In terms of office work, the technology pretty much already exists to cause a change akin to the change that happened from pre-photocopier (so typing pools), only the odd phone line per office building, no fax, obviously no computers/email/internet/mobile phones era office work to the office work of today.

The energy use is unconscionable. The people currently owning the tech that runs large language models are awful, but it is possible for companies and individuals to run their own llm's.

Anyway, the point is, would it be daft for anyone to insist on working in a typing pool in a 1950s office today? I get why people dislike ai. I am not really trying to defend it, I'm just saying that it really is a mistake for anyone to just try and ignore it.

Yeah the double bullshit ruins the alphabet. It's much better to go ... T U V VE X Y Z.

Non-white Welsh people are fine, as a rule.

He died doing something he loved: being eviscerated by black death thousands of miles away from the few people that pretended to love him in order to gain access to his money.

This is not my wheelhouse, and presumably were what I am about to suggest be right a million other people would have already pointed it out (not on lemmy necessarily, just in general). But aren't all of those sides equal so the relationship between snake's and any cube side's length effectively (as we see it anyway) shrinks/grows as it moves around the hypercube.

To be honest I don't even understand what the cartoon means by 'two non-consecutive parts of its coils' so I wouldn't take my word for anything.

The IOC sell the rights for billions then tell the athletes, the actual content creators, they have to be amateur. In that sense the athletes come across as complete mugs.

Obviously a small number of high profile athletes make loads of money, the rest are skint. Sound familiar? (Hint: hello capitalism), whose 'competition' ethos/blag is absolutely promoted by the games. Unfortunately for us all, we need global co-operation, if we are to divert course away from cataclysmic climate change, not global competition, with the many ending up skint while the few take all of the money. The olympics do not help; they are an anachronism

Trump using it for an illegal re-election boost, as he inevitably will, really puts another nail in its coffin. Pity the world cup is in the US (again). FIFA is killing that goose too.

By the time they get to 97 the beach will be gone due to climate change induced sea level rise so in a way it doesn't matter that they can't retire.

Yeah it is that comedian work colleague putting them back in the wrong place for a laugh.

A prior head of NASA is quoted multiple times saying reusable first stages would be impossible, only 5-10 years before SpaceX landed 2 falcon heavy first stages simultaneously.

And were they reused?

Apology not accepted as obviously disingenuous. Your smugness is trumped by your foolishness.

Life is too short to bother to be honest, so in as few a words as possible: what we need to do is ditch an economic system that depends upon permanent expansion.

We have been on the same track in many respects since Reagan/Thatcher.
