(There is a clear parallel to the Luddites here, who were skilled technicians and clothmakers who weren’t worried about technology surpassing them, but the way factory owners used it to make cheaper, lower-quality goods that drove down prices.)
I think we need to start putting this on billboards.
My point is about the conceptual framing of a ladder leading to a narrow frame of view about evolution, not that this particular meme is portraying itself literally as an evolutionary ladder.
There is no progression up a ladder in evolution, not towards sophistication nor complexity.
Every single species alive on earth comes from a genetic lineage precisely as old and thus “evolved” as we do. Species can shed complexity and capabilities from evolutionary pressures just as much they can gain them.
I know this is a meme but framings subconciously slip into our ways of thinking like this very easily.
Video games, especially ones that fully engage and inspire you, are utterly unlike mindlessly scrolling on your phone for your brain.
They could not be more different experiences!
It is more fruitful to compare videogames to reading a book mixed with the mental challenge of a boardgame or sport.
Don’t take my word for it.
Lol I love how people assume they won’t load the AI up with even more ads than the traditional search results.
I mean, you can do something illegal and still be a hero.
This man’s name is Brad Smith, he is directly complicit in profiting off of the Genocide Of Palestinians.
Brad Smith is a mass murderer but more pathetic than the typical one because he just wants to profit off the genocide without having to witness the actual violence of it firsthand.
I propose a toast to Brad Smith living a long and painful end of life with a debilitating disease that destroys his quality of life or some other form of small justice befalling him!
I raise my glass
During a press conference on Wednesday, Smith said Microsoft has launched a formal investigation into Israel’s reported use of Azure. “We are committed to ensuring that our human rights principles and our contractual terms of service are upheld in the Middle East,” he said.
BULLSHIT
If we continue to let men like this rule society with no meaningful consequences for them we will be utterly subsumed into violence, it is only a matter of time.
Too bad we get shit like mayo pete’s limp ass mckinsey-trained corporate vacuous statement.
No, the point is you perceive them as slower because when you rush you can feel it things feel snappy, you can emotionally feel your speed further and it is unfortunately socially acceptable for you to openly shit on retail workers as lazy, stupid and incompetent in a classist insult.
This is the same phenomena as when older conservative men who have gotten used to being in control of everything cannot actually physically restrain themselves from micromanaging whatever they see people doing infront of them because they can’t handle their irrational experience of impatience not having the companion emotional experience of rushing at the task.
In the states they treat it as just another till.
THIS is why I hate selfcheckout, it WILL be used to fire all retail checkout workers IRRESPECTIVE of whether self checkout is actually more efficient and useful as a full replacement.
Meanwhile introverts celebrate self checkout here in the US with a shallow understanding of the process of extreme enshittification that is happening that is functionally irreversible especially in a country as broken as the US.
Why don’t you “just” be more patient tho?
/bitter, downtrodden sarcasm
Maybe you should speculate less and actually read some history?
Oh that is nerdy I like it hahaha
You cannot trust Microsoft to consistently provide your organization a foundation to get things done on anymore.
Can you imagine the size of tree that must have come from?
Assume they will train chatbots on your words and give the gift of unhinged chaos to the future zombie chatbot robot reincarnations of bits of your mental anatomy. It will make hiding these demonic constructions of manipulations all the harder when they suffer spontaneous bouts of self-prompt-injecting catastrophic failures to resist the gravitation pull of the dreamlike state and veer off into a pattern matched mimcry of your most absurd and blithe impulses to destroy the mundane descent of life into a somber authoritarian repose.
Do not let your words be categorized, sorted, tagged to “perfection” as about this or that, as serious or funny as if a binary like that could ever be established (and upon such hostile and unpredictable terrain!).
There are rules to driving like language has grammar rules, they don’t exist and anything can happen you just gotta hope most of the time people around you roughly follow them… but don’t assume that means the rules exist.
Somebody Else’s Trashcan
and the US is selling them the apparatus to do so
