I think it’s pretty scary. Completely overwhelming the media and internet with near-infinite variations of their propaganda is the most powerful way I can imagine for them to carry out the stuff you’re more worried about, with even less resistance.
It’s not the lack of AI safeguards themselves that worry me, it’s the constant stream of propaganda drowning out reality that worries me.
I’ve tried a couple and they all return worse results on average. Scrolling down past the LLM garbage and paying attention to which results are real is less work than re-querying DDG 4 times to get a decent result.
I haven’t tried kagi, but I’ve heard similar anecdotes here on Lemmy. I’m not opposed to paying. The ad model is unsustainably at best.
Thanks for posting regularly! This detailed write-up is super appreciated.
Corporations effectively run the government.
Yes, absolutely agree.
This is the part not being reported in the news.
Many of us are simply working half as much as we did when we were remote. It’s not worth trying to impress these people. They hate us.
To put it into perspective, the GBA sp is 21 years old.
When the GBA sp came out, the NES was 20 years old.
Sounds pretty retro to me 😎
Lazy people with tech salaries. I have a tech salary but I’m not lazy enough to enjoy spending 80 dollars on dinner for two that would cost 35 if I drove my damn self.
You can’t get anything from Uber eats for less than $30 in my city.
$10 wouldn’t even cover ONE of the service fees.
It’s so much worse when you lay it all out like that, haha.
But what about that makes it “men’s” shampoo, chemically? Do women never need to wash grease out of their hair?
I understand you’re point. I’m just reiterating that the formula is needlessly gendered. “Shampoo for hard water and heavy duty cleaning” just doesn’t sell in our version of socialized society I guess.
What does that mean, exactly though? Will it make a man sick if he uses it? Or is it just a way for a company to appeal to a certain customer who believes men and women are too different to enjoy similar things?
“products for men” are made up nonsense from companies who are trying to profit off of people’s insecurities.
We have been deeply conditioned as American consumers, but I’m sick of it! Fuck marketing. Fuck gender roles.
Reject marketing. Reject gender roles. Reject artificial constructs that only serve to oppress and control you.
Easier said than done, but seriously fuck marketing.
There’s no laws preventing you from using what you perceive as women’s hair care products.
Technology connections, and it’s not particularly close.
Thanks for posting.
I’m glad he’s thought through a lot of his more inflammatory positions and seems to have evolved a more nuanced take on things.
That link doesn’t work for me.
I also used to watch this guy very regularly but stopped when I found out he’s a political gun nut who open carries his AR-15 specifically to anger people and make them uncomfortable.
There’s a video of him inside a store with a rifle ranting about some poor politician and their effort to prevent gun violence. Easy to find if you search for it.
I have adhd, anxiety, and depression. My spouse has anxiety, cpsd, and depression. We really enjoyed remote work before we were called back to the office.
