At this point, it’s an insult to clowns.
It’s beyond just making millions for someone else, it’s about literally building their replacements.
In the note, shared internally and viewed by the New York Times, Brin urges staff working on Google’s Gemini AI projects to put in long hours to help the company lead the race in artificial general intelligence (AGI).
They want an AGI that will do all the work “for free” and they don’t have to worry about pesky human workers who want things like “human rights” anymore.
Nah, they count shit like going to the gym for two hours or having a three-hour-three-martini “business lunch” as part of their “work week” so those numbers are way overinflated. They count every little thing they do that they tell us “isn’t working” (like eating) as “work” when it comes to their own schedules.
There’s middle managers who really work like that but its because they hate their home lives, their wives, their children.
…or 8.6 hours a day 7 days a week with no days off. There’s no way to math this that isn’t “fuck you, you don’t deserve a life outside of working to replace yourself with AI.”
There’s 182,502 employees at Google.
Maybe if Brin wants to work hard, he can do all the work at 60 hours a week himself, since he’s so fucking smart.
That’s only 10,950,120 hours a week, Brin. Those are rookie numbers! You can do it yourself, right? Right?
You wouldn’t be sitting on your ass doing nothing demanding others do all the work, right? Right??
Narrator: Brin was indeed sitting on his ass doing nothing.
Also, for context, 60 hours a week divided by 7 days a week is 8.6 hours a day with no days off or 6 ten hour days with one day off or 5 twelve hour days with two days off.
Look I just can’t help not responding to this. I need to emphasize this.
This is not how genetics actually works at all and what you are suggesting is fucking eugenics rooted in a complete misunderstanding of genetics. Go peddle what amounts to Nazi shit elsewhere fucking please. They misunderstood genetics in the same fucking way.
No the fucking dipshits who raised me selfishly put their own dreams as a priority at the expense of me.
I was a mistake and I knew it from a young age, especially with how much they valued material things over me.
Trump is just jealous of Dubai being built on slave labor and mass graves.
Maybe evolution needs to cull this dipshittery.
Okay here’s the issue, the parents who are pushing this are probably vaccinated for measles.
As a smart kid born to absolutely dumb as living fuck parents, genetics does not mean two stupid parents automatically beget a stupid child.
So in your proposed scenario you’re risking killing intelligent children whose worst crime was being born to absolute fucking idiots.
Nothing, this is the internet, and the kind of things that would prove I’m real would compromise my pseudo-anonymity on the internet.
Also, I don’t owe that to anyone. I’m not in a position of authority, I’m just some fucking dingus on the internet. Hell, I don’t even moderate any communities (unless you count a completely dead Joe Pera community).
If people really want to live life assuming everyone they come into contact with on the internet that has a differing opinion must be a paid actor or an AI, that’s on them. I came to Lemmy to get away from that.
I don’t do that, and I think it’s pathetic that people do. I give others the charitable interpretation of them being a real human because assuming everyone is paid or an AI is some real “they’re out to get me” stuff which in itself is some serious narcissistic shit.
Exactly, this treatment is the norm that anyone who deals with ICE regularly deals with, and has been regularly dealing with, for decades now.
It’s only “news” because it’s happening to a white European.
A lot of the “oh noes the US is losing influence” comes twofold from:
General sinophobia as China is often seen as the next viable global superpower.
Americans who deep down know exactly how good they’ve had it because of that influence and are suddenly scared that their own country could become the true corrupt, broke shithole it has always really been. We only ever had wealth because we dominated and stole it from the rest of the world.
I’m with you, US losing influence isn’t a bad thing. It’s only bad for US citizens, who need to get a grip on how comfortable and coddled they have really been, even if they are poor. US poor is not international poor, once again, because we stole so much wealth from the rest of the world. I say this as a US citizen who is daily disgusted by the selfishness and coddled ass attitudes of his fellow Americans.
A good example of why is how we took the worlds outpouring of compassion after 9/11 and squandered the fuck out of it by playing world police and killing untold millions in the middle east and Europe has been dealing with the aftermath for 20 fucking years now.
The cruelty is the point.
They want to make people afraid to come or go.
They want to have excuses to ramp up slavery. The 13th amendment not going far enough is what they’re going to lean on for promoting the idea that it’s all above board and legal because these people “committed crimes.”
They ought to be doing it with Dreamcasts since pirating games for DC was way easier.
I already miss her so much. I truly hope Cunk on Life isn’t the last we see of Philomena Cunk.
I truly desire to see her and Barry Shitpeas back together in another Wipe from Charlie Brooker. The Antiviral Wipe was fun but not enough.
I finally watched Pantheon. It was really good. Although I do wish more of the animation in the uploaded world was more deeply abstract. They didn’t lean enough into that, imho
I think the word you’re looking for is “raped.” Undercover police officers raped unsuspecting members of the public. Often repeatedly.
When literally everything that they used to gain consent was a lie, it’s a rape by any other name.
