How exactly is replacing beef with artificial beef marketing for eating beef?
It’s marketing for not giving up beef now. “Oh don’t worry, you don’t have to give up anything, just wait for technology to fix it!”
And how can you say AI is not replacing jobs with the constant waves of layoffs people are constantly seeing everyday?
We’re in a recession and they’re using AI as an excuse to lay people off. The AI isn’t actually able to do their jobs, they just don’t want to spook investors.


I think the effectiveness of this attack will be diminished by Republicans literally always accusing Democrats of being communists.
It’ll work on the people it always works on, everyone else will ignore it as noise.


No, actually, Israel’s fate is directly tied to the US’s fate, and the US’s to Israel, because Israel is the 51st state.
Why do you think all the fascists love Israel and crack down on anyone who opposed its genocide?
It’s all one empire.
We probably don’t need to build multiple terabytes of data centers for a better spell checker.


I guess “sucks” is relative, but for a normal person a lot of stuff that’s “perfect” actually sucks. It’s overly verbose, with lots of unnecessary adjectives and descriptors and punctuation that bloats the word count. It’s technically good, but masturbatory. The “Look at how smart I am!” school of writing. There are people who write like this from their training, and they will be mistaken for AI.


Humans can tell if something sucks, and if it sucks they’ll call it AI. That’s not a reliable way to detect AI, though.
I think that’s more of a localized pressure, like how corn sweat makes the Midwest super humid.
When cities can’t afford other things they usually cut them to save money.
I’m not sure Flock is the exception. Might be, though. The US is a shithole.


That’s called content moderation.
Bit idea:
A scaremongering ad with a dramatic voiceover meant to convince people to stop supporting Mamdani, but because he refuses to say “America deserved 9/11”
Beef is not close to being artificial, this is marketing designed to trick you into eating beef.
AI also is not close to actually replacing jobs. It’s being used for labor intensification, those people still have jobs but now on top of their old job they have to also wrestle with the shitty AI to try and make it useful. The idea that AI is going to replace labor is also marketing, designed to trick investors who dream of the day they won’t ever have to pay anyone or negotiate with unions. There will be a point where it can, but the LLMs can’t, and they never will, and as soon as we stop pretending the bubble will pop.
On both accounts you’re just regurgitating the marketing you have been fed.
the benefit gained from using AI
They always tell on themselves.
Here’s an idea: no beef and no chatbots
Beef kills a lot of people, actually. People who work in slaughterhouses have higher rates of suicide, addiction, overdose, etc.
Power consumption has issues other than emissions, the increased demand is driving up utility prices and reopening coal plants.
This looks particularly sloppy, though.
I guess you only gain an eye for that sort of thing once you see enough of it.


That’s basically neoliberalism: infrastructure, education, healthcare, clean water, all of that costs money. Just sell it off.


I think it’s just more obvious now.


It’s why they limited voting to white male property owners i.e. 6% of the country at the time.
Fullness has very little do with literally being full of food tbh
