It can be that or it can be the satisfaction of doing useful work well. Venture capitalists don’t do useful work so they don’t know that satisfaction. And they don’t know what else to do but chase money because they lack the capacity to appreciate life as it is and are probably scared to just stop, in case they have to face the void in their heart. Hence their unstoppable, narrow-minded craving for more money.
Did Carney’s caving on the Digital Services Tax achieve anything? Or did it, as many predicted, just tell Trump that Canada is weak and can be pushed around?
This seems short-sighted. You want to hire enough people and give them what they need to grow their skills as they work. Invest in your employees a bit. Then you get the quality without the burnout and mental crises, plus you get a company that feels good to work for.
Stebbings, founder of 20VC, a firm managing $650 million in funds, advised founders on LinkedIn last month that “7 days a week is the required velocity to win right now,” to compete with startups in Silicon Valley and China.
Just from that sentence you can tell the guy leads an impoverished life in ways that won’t be fixed by money. But he’s going to spend his life chasing money because he can’t imagine what else to do with it.
They’re not anti-pedophile, or they’d be going after a number of prominent Republicans. They live in a fantasy world where Republicans can do no wrong and everyone else does all and only wrong. The pedophile fantasy is part of that, not an attempt to address real-world child abuse.
That’s the “deep state” according to MAGA, because they don’t have the first clue how actual government works.
I know it’s an awful headline. I’d still be interested in what people think of the content, because there’s something legit in there it seems, but this article (which is published on a number of websites and may be a fairly unedited press release) doesn’t explain much. The headline writers seem to see the word “battery” and run with that, even though it’s misleading.
Trump seems to use the same tactic.
He’s only saying it so we subconsciously associate the words “Ted Cruz” and “human”.
I tried to dictate some documents recently without paying the big bucks for specialized software, and was surprised just how bad Google and Microsoft’s speech recognition still is. Then I tried getting Word to transcribe some audio talks I had recorded, and that resulted in unreadable stuff with punctuation in all the wrong places. You could just about make out what it meant to say, so I tried asking various LLMs to tidy it up. That resulted in readable stuff that was largely made up and wrong, which also left out large chunks of the source material. In the end I just had to transcribe it all by hand.
It surprised me that these AI-ish products are still unable to transcribe speech coherently or tidy up a messy document without changing the meaning.
“Gartner estimates only about 130 of the thousands of agentic AI vendors are real.”
This whole industry is so full of hype and scams, the bubble surely has to burst at some point soon.
You again? Last time I came across you, you were being racist too. Your username is racist. Is racism just a hobby or a full-time job for you?
They’re calling these people terrorists for holding signs calling for the end of Israel’s genocide. They’re not calling the people who have been committing genocide every day terrorists. They’re valuable allies. This is the UK Government’s morality. I hope it’s not shared by the British people.
2,000 INMATES GLOOMY
I didn’t realize how long the NYT had been like this.
What’s with the suggestion that they’re injuring people at all? Has it happened?
It looks like it would split the Democratic vote too. Which suggests a lot of Democratic voters (like pretty much all Republican voters) don’t have the first clue what’s going on.
Do they realize that without health science there will be no staying alive?
Well yes. I didn’t bring that in but individualism is the propaganda of capitalism, designed to set workers against each other while keeping them preoccupied with “expressing themselves” through consumption. Dress this up as rugged individualism, tell them it’s weakness to need or accept help, add a dash of the American Dream (as you mention), and you get a proudly compliant population who will aggressively resist all attempts to self-organize in their shared interests or redistribute wealth. That’s been the USA at least since Reagan, and probably for most of its history.
Learning the killing doesn’t have to happen is the entire point of socialization, and we just don’t teach that to humans anymore.
We don’t teach it to Americans any more. Some places still understand what society and social responsibility are. But Americans have been subjected to the propaganda of toxic individualism for too long.
Even then they hate you, but they’ll kiss your ass.
