Why do we have to consider public transport “a waste of money” when they are not being run as a business???
China considers HSR a public good! They are meant to give convenient transport to everyone!
Also, do people realize road maintenance takes a lot of money too? Should governments stop doing that because they don’t make money?
FXXK this everything has to make money attitude of neoliberliasm!
I used to think education help people make right choice. I am rethinking that position now.
I hope they all started listening to AI for their life choice. Will be interesting
People immediately knew how internet could help us even during the dot com bubble. Anyone who had used Google (or before that, Yahoo) would immediately fall in love with them with how they help their live. AI (LLM)? Not so.
Huh? This is good news for the kids. I have seen too many kids sticking to their iPads all the time.
Please just boot out Meta out of EU to make lives better
Watching the Twitter video from the guy, this just feels so creepy…
Its really not just a few people, its the system of neoliberalism that incentivised these behaviours.
With strong, common sense regulation, the internet would have been a much better place instead of the hell hole we have now.
This is so relatable… The one good thing about pre-internet is that you can really just be away and don’t need to respond to anyone.
Lol at so called rule of law that only benefits the rich
Main problem is MS is cutting security update for Windows 10 soon unless you pay them.
Using a bad OS is one thing, using an insecure one for work is dangerous, so I was forced to update.
Huh? I care and I would refuse to listen to AI music
Unless we figure out who would “personally” be liable when an accident happen we should not have any self driving cars on the street.
Right now if someone crash into my car I know who is liable.
If self driving car crash into my car, are you telling me to sue Tesla? Lol, as if that is feasible.
Correct. The function is completely unnecessary.
That is not the case here. These are not bots which flagged issues, but literally a LLM to help with writing “summaries”, which is why the reaction is so different.
One of the few times when Disney is doing the right thing
WhatsApp is the more difficult one because some use it for work.
While this is a global phenomenon, I feel like the problem is much more serious in the US than other places.
The amount of corporate propaganda, the unwillingness to criticise business leaders seem much more serious in the US. Maybe that is because of my internet consumption, but I feel like Europe and even Asia are much more willing to call out corporate bullshit.
Actually there was one more quote:
Decades of neoliberalism has incentivized their rise, because when you incentivize society to become management — to “manage or run a company” rather than do something for a reason or purpose — you are incentivizing a kind of corporate narcissism, one that bleeds into whatever field the person goes into, be it public or private. We go to college as a means of getting a job after college using the grades we got in college, rendering many students desperate to get the best grades they can versus “learn” anything, because our economy is riddled with power structures controlled by people that don’t know stuff and find it offensive when you remind them.

Of course. I agree that cost benefit ratio needs to be considered. I also agree that in some cases low speed rail already suffice, but is it the argument they are making? I can’t read the article despite I want to because there is a paywall.
