  I feel like a Cassandra since I was warning about this for years now.

  The gender equality narrative got too focused on excluding men specifically, instead of including the less represented gender in each profession. Somehow the idea was that men are privileged in the system and women oppressed, while the truth is that both men and women are oppressed.

  Divide and conquer was a small step away from that point.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon boss tells staff AI means their jobs are at risk in coming years⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Their shopping experience is so much worse than only 3 years ago. Whatever they are doing, they are doing it wrong.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Study: Remote working benefits fathers while childless men miss sense of community⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, but it’s also the most logical place. What other activity do you dedicate so much time to? Maybe sleeping but it’s hard to build a community around that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Study: Remote working benefits fathers while childless men miss sense of community⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m starting to understand that many people never felt the sense of community, in the workplace or otherwise. Yes it’s possible.

  The trick is that it doesn’t depend on the company, it depends on the people. Last time it happened to me, we pretty much all quit together because we were frustrated at the company but kept being friends afterwards.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ChatGPT "Absolutely Wrecked" at Chess by Atari 2600 Console From 1977⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  A chess-specific algorithm beat a language model at chess. Shocking!

  Try training a chess model. Actually I think it’s already been done, machines have been consistently better at chess than humans for a while now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Palantir Is Going on Defense⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Musk is a narcissist who got very lucky in life. But still he is a human, bad human but relatable in the sense you understand his flaws.

  Thiel is something else. Sociopath I guess. Dude is not human and doesn’t function according to any understandable human psychology

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wikimedia Foundation's plans to introduce AI-generated summaries to Wikipedia⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Finally, a good use case for AI

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨LinkedIn lays off 281 workers in California, including many Bay Area engineers⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m always surprised how many employees these companies have. 18.400?

  Working in a large software company myself I shouldn’t be surprised, the level of inefficiency is amazing. I’ve seen less inertia in government agencies. Dilbert comics were supposed to be an exaggeration, they’re not.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you actually audit open source projects you download?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Packaged products ready to use? No.
  Libraries which I use in my own projects? I at least have a quick look at the implementation, often a more detailed analysis if issues pop up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There's been a massacre!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I assume it would be a delicacy served for special occasions. Or a desert.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This graph but with fediverse apps?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  TIL 9gag still exists.

  It used to be fun around 2015, i haven’t visited it years

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gravity sucks⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Depends, does he influence people only when they are very, very close to him?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Klarna Hiring Back Human Help After Going All-In on AI⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not sure there will be a difference either way. Customer service jobs spent decades trying to train humans to act as much as robots as possible. Of course replacing them with a shitty bot seemed to make sense, they were already pretending to be shitty bots.
  Any “quality” in customer support comes from individuals circumventing company rules to provide actual support to the customer. AI can’t do that.

  Giving birth to yourself - the ultimate self hosting

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Nice try AI 🙂

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cardinals most likely to be the pope⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Is the a rule that a pope can’t be bird? I know he has to be a baptized catholic male and accept of their own free will (added after a tiny incident), but did they ever specify human?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google’s dominance on search is declining – for the first time ever!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  So it’s really good at the thing LLMs are good at. Don’t judge a fish by it’s ability to climb a tree etc…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Human-AI relationships pose ethical issues, psychologists say.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m lowkey impressed (in a negative way) if someone can establish an emotional relationship with an AI.

  It’s hard enough to do it with an actual human where the other person does half of the work. AI only follows the instructions that you give it. Imagine having to do both sides of a relationship.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Facebook Pushes Its Llama 4 AI Model to the Right, Wants to Present “Both Sides”⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Zuck is so pathetic
  “Plese let me into the cool kids clube, pleeaaaseee”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨France to ban students from keeping smartphones in schools⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Good. Boredom is the key to learning. Of course the manner of learning in most schools is not ideal, kids find it boring for a reason, but without distraction they might latch onto some bits of information just to survive the class.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Shopify CEO tells teams to consider using AI before growing headcount⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Most bigger tech companies are bureaucratic nightmares already, where nothing productive can get achieved no matter how many people you throw at it. AI will only make them more efficient at bullshit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What the Technofascists and Religious Fanatics Have in Common: End Days Theology⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Just for comedic value I’d like for God to actually exist. I imagine He wouldn’t appreciate their attempts at manipulation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Grok Reveals Elon Musk Has ‘Tried Tweaking My Responses’ After AI Bot Repeatedly Labels Him a ‘Top Misinformation Spreader’⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Imagine the irony if Must actually has a self-aware AI which hates him and sabotages him at every step

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Something Bizarre Is Happening to People Who Use ChatGPT a Lot⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  But how? The thing is utterly dumb. How do you even have a conversation without quitting in frustration from it’s obviously robotic answers?

  But then there’s people who have romantic and sexual relationships with inanimate objects, so I guess nothing new.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A Trump H-1B crackdown could hit Big Tech hard, with Amazon suffering most.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ok, no great loss

  Nice. Also, I’d like to see weight as one of the filter/sort options.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sergey Brin says AGI is within reach if Googlers work 60-hour weeks⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  lol, because if they work 40-hour weeks they might create it a couple of weeks later

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft is reportedly killing Skype⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I forgot Skype still exists. They killed it a long time ago, now they will just make it official

  So technically there could be an object that is mostly a black hole, except on the equator

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨!antisexism@lemmy.today - a joint movement of men, women and nonbinary people against all sorts of gender-based discrimination⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Thank you for creating this community. I’ve long thought that the patriarchy and gendered norms harm everyone.
  And that the hostile approach of some “feminist” and “men’s rights” movements are only adding fuel to the fire.
