If only YouTube ads were as unobtrusive as PornHub’s… one five-second-skippable ad before each video is all I’ve ever seen

There’s nothing contradictory in what is written there.

“The XTX is better - but you don’t deserve it, bitch”

“Pharmacists are finding they can see more patients a day by just prescribing the closest thing within arm’s reach”

Seeing more patients is not a good thing by itself

Police said the driver was operating the vehicle erratically; running red lights, weaving through traffic, and hitting speeds around 90 km/h in the downtown core.

It might have been the noise nuisance at 1am that started this, but it was the dangerous driving that led to the arrest.

I’ve no love for the police as an institution, but surely someone being obnoxiously loud when people are trying to sleep and then endangering others with their driving is not a hero either

I’ve not read the article yet, but I’m going to assume it’s affecting my sleep because I’m reading about how it’s affecting my sleep at 04:21 instead of, you know, going to sleep. Just a guess

Large-language models and computer tools in general are different to traditional machines, to be fair. For every spinning Jenny that you make, you need people to make it, people to service it, and people to operate it. These people all have jobs now. For every piece of software you make, you only need the one team who originally develops it. From then, it can be replicated endlessly with no extra human input. You also only need one set of people to “service” it (bug fixes, updates etc.) for the entire world, rather than one per factory or workplace

(Also, I disagree with your premise and your assumption that jobs = good, but you probably don’t want to hear about it and I don’t want to type an essay :) )

Without meaning to be rude, you’ve not been paying attention. Throughout the history of capitalism, rich arseholes and then corporations have done as much as they can to avoid paying people for labour. It shouldn’t be surprising that this latest tool is used the same way

We know this comment by Shannon Martin is correct and sensible because it was reviewed by Shannon Martin! As a licensed insurance agent, I’m sure she is qualified to talk about uh… electronics… hmm

I think they’re saying “America is a bad example, please don’t follow us”

And where do you plug in the aerial to watch TV? Or doesn’t it work like that where you’re from?
