That’s probably the perception. Democrats have been in power for 4 years, things didn’t get better for a lot of people and then they say to vote for them for more of the same. Surprisingly that doesn’t help with voter enthusiasm. They’ll have more chance next time with messaging things won’t get worse with them after Trump mishandled stuff.

Simple, good-sounding things they want to hear is what wins elections these days.

Robocop tube begins playing. OCP starts construction of Delta City.

Engineers: we can’t make transistors smaller because they wouldn’t work because of those quantum effects

Different engineers: but what if we use quantum effects as the basis to make smaller transistors work

Technically a checkers program is also AI if you check the dictionary definition. Many will say it’s not “real AI” as it doesn’t have general intelligence but it’s still AI. Snake oil salesmen love that.

Unpopular opinion: too big budget gives a bad movie. Lower budgets forces people to be more creative and keeps the suits away that would otherwise make it a designs by committee.

An order of magnitude better would give trust. Slightly better doesn´t convince people.

And then the car mistook the side of a white semi for the sky and plowed full speed into the semi, decapitating the driver. These systems see, but don’t really understand what they see.

So you don’t get launched out the window and then crushed by your own car for the non-semi accidents.

You don’t want to live on Mars when Musk is in charge of the oxygen you breath.

Wouldn’t be the first civilization that disappeared because the elite doesn’t want to compromise and give up status. It’s a constant in history.

It’s the modern version of sacrificing people in a volcano to appease the gods.

“Fuck it, might as well keep doing what I’m doing.”

And that last group is going to be angry when they can’t keep doing their stuff when insurance rates go insane so they can’t buy houses or cars, or when food prices keep going up even faster than they are now.

They really want to force gamers to buy their new games which are pretty much like the old games but now with extra helpings of ads, gambling mechanics and micro transactions on top

Dithering, it’s a lost art. It always reminds me of Monkey Island.

“Murder your darlings” as they say in writing.

Our boss was freaking out over people sometimes doing some private calls during work hours and at a certain point absolutely forbade it. So yeah, people would just end the call at 17:00 sharp and switch off the work phone. It took one week before that rule was rescinded.

It’s EU law that if you have to be standby to pick up the phone and go on location at a moment’s notice, those are working hours and need to be paid in full. Most companies are pretty careful to not put it anywhere in the contracts or house rules that you have to be on stand-by, but just verbally keep pushing for it. If they keep pushing, push back with asking for the written rules.
