It seems like a lot of people here in the US are going to be going "you're being alarmist there's nothing wrong there's no reason to fight just like chill out", even when there are literal concentration camps. I don't know how to get through to some people.
“Poor people are bad with money. That’s why they are poor.”
I personally think a lot of rich people are bad with money. They're just shielded from consequences because if you blow $200,000 on an expensive watch, and you have another $3,000,000 in the bank, it's not going to ruin you. I've seen numerous examples of rich people just blowing money on bullshit. Meanwhile, poor people are like snipping coupons and making $1000 last a whole month.
I mean, there's always going to be scams. You probably want to address that with education more than expensive "you're not allowed to buy salsa with your government money" stuff.
Well, the lunch is being eaten either way. Personally I feel like "AI" stuff is not great for anybody except the people selling it (and even they are often losing money)
A couple CEOs have made statements about how they're not hiring anyone in favor of "AI". Somehow Saint Luigi hasn't visited any of them, but I think a couple had to reverse course after the "AI" was bad.
Labor should unite. We don't need infinite growth and profits. Dignity and a sustainable environment are more important
Ehh I think celebrities is probably an example of why user-first is bad. They're given too much weight. If Chris Evans wants to talk about the MCU he can post in an MCU forum. If he wants to go off about Israel, well he's not an authority and we shouldn't facilitate that halo effect of "well he's famous so he's probably smart".
A band can have their own website and participate in communities for their genre/location/etc.
I'm painting with a broad brush but I think organizing by content rather than user is better in most cases.
Business idiots. Management is out of touch with both users and products
Conservatives are wrong about pretty much everything. I don't know of a single problem where they have a sensible policy. They're worse than toddlers.
I'm just waiting for someone to Mario Party their boss after a return to office mandate. It would be deserved.
I had a recruiter (in the US) message me about some jobs. They're all on-site 6 (six!) days a week. That should be a crime and everyone involved in that banished from the land. This wasn't climate change work or anything important. It was like ai fintech nonsense.
On Twitter and Instagram you follow users. That's user-first. You go there to see what so-and-so is saying, regardless of if it's about cats or politics or their dinner plans.
Reddit, lemmy, and traditional web forums are content first. You go to the video games subforum to talk about games, and the sports forum to talk about sports. You often don't even read the user names. You're there for the content.
User-first stuff tends to incentivize bad behavior, I think. It becomes more about who's saying it than what's said.
AI doesn't have agency and cannot be a peer. "Falling in love with it" is an illusion, often with a tremendous opportunity cost.
I think content-first social media like forums is far less bad than user-first like Twitter, Instagram, etc.
Most things with conservatives are projection.
