Can ANYONE help Alex out? Im racking my brain for ways, but im across the country and broke atm Please help a real one out here

I'm going to be kicked out onto the street in 2 days

I love starting my morning getting film by strangers I love more when the wannabe videographer is trying to play director while actively behind the wheel of a vehicle moving at highway speeds 🙃🫠

Former councilman Leo Mankiewicz tonight: “The most infamous concentration camps are known for the towns they are located — Dachau, Treblinka, Belzec, & the Polish town forever now known by the name of Auschwitz. Is this the legacy you want to leave on Surprise? Because that will be your legacy.”

So Site Safety Guy at work does video editing from his phone. Its a hobby of his, but his work is pretty good The icons from the app he uses are burned into the screen so bad. Its hard to see anything else lol

So the boss from my old department just got let go last week Ironic because he was antagonistic toward me for like 6 months before i transferred departmens. I fucked up worse than he did before the transfer, arguably But he got caught straight up not doing his job, so i dont even feel bad

Are there good places for anarchist talk on Reddit or is it all just gonna be echo chamber, di-chomatic thinking? I legit haven't actually looked. Im scared to talk politics on that app that go beyond the subs I already interact with

Hey boss. Its raining out here. You sure i gotta go out there and work? Oh. You ARE sure, huh? Well does the work need to be done on the iPad? It does... okay. Do we have all-weather cases yet? No? You /sure/ i gotta go out there and work...?

AI is a social tool. That's why they dont want it regulated or changed They arent trying to advance technology. Thats just a happy coincidence. No. Theyre trying to advance their control of *you*

Forget the credits/gold distinction between sci fi and fantasy If the background sparks come from something metal: sci fi If the background sparks come from something wood or organic: fantasy

Experiments conducted with several AI systems by me are producing fascinating results - and raising questions about why the actual fuck these things are being let loose in society unregulated. Theyre niche. Theyre limited. Theyre digital parrots. They're based on language, not reasoning.

Little late to this realization, but it also took some time for me to get to it: Im done working for any boss that treats or sees those theyre responsible for as children My old bosses used to use the "youre my children" line to seem joyous and hearty. Stepping away, its insulting.

Age verification? I recorded the original Pokémon television run on VHS tapes I played Red and Blue before the Game Boy Color came out. Yellow version was a lunchtime myth shared in whispers. May your god(s) help you if you chose Bulbasaur for a starter

So every Redditor in existence just has Main Character Syndrome, huh?

"Even in the theoretical use cases, genAI requires the expertise to know the process and outcome WITHOUT IT..." is the key here GenAI should have never been given to the public at large. But it does. And now society at large gets to deal with consequences

OMG I just had to do a homework assignment in *Edge* because ive got both Chrome and Waterfox* so locked down with lack of permissions lmao. *not a typo. Firefox-based but more privacy automatically

The chatbots are not magic The chatbots are not human The chatbots are not infallible The chatbots are not a god Chatbots do not "know" They do not "think" They do not "reason" They do not have context Chatbots are not legally accountable Importantly, chatbots dont know truth. Just patterns.

My classmates this semester are just blatantly using AI and not even *trying* to hide it, huh? Gotta remove those brackets from "Hello [classmate]" in the discussion responses before hitting "submit"!

I mean, props to the guy for knowing limits but also fuck the guy for wanting to bring capitalism to space

Think I finally figured out why I have "wandering eyes" when most people seem to be able to just look ahead. And its all because of Jehovah's Witnesses on my jobsite today.

Another day, another reminder that people really do just wanna believe in magic/AI because a simple "How does this actually work?" takes too much mental energy

People are getting real weird about AI out here....

"If your logic is that it's okay to steal a movie or a photo using piracy, then logically it should be okay for Big Companies to scrape your personal data!"

YouTube just tried to compare Sam Altman and tech bros scraping online data to average people pirating books and movies and I swear ive never closed a video so fast

I wonder if my feelings about Pokémon are similar to the feelings my grandfather had about Disney Its so jarring to see 5 and 6 year olds walking around with Pikachu on their T-shirts today when I also was that 5 and 6 year old almost 30 years ago

"Law enforcement agency that respects the Constitution and laws of America" is an oxymoron

Was on Reddit more often than normal last night, and I actually had some fun banter with other users. I logged off with that feeling you get when you leave a party after its over. It was nice. Haven't felt that way in an online environment since at least Old Twitter. Maybe not even then.

All media should be publicly or worker owned

Excuse me? Lmao

Ah okay. Classic "we're halfway through and this isnt exactly what i meant with these instructions" scenario So glad im not the one that has to initiate communication to address this anymore. Customers go brrrr, bosses go raaaaaaaaggghhhh, and i go "tippy tappy data collection makes me happy"

Nooooooo not the boss sending a mass email out about a client wanting to change the scope of a project halfway through!

Seriously if it weren't for the industry im trying to get a job in, I'd leave Windows behind and never look back. Too bad some companies see Linux as an active threat to their software

Hey Windows, how's vibe-coding, AI code, and those "updates" going for you?

Is it 1984 or Fahrenheit 451 that ends with the main character watching some rando on TV get arrested for his crimes so state media could "claim" they got the "perpetrator" while he hides out next to the river? I read that as a kid and was blown away at that level of media disinformation.

Another day, another realization that my old boss was straight up toxic, in some very subtle ways He wasnt the typical yell-at-you hothead. Very genuinely sociopathic tendencies.

Im seeing far too many bad takes about the Epstein Files already disproven by the Epstein Files....

Oh they care a *LOT* They care about power They care about control They care about privilege without responsibility They care about maintaining *their* way of life to the point others' lives do not matter Never think they dont care. Because they do. Just not what they say they do.

I just typed out Reddit humor on a Bluesky post while waiting for Linux to install on a spare laptop. Normally im the type that would be told to touch grass, but y'all do know what i do for work, right?

My typing is too loud for the family, so I have to look at new keyboards lmao Its not my fault my typing makes my desk sound like a rock band, m'kay? Technically its Lenovo's fault for manufacturing the keyboard I use 🤷‍♂️

Me: Why is my hard drive so full? Where is this random 60GB going to? Also me: -has 59.8GB folder on Desktop literally named "to move to old comp"- ...

Imma wipe windows 10 off an old laptop after cloning the drive, then installing Linux so I can run a jellyfin server

I just dont know how to order at drive-thrus anymore apparently Every time ive used one recently, I get interrupted immediately by questions that... I was LITERALLY already answering...

This parking lot plays Star Wars music clips over those cop camera things with the solar panels and flashing blue lights

"By people who've clearly studied the playbook" Makes me think the playbook was never intended for places like Minneapolis

Common people dont understand the ToC and TOS they sign Government officials dont understand the roles theyre swearing to uphold or the rules required for those positions We're a society of "creating rules just to willingly misunderstand them" for our own gain

Because you shouldn't be praised or complimented for doing the bare minimum

In personal news: the rumors are true My employer is going through layoffs, especially for those positions that dont directly contribute to the bottom line: i.e. middle management, support staff, office work They even fired my old boss, which is ironic as hell. Thought it'd be me honestly.

Isn't this doublespeak from 1984 from Orwell?

About to get dragged on reddit lol

Can someone loan me some motivation today? Im all out. And fucks. Im out of those, too. But ive got a guy for that
