a virtual replica of you is able to embody your values and preferences with stunning accuracy.

I’m calling BS on this one. “Values and preferences” are such a far cry from Actual Personality that it’s meaningless. Just more LLM hype

Yes, but how many Ads for (Car Brand) do I need to see before I’ll buy a vehicle from (Car Brand)?

It’s not AI, it’s an LLM. It doesn’t know what misinformation is because it doesn’t Know anything

I got 30hrs out of Animal Well and enjoyed every moment of it :)

Yes, I think he would not call people names, he’d instead give lengthy explanations of their shortcomings and failings.

Pretty sure that’s not a direct quote.

Nerds still are smarter than us.

Unfortunately a cult of managers has arisen to rule over the nerds and they hype with an iron fist.

I hate how this is phrased as “redundancies”. IGN literally JUST bought these outlets, they haven’t had time to dig into and examine the organizations they acquired; it’s just straight into the Corpo playbook of “lay people off and let the dust settle where it may”.

These are people, not “redundancies”. They contributed in the old organization, and they could contribute in the new, but they never even got the chance.

Yeah, this has definitely happened before, we just don’t hear about it in the news. I am personally aware of a Canadian non-profit whose Google accounts were nuked with no notice or explanation last year, leading to massive disruptions for 150 staff and even more clients. They never found out why, and had to restore from backups onto a brand new Google business account

Corporations like Google are literally unjust power structures, and when they do DEI, they update the aesthetics of the corporation such that they can get credit for being inclusive but without addressing the problem itself.

Absolutely, 100% on the nose. And this needs to be a conversation on a civilizational level before income inequality spirals further out of control and our society devolves into chaos. Corpos like Google are so busy pretending that they’re addressing problems that the larger issues affecting people aren’t being talked about at all.

Op, are you trying to imply that only peasants wash their hands after using the bathroom? I’m so confused.

“As you all know, we have worked hard over the last year to run our business as sustainably as possible. Unfortunately, we still have work to do to rightsize our company and I regret having to share that we are taking the painful step to reduce our headcount by just over 500 people across Twitch,” Clancy wrote.

Cripes I hate corporate newspeak. “Rightsize” isn’t a word, and I hope I never encounter it again.
