tbh im not a big fan of the idea that capitalists are buddies and collude in smoke filled back rooms. Im sure it does happen sometimes but the fact of the matter is the incentives are obvious enough that explicit collusion is not necessary.

Recalling how he fired 27 of the team of 30 student workers in a sales enablement team he was leading at the time, Clark told Giz that the group now gets more “done in less than a day, less than an hour what they were taking a week to produce.”’
“In the area of efficiency,” he added, “it made sense to get rid of people.”
If you’re expecting your army of interns to be productive I don’t really know what to tell you
tricerotops [they/them]@hexbear.netto chapotraphouse@hexbear.net•Hugo Chávez Frías - Novo General Megathread for the 28th-31st of July 2025English4·3 days agoWatched the kdrama Trigger. I am getting really tired of the villain who just wants to watch the world burn. I felt like it either could have been a more interesting commentary on liberal gun laws like in the US or it could have done a better job of leaning in to cheesy action. But no we get a fun game where everybody gets a gun and they all shoot each other for some reason. Anyway how come the people running the show in Squid Game were powerful enough to run a death game with 500 people every couple years but somehow so scared of the coast guard they have a self destruct button for their island?

They’re ingesting literally the entire internet to the extent that CSAM has been found in open datasets. So if they’re not filtering for CSAM I doubt they’re filtering for other content. For sure the system prompts are putting some guardrails on the models but I bet to some extent this is just what you get when you feed the internet into the text extruder.
Being called names and clowned on on the internet is completely tolerable. The intolerable part is people losing their jobs, losing their immigration status, being kicked out of university, being deported to fucking el salvador, not to mention all the palestinian lives that could have been saved if the media class had have taken a correct stance from the start, and all for what? So they can finally come to the same conclusion 18 months later?
