  • It’s funny to point out this administration’s complete lack of understanding of… well, everything, but don’t think that a sloppily worded executive order is going to give you any protection in real life.

    AT BEST you’re going to get a rational judge who rules in your favor because of it. Until your case is appealed and the Trump appointee reverses that decision.

    But in reality you’re not going to have the money/time/energy to challenge this bullshit because the effects are going to be felt a tiny bit at a time, administered by faceless bureaucrats who are too afraid for their own lives to stand up to the fascist machine on your behalf. We’re laughing at this order because it’s not factually correct but IT DOESN’T FUCKING MATTER IF IT’S CORRECT because they’re going to follow it anyway.








  • The first I heard of Trump’s memecoin was a headline declaring it was worth $25 Billion. I’m a pretty online person, so I tend to hear about these things pretty quickly. The article said it was worth $9 billion in 12 hours.

    $9 billion is an unimaginable amount of money for any number of people to decide to “invest” in under 12 hours. The only way I can explain that happening is if many, very wealthy people, had been notified about the coin going up for sale ahead of time and wanted to curry favor with Trump.

    What a fucking embarrassment this country is.




  • This thread is full of people comparing OPs hypothetical about 10 years from now with last year’s capability.

    Will AI progress that fast? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ It probably won’t get that good, but it doesn’t matter. If it gets as good as your average junior that’s going to mean something like 100% increase in productivity, which means 50% as many jobs and that’s going to be a BIG FUCKING DEAL.

    Especially when it’s going to be replacing a lot of other types of office workers. What kind of job is your average software dev going to transition to? Tech support? Not anymore. UI Designer? LOL. Manager? And who are you going to be managing?

    If the US doesn’t hit 15-20% unemployment in the next 10 years I’ll eat my hat. I’ll be eating it either way because I’ll be starving to death.
