Turn off transcoding and/or unify the codecs on your totally legally acquired library that you legally ripped yourself.

They’re unironically calling for child sex slaves to be reinstated.

So now I have to stab every person wearing airpods if I don’t want to be spied on by the Five Eyes intelligence agencies?

Every day I’m thankful US tech is less and less popular outside the west.

Have you ever met an executive? Have you ever met any actual capitalist?

They aren’t particularly smart people. They just have no physical capability for empathy. That is how they can exist. AI is good enough to reduce workload. It is fantastic especially at correcting speech and translating.

You know what worker class needs corrected speech and translating but otherwise can be taught to do most office and entry level jobs? Outsourced workers.

Companies slowed outsourcing customer-facing positions due to backlash from obvious accents and poor cross-cultural training. AI has allowed them full steam ahead. While real time voice masking is a little expensive right now, AI chat agents are good enough to be used while having an outsourced worker listen in, feed ‘correct’ lines to the AI (or simply skip incorrect lines) and actually perform the actions.

GAN ML is also good enough, as it turns out, to figure out how to complete many office tasks with full desktop screen captures.

If you combine these two things, and add a little marketing spin, what you have is a very clear plan to eliminate 50-70% of labor cost in the US – that is the majority of customer service and office administration workers.

Right now it’s AI facing, (statistically) Indian outsourced agent backed solutions. Eventually those outsourced agents – which have the totality of their job recorded, every mouse click, every key press, every single word said to their coworkers and managers, every single blink, all to train AI – will be out of a job too.

Nevermind this ends capitalism, as without a consumer base there will be no companies, but oh wait, techbros and capitalists are pushing for UBI. . . Isn’t that weird they’d be pushing an objectively socialist idea… I wonder if that’s related.

If Europe were nuked in 1945 instead of Japan we’d have been in world peace for 80 years.

The F-15IA can be taken out by S-300s and even squad-level anti-air. Given their failures in Iran (who has undoubtedly now shown every freedom fighting group in the region how to counter them) that seems like a pretty bad purchase.

This is like buying tanks in 2026, unless your only targets are unarmed civilians you don’t really have a chance anymore. And while israel has been the single most significant source of civilian deaths since WWII, completely overshadowing all of the US’ other nightmarish actions, they still gotta take out a few military personnel if only so they don’t lose as many people when jacking off their own dead for their creepy breeding programs.
