But I just want to sing

Sooooo we built another one

Winning

I would have agreed with you before I’m not sure about that any more. Musk and his oligarch buddies are in open war against the working class at this point and social media is their primary weapon.

If not outright ban, at the very least insist on heavy regulations. Allowing them to shape the discourse is a sure fire way to lose this battle.

This really fucking pisses me off because there are a ton of marginalized people who take shit online all the time and these social media services all act like their hands are tied and there’s nothing they can do. But this makes it blatantly obvious that they can take action when they want to.

Why that one though? Just because it’s more ‘official’ as the devs instance?

Under a sane US president that’s crazy enough to work but Trump and his fuckups will use it as a justification to toss Zelensky themselves

Why, just why. Don’t they realize Green is largely signaling to us that he’s on our side and to have some hope? And by voting against him they’re signaling they’re not on our side?

How does one watch/support the CBC from outside the country, one wonders.

Yeah that makes sense, I bet you’re right or at least that’s a large part of it.

Reminds me of this video I saw about economies of scale specifically regarding a special part that went into a guitar. The maker could get the material and produce that part pretty cheaply until the automotive industry stopped using that same material. Suddenly they could barely source the material anymore and just had to cancel the part.

Me too! What is the cost/benefit FOR ME? I understand what it is for the manufacturers but it’s a UX nightmare, especially when you’re trying to drive too.

No kidding, I didn’t know that. I did some checking and it says replacement batteries are $5-15k! Well silver lining is the price is dropping precipitously:

Jan 26, 2024 - According to the DOE, the cost of a lithium-ion EV battery was 89 percent lower in 2022 than it was in 2008

I obviously don’t understand the economics of it and I realize that China will always have the upper hand on price but is there a reason every western EV has to be $40,000+? Like surely it’s possible to build a barebones model for less than 30k right - especially if I don’t need or even want touch screens or fancy interior materials or heated seats or anything.

In the tradition of USA currency being only for dead presidents - I will gladly allow Trump’s face on any bill if he’s the one to pull the trigger

It’s extremely hit or miss IMO, there are some really good ones too. This one always cracks me up:

Oh damn well I stand corrected

It’s pretty hard to miss too. I just went there from the link in their comic:

100% this. Wouldn’t it be something if they weren’t overtly running their companies to replace all of us? If feel like focusing instead on creating great personal assistants that make our lives easier in various ways would get a lot of support from the public.

And don’t get me wrong, these LLMs are great at helping people already but that’s definitely not the obvious end goal of OpenAI or any of the others.

Almost seems like they’re afraid of us or something
