It can be both. It depends a lot on what kind product is being supported. Tech support usually doesn’t get abuse hurled at you by the callers but financial/medical it gets a lot dicier. That said, I 100% left every call center job I ha

I think ascribing humanity to to something that isn’t human is far more dehumanizing to actual real life humans than the alternative. You are taking away actual people’s humanity if you’re giving it to anything we call AI. I am capable of d

AI isn’t “from a different culture”. It doesn’t have culture. Any culture it does have is what it has sucked up from its training data and set in its weights. There is no need to be “humane” to AI because it possess no humanity. It has no p

I literally asked you what worse off means so that I can specifically respond to the claim you made, but okay. Have a nice day.

I agree by the way that a one line comment of “show your work” is not useful or constructive, much like your original one line comment. (I don’t mean that as a slam against you either, I appreciate that you actually followed up with additio

Well you can’t prove a negative so I’m not sure how useful a theoretical one line comment about a CEO saying his insurances means we need M4A would be received. Regardless if you’re not willing to support your argument that’s fine, but at t

Sorry but I reject this thinking. You’re essentially saying that Medicare for all is bad because it’ll seem to cost more because the way the money works isn’t obscured so people will be mad and that it has to be worse than their existing po

You’re right. The No Surprises Act did make this a lot better. However it still doesn’t cover ground transport (and specific state laws do in some cases.) Additionally for post-stabilization care the hospital is going to shove a lot of pape

While I might not have been happier income-wise when I was on Medicaid vs now, I was much happier with my medicaid insurance than I have ever been with any private insurance. I could see basically any provider and didn’t have to deal with a

Based on what? Why even leave this comment if you’re just going to say “would likely be worse off” without giving literally any evidence or even suggestion of why. Insurance is a pool. The bigger your pool the more you spread the risk/

Who exactly is the target audience? Browser not exactly a hot bed of competition. Am I in the market for an AI browser? No. But is anyone? Those features are already being pushed in the browsers people actually use.

Sure it’s hard to turn a ship around in 2 years but the situation got worse, not better. Also bailing out a foreign government for failed libertarian policies is incredibly ironic and also not America First.

Good grief. Developers who use Unity/Unreal/Game Maker/ whatever don’t announce their game as being a revolutionary new tech. The problem isn’t that they made yet another chromium based browser with their garbage on top. The

I work for a small ISP servicing both fiber customers and a diminishing (Thanks, starlink) number of fixed wireless customers. We use all Mikrotik hardware for routing. RouterOS is so flexible and capable. But it is absolutely not user frie

How long do you think Tesla is going to be worth their funny money market cap?

Not only are they not really hurt that much by the loss of the tax credit, they’ve already pulled back from their EV ambitions in many ways. That’ll be even easier for them now if they don’t have to spend money on offsets as well. It is a b

To be fair 99 Bananas still tastes like ass with a hint of incredible artificial banana. Also the cultural aspect is just different. It is generally harder for kids to get alcohol in my experience and also you (usually) don’t carry a bottle

These aren't unique to Tesla, though a lot of manufacturers want you to pay to have a lot of that stuff in their app, which is fucked. I also want less touch controls and less entirely featureless controls. My car is a 2012 Mini Count

It is ironic that a lot of the gun control laws conservatives rail about in California are a direct result of Reagan’s time as governor with the intent largely to suppress and allow enforcement against black people having guns.

If only. So much of the constant churn in big corporations is killing units that are profitable but just aren’t profitable enough .

So the person who says their Dyson works great is a liar but also their opinion is invalid because it is expensive. Your Land Rover is good because it’s expensive but you like it. Reading several of your comments on this thread are a real w

Who defines what counts as a riot? The people who have the state-sanctioned monopoly on violence are the ones who get to decide when a protest becomes a riot or unlawful assembly. I’m not saying they’re always wrong but when only one grou

I couldn’t possibly disagree more. I’ve always worked with end users and I can say with confidence that the majority of people wouldn’t change it or more accurately wouldn’t feel like putting in the effort/dealing with the hassle of ch

Migraines are the absolute worst. On average I would get 6-8 a year. My triggers are primarily not eating frequently enough, bright lights and constant loud sounds. Knowing that, I mostly am able to avoid them and I can usually tell early e

I 100% agree the issue is more on the capital side. There probably shouldn’t be people who have more money than God who can afford to thrown hundreds of million dollar darts at a wall and see what sticks. But I still think the downstream ef

You say that but I don’t think it’s entirely fair. The tech industry is often living in an entirely different world. Hearing SWEs in places like SF and Seattle who are personally bothered and upset because homeless people have the gall to e

The GP isn't making a statement about how voters feel disillusioned in the electoral process in general. They are making a statement about how one of the two political parties has spent 4 years telling their supporters that the 2020 el

It’s kind of funny and reminiscent of the AMD bulldozer days where they had a ton of cores compared to the contemporary Intel chips, especially at low/mid price points but the AMD chips were laughably underwhelming for single core perf

I use it mostly while driving to request specific songs. It is insane that in multiple cases, it has shown the song I asked for on the lock screen, changing from the previous track so I know it understood what I asked it for, and then pla
