Remember when everyone was buying zoom stocks?

Look around, Helen. American politics can’t get much worse, so if it’s a bloodsport they want, it’s a bloodsport they’ll get.

If you think the answer is to be as morally bankrupt as you think your opponent is, you are ignoring your own supposed values.

edit: How very, very convenient that you don’t even live in the US and so you’ll never be directly affected by Mitch McConnell’s actions and have the luxury of finger-wagging at those of us mired in his shit, all the way from the other side of the fucking ocean. How very convenient indeed.

Your are right. But American politics have a way of being everyone’s business and influence a lot of people - people from the EU included. I see this influence on our political system, and it is not pretty. The idea about not playing by any rules is just sad; if you have no compass you are truly lost and don’t really work for anything.

Side note: I am amazed that you think my nationality excludes me from having an opinion on this. It highlights the problem with a community called ‘politics’ on lemmy.****world only about American politics - and apparently only for Americans.

I am not going to reply to everybody. But most of the comments - yours too - underline my point.

For me, politics is about creating something better together. Alienating others in the way that’s being expressed here achieves absolutely nothing. It creates no improvement, only more hatred and division.

One big problem with American politics is the polarization between the individuals who should be collaborating. You too are part of the problem with this approach and almost every comment in this thread is just fuel for the fire for someone else.

Most of the comments here are examples of what’s wrong with American politics. How can you, despite your political views, watch this video and be so spiteful?

I dislike, disapprove and disagree with the man on every level. But I do not enjoy watching this.

Even though I despise the man, this is not enjoyable to watch.

Besides that, it point to a central problem with American politics - the politicians are WAY to old 👴🏻

Critical-constructive thinking (as described by Wolfgang Klafki <3). Boy would the world be a better place if everyone could think for them self, and not only criticise but also ‘build something’ better.

Thank you for the detailed reply 👍🏻

This was really enlightening. Do you have some articles that elaborate? ☺️

This is so exciting - there is a big potential here, if we are careful and cautious.

I think the computer scientist they interview in the article hits the nail on the head with his statement:

these models “should always be regarded as assistants rather than the final decision makers

AI technologies as an extension of human ability is going to revolutionise a lot of professional fields. But, we need to approach the technology the right way! We need to start early, and have digital literacy as a focus area in schools.

I can’t figure out, why you would ever accept such an low offer. $100 for something worth potentially more sounds ridiculous. How much did he need the money? 😅

Am I missing something?

Why? I am not condoning the 90% decision - but, why not start figuring out ways to implement and improve whatever you are working with? There are alt to figure out about AI and what to use it for - ant not to use it for. But total abstinence it’s like choosing not to use the internet to search for knowledge that could be useful for your business or work.

We should be learning - not ignoring.

Best comment - even though I like their brush with the suction cup mere 🤗

Thank you for the update and elaboration.

It shouldn’t come as a surprise to me anymore, but alas; the ruthlessness and morraly bankrupt practices that governs some American companies is surprising…

I appreciate living in the EU and the fight taking place here for my data rights. Although deep down I’m aware that similar practices surely are happening here, they just haven’t been uncovered yet.

Edit: As mentioned in a comment above, it appears to be an error. However, the morally issue remains. I don’t understand how one can handle sensitive information so carelessly.

Local officials have said that delivery workers receive approximately $11 hourly after tips, given their out-of-pocket expenses – which is $4 less than New York City’s minimum wage of $15

That wage is insulting, both to the workers and the city. Kick the business’ out of town - someone other will fill the vacuum and do it better.

Wonder how long before it turns up on the graveyard 🪦

Tried to read this post twice- what are you telling me to be aware of / stop doing?

Stuff like this is so funny. You can really make kids believe the funniest things if you have a little imagination 🎅🏻

I don’t understand why they are going to keep the service running through October? If you are leaving, why not get it over with - could someone enlighten me?
