Ok for arguments sake then how much is actually tied to a person’s ability to self-respect and grow? I imagine it’s far less common than we may think?

How much of this do you think can be tied back to good parents?

Because as humans we are insanely stupid. I think we all know the answer. Money is why Arizona. We don’t do what’s right. We do what is cheap and effective. It just happens that sometimes that is right too.

I’m taking none of it with me. Let it all burn.

Yup. Now are we going to learn this time or is it just a cycle we are doomed to repeat?

It’s going to be akin to death by cummulative poisoning.

Agree and despite what it may seem like it really is gradual right now. What people are avoiding (god the C level discussions I have been witness to is mindblowing) is the long term damage of their choices today.

The amount of times I have heard executive talks with “you know we both have kids around the same age what do you see this doing?” And they always wrap it with something positive. These fuckers most likely have their kids in private schools, not to mention their kids have all the connections these fucking parents can afford them.

In short the execs making the decisions have their heads equally shoved so far up their own asses they are ignoring the problems on the horizon.

My only complaint here is that there is a lot of very, very valid use cases for “AI” specifically “Agentic AI”.

We (including myself) may not like a lot of those uses because it devalues my fellow workers but it does not change the fact that it works.

The problem is everyone needs to be so goddamn polarizing and god forbid we have a mature honest discussion about the tools being built and how they are changing society as we know it.

We should be discussing and pushing for UBI across the world for decades now as youth unemployment is already at dangerous levels in continents like Africa (lol of course we don’t care because black people) but no instead we have asshats pushing a narrative of “AI bad”. It’s not. It has many purposes. Smarter people know this and it’s why it isn’t going away and the train is not going to stop if you don’t pull your head out of your ass.

I can’t wait to dip out of society and find somewhere in the middle of nowhere to live a quiet life with minimal technology in my life. I’m done with all of you. I stand by what I’ve said to my mum many times over the years. I hate people. I love persons.

Nothing changes until the government reprioritizes which system is in play and then it becomes a global problem. I think we both want the same thing, but the reality is we aren’t getting it until it gets much worse and/or blood spills and I have neither the capacity nor the appetite for either.

Being blunt. I am 48 and have 3 kids to feed and 2 have disabilities. I have no interest in the risk that comes with doing something pro bono on the hopes it will work especially when everyone else is doing it pro bono. There’s no immediate individual incentive.

I may want socialism but I live in a capitalist world. I can’t have me and my family survive on good feelings.

Couple of tagents.

I miss the Popeyes of my youth.

“Louisiana fast” because it was a jab at “black people time”. Plus the food was made by black people now in Toronto every fast food joint is run by South Asians.

Also they took away my Po boys and shrimp.

Biscuits still slap though.

Just an FYI many immigrants are racist if not more racist. There’s a lot at play there including but not limited to their cultural and religious background.

That you know of!

Yeah!

You’re 100% correct. My youngest son is autism and will 100% be with me perpetually. I’m open to the other two staying longer too, but not for a free ride and not forever. I received no handouts in life and it made me who I am. Life is not easy.

I’m sorry you feel that way. Life sucks and doesn’t care about you. I’d rather my kids learn this from someone who loves them conditionally than from some random asshat that doesn’t give a shit.

If you’re looking for a participation medal for existing don’t expect one from me.

Child here that moved out at 18 and now a parent to 3.

I hear you, and I know the status quo is changing but fuck me I want my kids out at 18. I lived in shitty roach infested places in horrible neighbourhoods. I’ve wondered how I would have money for food let alone rent. That’s life. That’s growing. I want them to experience that because without the bad times you don’t learn to appreciate the good ones.

I know I’m alone in this sentiment I don’t care. I will always be there for my kids in true times of need and I know the world now isn’t the world of 30 years ago but fuck it. Survive or Thrive.

To me they’re not sequels maybe that’s the difference. Raimi has been open about handing young directors the keys to see what their vision is. If anything I view ED as more of an anthology at this point all the same and yet all different

2013 slaps you shut your whore mouth! /s

Also Evil Dead is something that has never had a bad iteration. Fight me.

Can it also be the summer of George? Lol

something stupid.

Say no more.

CI/CD If right should be including a try: AI except: no AI

It never existed who are you delusional people?! Lol
