@peanutbutterl0v@TheDataHubX This has to be rage bait. I live in WA state. Family of 7, one income and we live so comfortably. These people must have enormous debt or 5K mortgages.
@jason_howerton Stop ALL sugar and dairy for 60 days and see if that helps. I stopped all sugar/dairy last year to lose weight and noticed all my tonsil stones disappeared. Added sugar/dairy back to diet, stones came back. Worth a try with diet.
@jason_howerton@jrbjrbjrbjrbjrb Jason. Hear me out. Stop ALL SUGAR and dairy and see if that helps. I mean ALL sugar. I stopped eating sugar last year and stopped having tonsil stones. Started sugar again, stones came back. Worth a try if you don't want surgery.
@VigilantFox@thedankoe So all the trades will become obsolete?? And AI will take over law enforcement, teaching, all service industries, child care? Like I keep hearing this but I don't buy it. Like a robot is going to do ALL those jobs??
@middle_class_us "The option when money was tight?" In what generation?? When money is tight you eat ramen or peanut butter sandwiches, not fast food. In every generation.
@hjluks Start gardening!! No harrowing in that activity!! So many movements done daily that most people don't do. Go grow stuff and tend the soil and soul!!!
@YorkieFight@edgaralandough They tried to make my mom medicate me in school. She refused. I'm so glad. Adhd is a cool super power if you learn how to use it well.
@edgaralandough This is really good. I am 53 with adhd and just now slowing down with the list thing. I also created a garden and fenced it and nobody is allowed to tell me what to do in it. It's 100% an adhd wonderland. A beautiful glorious mess and masterpiece of my very own making!!!
@ALTARAKS@hjluks My in-laws live next door. They tend a massive yard and garden, daily and Papa still climbs on the dang roof at 75. I'm so proud of them. They stay fit and active right there tending a huge garden.
@Sureplantsalot@Breaking911 ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ฒ I lovvveeee chickadees. I have one that comes every morning and he has learned to trust me and doesn't fly away anymore.
@tony_pieta@Breaking911 We have one also sit perched on my trellis. We named him Henryโค๏ธโค๏ธ. And I named our daily crow, Fonzie. ๐คฃ๐คฃ birds are amazing
@BrandonStraka@GeriPerna To be honest, the 80s was such an amazing time that we ALL really just want to live there forever...especially Madonna bc she was an iconic legend.
Let me trace the timeline here because nobody's connecting it.
Step 1: Scrape the entire internet. Every book, every article, every conversation, every piece of art, every forum post. Do it without asking. Do it without paying.
Step 2: Train a model on all of it. Call it "artificial intelligence."
Step 3: Go to BlackRock's Infrastructure Summit and announce: "We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter."
Step 3 is where you sell people's own knowledge back to them. On a meter.
They took the collective output of human thought, compressed it into a model, and now they want to charge you by the token to access a version of what you and everyone you know already created.
One Reddit user put it perfectly: "They stole all this data from us, the people, our life's work, creativity, art, by devouring the internet and blowing through all copyright laws. Now they want to sell it back to us in the form of a utility."
Imagine if someone photocopied every book in the public library, burned the library down, and then opened a subscription service for the copies.
That's the metered intelligence business model.
And they're pitching it to infrastructure investors as though they invented water.
@miroismyhero@JJtrollzLibs@end3of6days9 Depends on the product and location you live. I can get loads of stuff overnight from Prime. Not that I need anything that emergent. Nothing Amazon sells is that important for my daily life. It's still an amazing service. Apparently not in all locations
@Dagwood__T@end3of6days9 THIS!!! I've only had one issue with Amazon with a very lost package. And they refunded the money and told me to keep the item if it came. I love Amazon Prime!! Like you said, must depend on location.
@end3of6days9 My Amazon account is ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ. There's nothing I need overnight. And if someone drives it to my door!!! The problem is now so many different vendors and many are foreign which increases shipping time. Again, nothing i buy from there is that emergent. I still love the service
