It annoys the hell out of me, because there are legitimately a lot of things machine learning does quite fantastically, in particular image upscaling in PC gaming and all manner of image analysis tools to help find needles in haystacks of satellite imagery. But instead, this bullshit stock inflater
Global temperatures are the new economy. Higher is better. Sea level rise makes real estate more valuable, diminishing resources are in greater demand, desperate people will pay a premium to survive.
We're going to miss our targets but only because we decided they were less important than ruining our product in the most expensive a s destructive way we could think of.
It is, for C-suites. They think it can do the job of the lower level orifice workers. They have this idea that it'll magically print money so profit goes up without them having to really PAY anyone. They don't realize how damaging, dangerous, and deranged it really is.
Imagine their disappointment when they find out they don’t need the office building, but they do need the workers. The exact opposite of what they wanted.
Oh they found that out in the pandemic. And have kept FAFOing, because it turns out the only reason they have those huge office buildings are for taxes (duh).
Commuting hurts productivity AND the environment. FUCK office buildings, remote all the work you can.
I’ve been working remote since 2017. At the time, my location’s office shut and the CTO straight up told us, “well I don’t think you will be as effective as in office engineers,” after we had just done a controlled experiment that proved we were more effective remote. Execs gonna exec. 😛
Hate C(X)Os. They get paid far more than they're worth, and do virtually nothing.
So done with that culture. Then again, I'm an anarchist. So I'm all about tearing down the system and building back better for the workers.
Electricity needs of AI, data centers in the Arizona desert where they require tons of water to keep things cool. Not good, Bob.
As if AZ has so much as a drop to spare.
Biden can now officially create a Climate Change executive order and require an application process for any company to use more than X amount of our collective energy resources.
They'll make it so he can't do anything.
SCOTUS already neutered the EPA. And the order will just be stalled and sent to SCOTUS.
The thing they've done is made it so that they get the last say on everything now. And if they don't like the POTUS they can just rule against the cases related to him.
True, but SCOTUS has no enforcement branch, other than the executive branch of the US controlled by Biden. I am not expecting success, so much as making a point about their ridiculous inconsistency.
Based on what I've seen red states have no problem sending their national guard to help enforce (or rather prevent enforcement) of SCOTUS rulings.
(like with the Texas razor wire).
I'm not expecting anything because one side tries to play by the rules, the other side bans the rule book and burns it.
Funny how 20 years ago companies like Google and Apple and all the new tech companies were utterly beloved as a benevolent new kind of capitalism. And now they've all publicly devolved into the shareholder-centric jackals they are.
