Another facet of what I said above: facts don't matter. Emotions matter. Which is a stupid way to live, but that's humans.
The average person, if you told them like "the square root of 9 is 3, you fucking idiot" isn't going to believe you. Which, amusingly, shows they are kind of a fucking idiot.
Facts don't change people's minds. The main thing that matters is "is the source in my in-group?"
This is kind of a stupid way to live, but that's the human baseline. So that's how all the conservatives live, and why they won't come around on things like climate change. They're not listening to facts. They're listening to their in-group.
It does feel like the average person has the self control of a toddler.
The megacorp I work for is frothing at the mouth to replace people with AI. Most of leadership doesn't know anything about programming, but still feel confident to talk about it.
One of the big common themes of conservatism is following the leader. They all want to bend the knee. They love hierarchy.
Teams is the worst. Microsoft keeps finding new lows.
Not excited for this to be used to squash union efforts (legally or not)
Using a summary written by a soulless lie machine is irresponsible
Most people seem to not even have any notion of how things can be better. They never even think to look up like "block ads". They just take whatever fuckery they get
He's a horrible person who deserves no peace and no dignity.
No shit.
The people who made the decision to fire for AI should be kicked out.
Many (most?) employees get a salary and are done. Only shareholders benefit from the long term health of the company. Most of the shareholders don't put any meaningful work into producing value.
This is one of the core injustices of capitalism. People who don't work profit.
That doesn't change the square root of 9, and it's stupid to discard facts because the speaker is rude.
