And to underline what he said, he posted an ai generated picture. The tech bro post is complete

Is it really though? It feels off to me too but we have no proof

Laptop doesn't have a trackpad, also her foot is fucked up

Swoopy wine glass is the hip new trend.

[–] kn0wmad1c@programming.dev 10 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Look at the guy's hand that's holding the glass.

[–] 6nk06@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 days ago

Also he's smelling the glass and it's not wine.

[–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Hmm true.

Btw: does anyone know if they've invented a way of guaranteeing (not) AI yet? It's getting harder and I can see this becoming a pressing issue, especially in journalism.

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 week ago

No, and there never will be a way. Once you create a system to detect AI generation, models are trained against it until they pass most of the time. You can create something that works temporarily but it's only a matter of time until it stops.

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Probably wise to just exercise a healthy amount of doubt and assume everything is AI generated until proven otherwise.

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 8 points 1 week ago

Just the arrangement of the people and furniture screams AI. You don't even need to zoom in.

[–] shneancy@lemmy.world 146 points 1 week ago (2 children)

the good old "how dare you desire for your life to be better when there's people who's lives are worse!"

[–] RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 57 points 1 week ago (4 children)

The go-to "you aren't allowed to complain" that I heard was "well there are children starving in Africa"

[–] 6nk06@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 days ago

Same in the 80s. We made pretty songs like "We are the world" and sent fucktons of rice to Africa that rot because dictators wanted to keep it. Fun times.

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

We don't compare trauma. This isn't a competition.

[–] RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 week ago

The trauma of hearing some weak ass reason of having to eat my peas? Lol

[–] lars@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 1 week ago

There was a liberating moment when I learned that just feeling awful was not an effective way to stop wars.

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 week ago

"indeed there are, mother. that's why i won't eat this food and will instead put it in an insulated box and ship it to them, so they can enjoy it."

If I hear that, I show the stupidity by doing the opposite:

How can you be happy? There are people getting married today, they are much happier!

.Yeah yeah, not all who marry are happy, you get the point

I didn't check the community before entering but immediately figured it must be LinkedIn lunatics. Holy shit the disconnect from reality is incredible, I'd like to see how well Juan can write business tips or whatever this is while living in a trench for a month with the constant possibility of death.

[–] jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 58 points 1 week ago (4 children)

This is satire right? I can't tell anymore

I kind of want to make a fake LinkedIn account just to tell these people off, but that's probably playing into their hands.

[–] slaacaa@lemmy.world 36 points 1 week ago

This post is 100% serious, I checked comments and their other posts

[–] IncogCyberspaceUser@lemmy.world 20 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Go the other way with it. Shame them for not going far enough, accuse them of being soft and not grinding hard enough. Go slightly ridiculous with it.

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Won't be long for people to take that seriously and install raid sirens on corporate offices around USA or western Europe, to "ensure everyone understands the hardship of our colleagues"

[–] lars@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 week ago

But can we mute them in the C-suite pls&thx

[–] Underwire@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

You need to see the comments as many agree with him even some from Ukraine.

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I thought the same thing about 'X' a while back, so I revived an ancient unused account. It took me about 5 minutes of scrolling to decide it would be pissing in the ocean and I just permanently deleted the account instead.

[–] MycarHolmes@quokk.au 54 points 1 week ago

Seriously using AI generates images for this crap? On brand I guess, enjoy the grind.

[–] RedSnt@feddit.dk 54 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

I know this will sound selfish (to make it about Denmark, apologies), but that's pretty much what the Danish Prime Minister, Mette Frederiksen used as an excuse to remove one of Denmarks holidays: "The assembly lines runs 24/7 in Russia".
It feels like we're involved in perpetual war just to ensure that the improved productivity isn't paid back to workers in the form of more leisure time or pay. No, that surplus has to go to the war effort! There is a hint of 1984 to it: "We've always been at war with Eastasia.".
That's not to say I don't support Ukraine. But I am also mindful of the fact that the war is being used as a stick as well.

[–] DarthFrodo@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago (2 children)

So this only applies for military related jobs, right?

... right?

[–] RedSnt@feddit.dk 8 points 1 week ago

The removal of the holiday? No that was for all of Denmark.

War as an industry innovated, did some hostile takeovers. Now even your prospects of acquiring shelter for the night are considered part of war effort.

Damnit Clauswitz.

[–] vandsjov@feddit.dk 4 points 1 week ago

I’ll jump on the Danish wagon and tell about our extra high power prices some days ago because Germany. France and Spain was using airconditioning so much in the evening, while the solar power production was going down with the setting sun. Don’t they know that I need to pay extra for their cool enjoyment?

[–] ryedaft@sh.itjust.works 54 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Throwing his daughter under the bus like that

My daughter thinks I should spend more time with her but doesn't she realise people are being bombed in Ukraine and still show up for work?

[–] OldChicoAle@lemmy.world 21 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Probably one of those dads that thinks buying their kids things is the same as loving them.

[–] MotoAsh@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

I mean... As someone who had neither, I would've fucking LOVED a free car or even a semester of college paid for. ... and my dad was a doctor.

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 31 points 1 week ago

So I looked, and of course Kickbite is just a scumbag marketing company. With 'AI'. He produces nothing of worth for all that slave driving.

[–] TwinTitans@lemmy.world 33 points 1 week ago

They’re fighting to be like Germany - not the other way around pal.

[–] BedSharkPal@lemmy.ca 29 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Man if we could somehow find a way to make these people feel shame...

[–] slaacaa@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

Impossible.

The last group of the elite could be bracing against the steel door in their Hawaii superbunker while survivors of the climate apocalypse are breaching it open, and they still wouldn’t realize their wrongdoings.

They would scream, beg, berate, and lie to try to control and trick us, but we’d never get an honest emotion out of them.

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 4 points 1 week ago

He's in marketing. There's no money in shame.

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 16 points 1 week ago

Won't someone think of the shareholders?

[–] TheReturnOfPEB@reddthat.com 13 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

lowering the bar of acceptable enslavement is what every capitalist boss wants to do

and they want to do it from their yacht

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 week ago

Bro... WHAT???
