe that they are "so close to the Lord" that they just don't do bad things. So, in order to preserve this cognitive dissonance, it's the child that tempted them to sin.
Well, I just got blocked for replying all to an email with two recipients and now I can't access my email, calendar, passwords, or VPN, so that's great.
