I hear you. I agree that union busting is bad. I support trader joes employees unionizing. I don’t want their stores to close and those employees to be out of a job.

Trader Joe’s, aldi, and small private stores from now on. Go fuck yourselves Kroeger.

No. In the non sales world, I’ve built some really cool solutions for clients.

I work for a consulting company and they’re truly going off the deep end pushing consultants to sell this miracle solution. They are now doing weekly product demos and all of them are absolutely useless hype grifts. It’s maddening.

You gotta make up for a lack of innovation but just price gouging customers on absolutely everything. I only have Spotify because of the radio function but otherwise all of these services are absolute dog shit. They don’t offer anything new. They’ve just created a new set of moats for features, songs, videos, television and games. Eventually this system has to collapse because treating customers like employees that have no choice but to stay will lead people to innovate on piracy.

It’s a better prediction model. There’s no reasoning because it’s not understanding anything you’re typing. We’re not closer to general ai.

Same experience. It can serve as a starting point but usually I have to sift through so many bad answers until something usable is made available.

Everyone is trying to cash in before it all collapses because big tech has just turned into what I dub as hype hopping since they have no good ideas.

“AI” and google pushing ads into the search has made search virtually unusable.

Mfer can’t even deliver the $25k Tesla. You think he’s going to deliver the most powerful AI? Lol. I got some snake oil to sell you.

It’s the Elon Musk narrative making we’ve been seeing over and over again. It’s hype. They’re about to run out of input data because they’ve sucked up everything they could. The Internet is being fed a bunch of bad results that come from LLM produced output which enshittifies the Internet further. These companies are burning cash and grid energy while the world burns. Unless there’s a spectacular breakthrough, this can’t keep going on much longer.

Yes it was…

Luckily very few people use Facebook.

Shut up. No it’s not.

Are we really still talking about how Clinton being one of the least popular politicians to run for president took it upon herself to tank a must win election? Really? I need this talking point to find its place in a grave. This is stupid.

Everyone knew Trump was a trainwreck. Clinton was so unpopular that people stayed home. She snubbed key states against campaign advice. She sucks. And she lost democracy for the US. We didn’t owe Clinton a vote. Clinton needed people to vote for her. She didn’t do enough to earn the votes. I voted for her begrudgingly. But Democrats turned their knives on Bernie harder than they did against Trump. And it turned a lot of people off from voting. At least Biden did some semblance of appeasement for the left populist wing of the Democrats in the first election.

This shouldn’t be downvoted. No lie was told.

I hate these articles because this same plot line has been reported by media for almost a decade.

This has been the narrative. But media loves horse race politics so they operate like both sides have a point which gives us white victimhood. Snake eating its tail.

Why are we doing this shit again?

He did the same pitch 8 years ago saying he’s good to the LGBTQ community and anyone that falls for this schtick is either a Rube or just coming out of a coma.

Every accusation is an admission. It works like that for every bad guy. Look at the IDF.

I would not be thrilled for newsome. He’s a snake that undercut the progressives in his state government multiple times. Shapiro has been decent. I would come out for him for sure. But one thing I know is that the weekend at Bernie’s situation we’re facing right now is about as bad of an option as we can have going into an election year.
