Well, can you imagine being given a million dollars and someone coming along and saying 'oh, sorry, you didn't withdraw that in time and now it's no longer there, and you owe use a $100 transaction fee'. That would really suck, wouldn't it?

Now imagine that happening 10 times a day, and you can start to imagine how horrible some of these billionaires feel every day!

Of course to make it more realistic, your job wouldn't require you to actually ever come into the office or do anything, they would occasionally double or triple your salary based on the stock market, and instead of it being a million dollars, it would be a dollar or so every once in awhile and you wouldn't know what the transaction fee was because it is effectively less than a rounding error on your current balance. Also banks will loan you money and just write it off if you don't pay it back with no impact to your credit score.

The billionaires want to build industrial wood-chippers to get rid of us en masse, meanwhile individual sized wood-chippers already exist.

They’d never agree to share the jet.

I’m imagining the next viral video trend on the order of “will it blend”.

There's is nothing too awful to happen to sundar Prichai.

No horrible fate could befall that man that would not cause me delight.

Google sold Boston Dynamics to Hyundai a few years ago. I wonder if they regret it...

Google CEO fuckwad confirmed

Elon Musk was defending UBI recently.

This version of UBI is a capitalist trap. Make everything a subscription, make everything rented not owned, replace most jobs with AI, give you a monthly allowance. Now you need to feed all that money into their products and services, and they can make sure you'll never have enough to escape. Its feudalism with extra steps and some computers.

When the permanent unemployment rate starts to hit 25% or more, we are either going to have to have UBI, or reduce the population by the unemployment rate.

Which solution will be endorsed by which party, and how will they implement that solution?

Be reminded that Stephen "PeeWee Himmler" Miller has already told Trump that he wants to reduce the population of America from 350 million to 100 million. That's about a 70% reduction. What do you suppose his "solution" would be?

That, or an internment infrastructure currently being used to deport immigrants that can be easily refactored to house chain-gang denaturalized citizens who criticized the upper class... which will come true first?!

I just don't get how so many people just start by it. Every time I set my expectations lower for what it can be useful at, it proceeds to prove itself likely to fail at that when I actually have a use case that I think one of the LLMs could tackle. Every step of the way. Being told by people that the LLMs are amazing, and that I only had a bad experience because I hadn't used the very specific model and version they love, and every time I try to verify their feedback (my work is so die-hard they pay for access to every popular model and tool), it does roughly the same stuff, ever so slightly shuffling what they get right and wrong.

I feel gaslit as it keeps on being uselessly unreliable for any task that I would conceivably find it theoretically useful for.
