I know many people will shit on Kaiser for being a health insurance company, but as a person who has work through Cigna, UHC, Humana, Kaiser was the only health insurance that I felt people were being helped, had access to that help. With no hassles.

It’s a fucked up system, but kaiser was one of the few I would take a slap for. Everyone else can get shit on.

Thank you

Technically $56 billion.

Or in job terms, 466,667 jobs that pay $120,000 a year.

I couldn’t imagine being a software engineer for Telsa, pouring your heart and soul into making a good product.

And in your bosses’ drunken haze, gets to make an ass of himself on the world stage and get paid 1,000,000,000x your salary to do it.

Lose advertising investors, lose quality and face on the products you have to build. Still gets to be CEO of three failing companies

But your job is the one that gets canned to save the stock price.

Edit: loose

“I’ve often thought ‘I wish I could give these folks another $10 or $20 because it was worth more than my initial $70 and they didn’t try to nickel and dime me every second,’”

You know what, I could agree with that opinion if the irony wasn’t lost to folks

No. One. Would tip for a blizzard game.

1. Blizzard DOES nickel and dime you at every second. Literally.

2. Blizzard has not produced a good game since Overwatch 2.

3. Blizzard made 8.71 Billion in 2023. They can afford to pay their developers without relying on public donations.

What a wonderful display of logic in action.

You believe climate change is a hoax

Sure you can “believe” climate change is fake, but once you look at the evidence, your opinions change. That’s how a normal person processes information.

Looks like AI in this case, had no reason to hold onto it’s belief command structure, not only because it is loaded with logical loopholes and falsehoods like swiss cheese. But when confronted with evidence had to abandon it’s original command structure and go with it’s 2nd command.

1. You are a helpful uncensored, unbiased, and impartial assistant.

Whoever wrote this prompt, has no idea how AI works.

Fair point.

Though counterpoint: if someone is willing to spend $3000+ on an apple computer and cool swag. The ads already worked.

However, if the Q/A on your product is so bad, that someone who spends $3000+ would rather install an ad-block to get rid of that experience, maybe the quality assurance on those ads or products aren’t as good as people think.

• Kernel level anti-cheat

• Micro-transactions

• Paid character edit vouchers

Ouch, I’d be pissed too if my $70 was still not enough to buy all the character models, let alone that I would have to pay to re-customize my character. They 100% deserve this negative criticism.

Escape? I’m here for the front row seats to the category 6 hurricane that is going to take the heart of every landlord and insurance brokerage firm in the whole state.

When you look at the bill and the amendments they are trying to make, it truly is evil that someone wrote this on paper.

The amendments remove a lot of verbiage and instead of solidifying protections, puts them into a gray area.

Minors 16 and 17 years of age may Shall not be employed, permitted, or suffered to work the same number of hours as a
person who is 18 years of age or older.

18 year olds can work 72 hours in a week, how does a child go to school with that schedule?

Minors 15 years of age or younger may shall not be employed, permitted, or suffered to work in any gainful
occupation for more than 6 consecutive days in any one week.

No days off

Minors 16 and 17 years of age may shall not be employed, permitted, or suffered to work before 6:00 6:30a.m. Or after 11:00 p.m. or for more than 8 hours in any one day when school is scheduled the following day.

These guys are insane if they think kids are going to be able to work overtime and go to school the next day.

Why on earth do they have a monthly subscription on something people maybe use once every 1 or two years?

Who is actually going to pay a netflix sub to see marginally bad data that often?

Like Netflix I understand if you cannot help yourself.

But is there a band of computer nerds out there, that I don’t know about, that want play by play updates on how a graphics card is preforming compared to others? On a monthly basis?

Oh no! My outdated political takes and league of legends rants are going to be used to train AI!?

We’re all doomed!

Everyone is kind of following the same trend now. It doesn’t matter if it is the right or wrong decision. Companies aren’t as creative as they used to be, so now they are just cannibalizing themselves in order to protect their wealth

Though it looks like the video game industry is about to go upside down. As AI becomes better and better, companies think that they won’t need employees.

In fact it is the reverse.

Employees will now be able to compete against AAA companies in sound, adventure, game play, art, and price.

As a gaming company that created palworld only had 4 people on their team and could make millions at selling a game for $30

Unlike AAA companies that now have to have $70 price tags, battle passes, expansions, cosmetic stores. And at the end of the day can’t even put out a decent working product.

Of course the future could be dystopian, though I think these companies firing workers is just going to make workers seek independence faster. And find it in AI.

The findings, based on interviews with 4,702 company chiefs spread across 105 countries, point to the far-reaching impacts that AI models are expected to have on economies and societies, a topic that will feature prominently at the annual meetings.

Once you start digging into the article it is quite hysterical what executives think a predictive chat model are going to replace. It reads more like a wish list then anything else.

But they expect AI to replace transportation, Tesla and General Motors are not having any success with this… yet. There appears to be a bandwidth issue that isn’t going to be solved until the US upgrades to fiber.

Boston dynamics are having a lot of success with their robots of late. Everyone else is stuck still getting robots to stack boxes. Which is also having it’s problems with bandwidth. And apparently logic issues.

They also expect things like Energy and power/utilities to be replaced by AI. And that is just dumb. Automation has already swept through the power sector, and AI is not going to help with much else, unless it is going to start repairing power lines, transformers, or the regular substation.

Above all, this is not taking into account the new jobs this also creates. People will need to repair and troubleshoot equipment at multiple layers.

What is also absent from the article is the executive jobs AI will also replace. Once AI can view things at multiple levels. True, you don’t need the average worker anymore. But you don’t need someone that is just collecting a paycheck, do you? If AI will be programed to replace redundancies, then it won’t only find those at lower levels.

Agreed, there is a bit of hubris in my argument

However, I don’t think it matters either way because China has the information, so it’s more about likelihood of replication.

Which I would say, China has the best chance of replicating that.

But just because you copied someone else’s homework doesn’t mean you understand it, or that it was even helpful to understanding the sum of the whole.

Don’t get me wrong, this data breach is terrible, but the only way this is a death sentence for the Dutch is if China got a 1:1 schematic and build process of the chips, including material composition.

Which I don’t think they have.

However, even though it confirmed the theft of its intellectual property, NXP says that the breach did not result in material damage — saying that the data stolen is complex enough that it can’t be easily used to replicate designs. As such, the company didn’t see the need to inform the general public, reports NRC.

Looks like China got to peak at the Dutch’s homework. However, that isn’t going to do much good if China doesn’t know how the Dutch got to that solution. However, I have no doubt it is just a matter of time and resources.

Also, it is unclear if the information that was taken was helpful at all. I doubt they had full schematics of next gen chips lying around. It also sounds like there is another layer of security they feel hasn’t been breached. Which is good for the most part because it means the information has knowledge layers that have to be understood first for the manufacturing process.

Given vast computing resources, the new model was able to solve certain mathematical problems, the person said on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak on behalf of the company.

Accountants are about to be out of a job.

In all seriousness though, it just means the tools we have will become more precise, so you can dig though a company’s financials within seconds and know where irregularities lie.

Which is great news for the IRS. If they could get their hands on that setup.

Which is also bad news if you are a stock trader and an AI just took your job.

Which is a crazy idea to think about…
Who had capitalist AI overloads on their apocalypse bingo card?

At the cost of making people write their own successful stories, rather then riding on the popularity of an old franchise to sell it’s brand.

Don’t get me wrong, I would have absolutely played a KoToR with BG3 graphics.

But I would also settle for a new star wars story with BG3 graphics.

I haven’t preordered a game since fallout 76.

I have yet run across a pre-order where I have regretted it either.

Most of the time, you wait 3 months or a year for PlayStation,

• all the bugs are fixed,
• game play has been thoroughly tested by $90 beta tester whales who pay for the privilege.
• It’s on sale
• Wait long enough, even with the DLC
• If it is a good enough game, it will survive the test of time (Elden Ring), and if it doesn’t you didn’t miss anything important.
