  • Dude i AM an American, My entire family and myself have served in some capacity either directly or indriectly to help this nation, its interests and has a history deeply tied all the way back to the revolutionary war. Protecting our national interests and morals is something that my family has been doing for generations even when they where less then ideal interests and morals because of the belief that our home is worth protecting and fighting for.

    It doesn’t matter what side of the border you are on. If you think its fucking reasonable to demand trust and forgiveness instantly on cheap words alone. Then you are a god damn child who needs to grow the actual fuck up. An adult can actually understand that if you fucking hit someone repeatedly and and abuse them. They won’t trust you after. Because that is how people work. It doesn’t matter if you defend them from other bullies, or help them when they are down. If all you also abuse them along the way.

    America has been nothing but an abusive partner defending and providing aid with one hand, while threatening and harming with the other. For decades now, it was only our absolute iron grip on large chunks of the global economy and codependency we curated that tied countries to us. Now that many of those ties have loosened others are standing on their own two feet and trying to have an actual healthy relationship with the USA, or distancing from us entirely. Which IS their choice. They owe us NOTHING.

    No country owes another country ANYTHING but the respect its due. And when the USA can prove it deserves that respect again THEN we can start bitching we arn’t getting it. But we arn’t there right now.




  • While i ment at home. Im going to be honest giving it a few moments thought. Since your already traveling you likely have a laptop. A ryzen laptop while expensive. Arn’t really that much more then a good work station/gaming laptop both are fucking over priced as fucking hell right now to be fair. But your paying 3.5-4k either way. A ryzen laptop with lpddr is like 3800-4000 dollars for 128 gigs of ram. You could totally do a local model right from your hotel room.

    Frankly i would say this is a more realistic option after the bubble goes pop and you can pick up something like this for like 2000 bucks. Since the laptops tend to be really nice reguardless and at least justifiable around that price point.


  • Like 70% of the points on that site are… Disingenuous at best. It’s not wrong over all at all. But I do wish people would stop throwing in a bunch of bullshit along with the good points.

    I hate ai on many moral standards and see it as highly problematic, but also see it as a fun toy.

    It makes it hard to have any honest conversations about the problems around ai when everyone is basically a religious zealot spouting as much bullshit as the ai tech bros are.

    Is ai a problem? Yes. There’s no honest way to disagree with that. But the real conversation is far more nuanced than that.








  • Considering this is a very small lay off, was handled extremely well and provided proper offers for staff to choose to leave instead of just surprising people. I wouldn’t call this a cash grab by literally any real means. Companies do lay offs, its normal. The only stated claim here is that AI is fucking the market and they are downsizing.

    Which it is. Thats litterally just facts.

    Theres nothing to indicate here least i can see, that says they are force rolling out AI to cash in on a quick buck.


  • His point is this is the frediverse and blind hatred of ai with zero nuance and no room for context or discussion is easy updoots. So gotta farm em while they are fresh.

    To be fair this does suck, but from what im seeing here theres nothing to indicate that it isn’t anything more then a bog standard lay off. Ai is teh reason this time but its no different then any other lay off. They suck, but its not like they are axing 50% of their work force on purpose to replace them with ai.

    They also seem to be giving out proper compenstation and even offered people the choice first before doing forced lay offs. Which is about as professional as you can expect from a company doing any form of lay offs.







  • Honestly the jump to psyop just comes across someone too out of touch with reality to understand the fuck people are.

    Like mother fucker, what do you think is more likely. Lazy, depressed, and self-defeating people being tired and dooming? Or a coordinated psyop across the entire internet that lines up perfectly with the exact same shit people have been saying, doing and dooming about since the 1900s.

    Like get out of your house and talk to some normal people, you will realize this isn’t a psyop. People are ACTUALLY just that tired or stupid.

    That said there is obviously bots going around trying to influence things. But they are more just pushing people in directions they already lay.
