Fine, just as long as they contain all of it in an “AI Slop” section.

Many of us aren’t surprised at all. This outcome was obvious to us from a mile away.

everyone around me treated me like a weird freak for staring off at like a wall or out the window or something else

WTF? Almost everyone does this! Sounds like you grew up with assholes who were looking for any excuse to mock and berate you. In which case, I’m sorry.

If you were frequently getting lost in your thoughts and not responding to them when they’d try to get your attention then maybe I could see some light teasing.

One thing I would add, not because it’s wrong to do this but because it might lead to people thinking it odd: if you are staring out of the same window or at the same wall for more than a few minutes, maybe switch your gaze to something else (a different wall or window or whatever). That way it doesn’t draw as much attention and it’s makes you look like you are more seated of your surroundings.

“It’s a Tuesday, so definitely a ‘pause and get mocked day’.”

Might have something to do with Ireland repeatedly protesting what Israel is doing in Gaza and the West Bank. And we all know who is pulling the strings on Trump (aside from Putin).

Netanyahu: “Ireland is being mean to us! Do something!”

Trump: incomprehensible AI slop exhibiting hostility towards Ireland

This is what happens when you let the oil industry and their lobbyists have unfettered control of the narrative and legislation .You get a huge number of politicians falling into their pockets, and progress is stymied at every turn.

It’s actually kind of surprising America has made the limited progress on EVs that we have. But it’s nowhere near enough. And now we are paying the piper.

I don’t know if this is supposed to be a joke

It’s posted in c/politicalmemes. So yeah, it’s a joke.

Or they’re twisting themselves in mental knots, while living deep in denial.

Yup. Very soon the magical flying pigs that fart rainbows will swoop down and deliver them to the true believers! Any day now!

Dollar store reddit, now with extra AI crap? Oooooh… Sounds fucking terrible!

I don’t have a strong preference. I’m just waiting for the Star Trek Wars, followed by the Star Wars Trek (when Star Trek wins the war and Star Wars is sent into exile).

(Futurama reference, for those who didn’t know.)

Did they rename him ‘Mask The Pain Marco’?

She has that boomer mentality, so I know what you mean. But she was born in 1943, so she’s technically not a boomer. She’s in the silent generation. That makes it even worse!

Eighty-fucking-two years old and writing nasty letters to little kids who bring up very reasonable requests! The old ghoul should be sitting in front of a TV watching soap operas and playing mahjong or whatever, not shuffling around in Congress ‘representing’ people.

I’m not sure how practical that is (seems like it would be more complicated than that). But if something like that could be done it would be great.

Conservatives want to try starving vulnerable Californians? Without our revenue dozens of red states will start starving. Would be funny seeing this administration shoot itself in the foot yet again.

While very different in some ways, some parallels between the AI-driven layoffs and the offshore outsourcing layoffs of the mid-2000s are striking.

Ultimately both scenarios were/are driven by corporate greed. And it looks like the AI one is backfiring for many of the same reasons as the offshore one.

They are replacing experienced staff who have strong critical thinking abilities and hands-on knowledge, and the replacements lack the institutional knowledge and the ability to look at the big picture, and they substitute speed for methodological discernment.

Time is cyclical.

I’m sure that soundbite won’t come back to haunt him.

Yeah, he was a good contributor. Shame he’s inactive now.

In other news: water is wet!

Republicans: “Congrats Venezuela, you are now America’s 51st state! Go be Americans!”

Venezuela: “Okay, here are our two Democrat senators. K, thanks.”

Republicans: “No! Not like that!!”
