Ah, fuck I miss the goons, too. I still log in every couple of years or so. It’s sort of like walking down a street you used to live on. It’s all still familiar, but nothing is really the same.

1·7 months agoThis is a solid Futurama reference and, frankly, I’m disappointed in Lemmy for not giving it the attention it deserves.

Why do you ask so many questions? ಠ_ಠ
75Mbit down / 10 Mbit up with a 1.2TByte monthly cap: $30 a month.
But he still has to do it with the plastic knife.
Well you’d have to be fool enough to believe Australia is a real place to begin with.
This commercial had people thinking spaghetti grows on trees.
It’s worth noting that although piracy is up, the rates are still far lower than they were 20, 10 or even five years ago. Whether people continue to access content illegally remains to be seen – hopefully this is just a ‘blip’ and rates of theft begin to fall again as the economy recovers.
I can’t be bothered to pull back all the layers of naive optimism in just these two sentences.
I’m happy to see this comment is being well received. I’ve been really frustrated with how this misinformation has been dismantling otherwise productive conversations on the topic. This is also the first I’ve seen of the video, and now that you’ve made the connection for me things make more sense. Thanks for doing that.
Yes, it will be described in exactly that way, but only in the wake of the next largest transfer of wealth from the middle class and the poor to the rich, which will get a shrug at best.
I’ve had similar frustration with conversations that focus on how devastating AI will be, without much mention of who is responsible or how to hold them accountable. One person compared my take to “guns don’t kill people, people kill people.” I feel like responsibility has already been successfully deflected and we’ve barely gotten started. I don’t even know how to have that conversation at this point.
Why don’t they taste like apples!? (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻
The future is now.
Large companies are targeted constantly. I’m sure the qualifier ‘latest’ was quite out of date by the time the article was published.
“By moderating demand, we could see vacancies come down, and as a result—and they could come down fairly significantly and I think put supply and demand at least closer together than they are, and that that would give us a chance to have lower—to get inflation—to get wages down and then get inflation down without having to slow the economy and have a recession and have unemployment rise materially. So there’s a path to that,”

So minor correction on my part if we’re being very particular, and sometimes that’s important. ‘Get wages down’ could have different implications than ‘keep wages down’. Elsewhere, he mentions wage growth being a good thing, however it is (at the time of the press conference) growing much faster than their target inflation rate.
