"AI" is just pattern recognition and reproduction models. They routinely fail at basic tasks. It is like having an incompetent junior dev that you have to watch like a hawk because not only do they write bad code, they routinely steal it from copyrighted sources. It helps bad coders pretend to be good ones because their code follows a popular pattern but it is often the wrong pattern for solving the problem - a problem they didn't actually think about because they thought "AI" would solve it.

The real business case for LLMs in tech is as a propaganda tool for disciplining labor. Tech labor is in demand and therefore expensive. Executives and managers would like to decrease those wages and "AI" provides a rhetorical means by which to do so, including justifying rounds of firings. Productivity will crash because they are literally just layoffs to make higher profits, not because tasks have been automated.

This aligns with the general expectation of a market crash, which has been brewing for years and is now being more or less intentionally created. The big companies are building up "war chests" so that they can scoop up companies that fail and increase their monopolies during the later bailout period.

All lizards want to be a snake. But only a select few are chosen for greatness.

The EU doesn't know how to do anything else.

This shows up on my main feed. Lemmy has had the ability to designate local-only communities for over a year. This is a public, federated post.

It achieved false catharsis, the main scam product Democrats are always selling. Performative nonsense immediately contradicted by their actual (lack of) actions. Immediately afterwards they helped confirm a Trump judicial appointment with help from Booker. His long speech wasn't even to delay any legislation. It has no so-called momentum, which you can note has no stated descriptors in the other comment. Momentum for what? Sitting on your hands and then voting for them again in 4 years? This is not a real political party, it is just the controlled opposition of the US political duopoly trying its usual parlor tricks to make its potential voters stop recognizing how they aren't cleaning house or really doing anything at all.

Real parties do exist. It is a struggle due to the aforementioned duopoly and general level of political education in the USA, but it is a struggle worth joining because this is the only "opposition" you will ever see being forwarded by the Democratic Party by its own volition. Every bit of progress has been hard fought and its vanguard has always been left organizing outside of the major parties. Join that vsnguard!

He is just extremely into Juche? A self-sufficient country with multiple supply chains feeding into each other? WRONG! Every cooperative will manufacture every product from bottom to top with nothing shared between products.

Save money, learn to live cheaply, and become a socialist organizing your community.

That's correct. SEIU is wed to the Democratic Party. The Democratic Party supports most of what Trump does but knows it would be bad optics to outright say so. And they have no functional means of resistance - their constant goal is to get elected by simply not being Republicans so that they don't have to actually implement publicly beneficial policy. And because of this, they guarantee a Republican victory the next time around. So SEIU has a worse than useless political arm, it actually works against itself due to myopia, liberal cooption, and corruption.

But the nice thing about organized labor is that you can struggle within it. You can help make your local better, help tie it to practical action, help get socialists into positions of power within it. It will sometimes be a fight but this is also infinitely more impact than you would ever have via electoral politics.

Republicans already set this precedent decades ago. Democrats retconned the power of the parliamentarian.

"Next time around, there's no going back now"

Republicans have repeatedly overruled or fired the parliamentarian for years and years. Democrats later tried to pretend they were an absolute roadblock for campaign promises.

They will "go back" immediately.
