I mean, with winter coming in, and universities not bothering to heat the building, teams turning my potato work laptop into a furnace is the only thing keeping us warm this winter...
Serious question - is their long term strategy bad optimisation to sell hardware? Do they have shares in intel or something?!?
We also need irrational fucks for the complex field don't we?
I think, and here the key word is think as this goes beyond my mandate so to speak, it's more an act of resistance. A bit like protesting, but with less risk.
I'd say the aim is to rallying over retribution, to push those "good men" into fighting more strongly. It's not a bad tactic, it'll be interesting to see how it pans out.
It's also not really that widespread, searches for it are up because it's making the rounds is all.
The first time you say no to someone you really want to be with, that is when the 4B life starts. Till then, it's just business as usual (I really hope you don't sleep with/date people you don't like!).
The life continues when you see them with someone else, and realise some things can't be undone. People move on, they're not static NPCs you can just reload and date later.
It goes ever on, life stops for no-one and it runs it's course far too soon. To those who choose that path, make sure you know where it leads.
Edit: nice catch apostrofail! I'll keep no-one though, I feel they need that special dash bond ;)
I mean, I have a foolproof way to always come out on top at a casino, it's a simple trick that gamblers will hate you for.
Academic here - it's 100% genocide. More so, it's the worst kind of genocide, it's sanctioned genocide built upon conflating a people with their government.
But they were all of them deceived, for another meme was made...
You know, this thread really needs a list of of the publishers responsible for this travesty.
"Publishers Hachette Book Group Inc, HarperCollins Publishers LLC, John Wiley & Sons Inc and Penguin Random House LLC" - According to Reuters
I think the shutting down after such "incidents" is the final expression in this piece of art.

Let's pause a moment and just appreciate how much money Alphabet actually make net (after expenses). $73,795,000,000 last year - higher than the GDP of entire nations, in profit.
The "bad" year, 2022 that drove all this change, they only made $59,972,000,000 net. Oh how terrible (!)
5 years ago, they made $34,343,000,000 net, so they've more than doubled profits.
Take a moment to appreciate that, and really consider if they "need" the money.
Prof here - take a look at it from our side.
Our job is to evaluate YOUR ability; and AI is a great way to mask poor ability. We have no way to determine if you did the work, or if an AI did, and if called into a court to certify your expertise we could not do so beyond a reasonable doubt.
I am not arguing exams are perfect mind, but I'd rather doubt a few student's inability (maybe it was just a bad exam for them) than always doubt their ability (is any of this their own work).
Case in point, ALL students on my course with low (<60%) attendance this year scored 70s and 80s on the coursework and 10s and 20s in the OPEN BOOK exam. I doubt those 70s and 80s are real reflections of the ability of the students, but do suggest they can obfuscate AI work well.
You know, one wonders if all academic works should be released under "academic license"...
Might be nice to sting these big companies for our free labour.
