... and again no evidence of these biweekly protests that are totally happening

Yes but that is the case as MS is shoving Copilot down everyone's throat, the question is whether they are making money with Copilot or not and the answer to that would be "no" since the moment MS wants a single extra $1 for Copilot, clients say no

Buddy, you claimed, with no source, that there are protests twice a month. I am giving you the benefit of the doubt but would like some evidence of your claim

[–] Jhex@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (3 children)

Actually no... a few months ago, it was deduced from MS public reporting that something like less than 1% of their customers are actually paying for Copilot (there is a free version they are pushing on everyone)

And even those paying are still not covering the cost of running AI for MS... so far, MS has done nothing but lose money on Copilot... they are only making money on stocks because of the hype and some money on forcing people to buy new hardware

The problem in the US isn’t apathy. ICE doesn’t seem apathetic. The military doesn’t seem apathetic. Silicon Valley doesn’t seem apathetic. Wall Street doesn’t seem apathetic. The billionaire class is engaged and has financed an enormous army of brownshirts to flatten dissent.

Yes, those are acting... the apathetic ones are the US Voters as OP pointed out

Meanwhile, people are fighting and dying on the streets. Parades of people march in opposition. Blossoming networks of activists inform on and undermine the state. Lone wolves even take pot shots at the President.

There have been 2 large marches... on weekends. For the first one, the rapist king literally send a video shitting on the protesters, that should have made it clear a weekend protest would mean nothing.

Yes, some Minnesotans did rally harder, not on weekends, and weakened ICE stance... maybe the rest of the country should learn from them and not wait until it's literally life or death as Minnesotans did

Even if the people of the USA who claim to hate this regime bothered to do a free act en mass, like closing your Meta and Xitter accounts, it would be noticeable... alas, nothing of significance can be done and all we (the rest of the world) get from Americans is some victim complex cry

Came here to say this

As long as they are clearly marked as AI-generated

As clearly labeled as all the food products are?

They will not label them properly because that won't sell; if they happen to be labeling now, they will stop in the future. This is the entire "vote with your wallet" strategy they know they have control over since they will obfuscate all the valuable information we need to make informed decisions.

So you’re saying AI is not replacing jobs at all?

Honestly, there is little evidence that it actually has (successfully).

Of course, anything at a world wide scale will be true at some percentage; however, I doubt AI has actually replaced the labour of many. Even Meta gave up on pretending this and they are now firing people just to free money to pour on AI, not because AI is actually replacing those people

 

The Trump administration has forced a Canadian-backed renewable energy company to abandon its landmark wind power project — and is demanding an equivalent investment in US fossil fuel development if the company wants to recoup $120 million USD in offshore wind leases.

Hi Lemmy,

I want to do a project that involves concrete. Basically I am making steps, giving them texture and stamping them so it looks somewhat like stones.

I have watched a million videos and I feel I can tackle this, plus I have a lot of areas to practice that won't be too visible so if the steps look a bit amateur it's fine.

My biggest question is about the effort of mixing concrete. I have a corded drill with a mixing paddle and most steps won't require much. However a few are larger and I would have to mix 10 bags or so. The drying time allows me to work one at a time and then do my stamping but I was wondering if this is feasible from an effort perspective.

I am an experienced DIYer but have not worked much with concrete, I made a coffee table, post bases, etc but never something that requires so many bags... am I setting myself up for failure / a broken back? hehehe

 

"Unexpectedly"... who would have thought that taking a chainsaw to all establish trade could be an issue?!
