These apps should be banned, not promoted. In addition to the ramifications of gambling addiction, they allow “trading” on policies, drug trials, and natural disasters that affect our real lives. Also, the only way for these partnerships to be successful is for fans to lose. Boo.

We’re watching companies dismantle human livelihoods to fund the very AI systems threatening our jobs, and barely anyone seems alarmed. How is replacing workers with AI not one of the biggest political and economic debates happening in the world right now?

YOU KNOW WHAT IT MEANS WHEN AN AI COMPANY CUTS OVER A QUARTER OF ITS WORKFORCE, RIGHT?
BREAKING: Microsoft, $MSFT, is offering buyouts to 60,000 workers as part of the company’s efforts to cut costs amid AI adoption, per Bloomberg.
Personnel on select teams in the US, Canada, India, and the UK at a vice president level and below will be eligible.
This reflects ~27% of Microsoft's total workforce.

More layoffs today. From "you won't lose your job to AI, you'll lose your job to someone using AI" to "you will lose your job". Where are the jobs it's creating? Where are the falling prices? Where is the abundance?

Microsoft just made $133.7 BILLION in net income last year. Today they announced they are getting rid of 60,000 workers. Fuck these companies man.

Every generative AI model is built on theft and should be destroyed.

$442m to buy our elections and it constitutes just 0.045% of Elons wealth. That’s the equivalent of the median American household spending $92. If you can’t see the problem with this then I don’t know what to tell you.

why is it always “we cut thousands of employees to save money” and never “we cut millions from our CEOs salaries to save money”

Most of the layoffs will affect workers in Netflix’s product, technology, legal and HR teams.
“Our mission — to entertain the world — is ambitious, and delivering on it requires us to be disciplined about where we prioritize our people and resources,” co-CEOs Ted Sarandos and Greg Peters wrote in an email.

The excuses being used by filmmakers and studios for using GenAI are extremely insulting to the intelligence of the audience and the labor of the artists whose work they stole, and are inflating the projected costs to claim they're saving money while destroying the environment.
"Merry the Christmas Witch" director Tom Walsh says his movie adaptation of the 2012 children’s book would've cost $80 million if he did not use AI. The final budget was $1.5 million.
“We were kind of stuck. The doors are not very open to new kind[s] of ideas and new kind[s] of stories and everything, and that makes it a little tough for independent filmmakers, so that’s where AI came in.”
