It feels like you're directing that at me, but I agree with you, so I'm not sure what tone that was written in

[-] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 days ago

I don't agree:

Before if you chose not to hire someone, you'd be competing against better products from people who did hire someone. Hiring someone gave them a competitive advantage.

By removing the competitive advantage of hiring someone, you're destroying an entire career path, harming the economy and society in general.

I agree, except you're the one showing solidarity with the bourgeoisie.
AI is a too of the bourgeoisie to suppress the working class

[-] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 days ago

Because that's a harm to society and economy.

It's gutting entire swaths of middle-class careers, and funneling that income into the pockets of the wealthy.

If you're a single-person startup using your own money and you can't afford to hire someone else, sure. That's ok until you can afford to hire someone else.
If you're just using it for your personal hobbies and for fun, that's probably ok
But if you're contributing to unemployment and suppressed wages just to avoid payroll expenses, there is a guillotine with your name on it.

I'd say that depends on how important data analysis is to the job of mechanical engineer, and the degree of help you get from chatgpt

I stumbled on this video like a decade ago, no idea how it has such low views. It's a gem.

I think the point of the saying is that they don't recognize the licensing a consumer product as a valid exchange of money for goods or services.

They have a few indie titles that are fun.
I really liked Grow Home and Grow Up

I really tried to get it to generate Mac from the film Mac and Me, but it just wouldn't

What would aliens think if they leaned we evolved fear as a survival mechanism, but we intentionally seek out situations that trigger our fear response, for fun?

Horror movies, extreme sports, thrill-seeking, it's all weird.

Edit
Changed the title and added an extra line to make it clear I'm talking about the fear response, and not specifically about extreme sports

I know FNAF is a "kids game" but putting it next to the Care Bears seems a bit excessive lol

It's bullshit that the opposite of "impeachable" is "unimpeachable" instead of "peachable"

It's not that I don't believe Zuck would do that. It's that I don't believe that Musk wouldn't come up with something just as depraved.

Honestly I think they look pretty good.

But Elon is a fuck. And their build quality is shit. And I refuse to support that kind of company. And fuck people who do support them.
