      How long until we get articles titled something like “I work at Apple. I have access to Claude Mythos. Here’s what they’re not telling you.”

      DTers: if I love Veep to death, would I even like watching The West Wing? I’m afraid that TWW would be overly aspirational and saccharine for my taste.

      > It May Not Be Good for America, but It’s Damn Good for CBS

      CEOs will be like “It May Not Be Good for America, but It’s Damn Good for CBS” and then go not have it be damn good for CBS

      The reason South Park works as a satire and The Boys doesn’t is because Trey Parker and Matt Stone have no grand arc to make you feel sympathetic for Stan and Kyle, they are either victims of the world, caricatures to make jokes, or selfish to cause the plots. Eric Kripke is trying to make a franchise with characters whom you care about, plot lines, and has to have some semblance of in-universe consistency.

      Watching Roommates with Adam Sandler’s daughter and it’s not good but Janeane Garofalo is in it and I haven’t seen her in years…I used to have the biggest crush on her when I was younger.

      There was a lot of anxiety on this sub about the impact of AI on labour, so I want to introduce this sub to this review by Carbonara and Santarelli from last year demonstrating that the evidence of AI’s impact on labour markets is limited so far

      One of the key insights of the review is the distinction it draws between the automation of tasks and the automation of jobs. Automating certain tasks within the description of an occupation is likely to significantly increase productivity, but will not result in the elimination of a job. In this scenario, AI will complement human labour by displacing certain low-productivity tasks (substitution effects), while creating a demand for higher-productivity tasks (reinstatement effects).

      Of course I am not trying to pretend that I am clairvoyant, I think it’s going to be very difficult to predict the trajectory of AI since it promises to be such a transformative technology, but I am skeptical it will lead to mass unemployment. Also the pace of change seems to be very fast in AI, so this review is probably already outdated

      Now I want to point out that I am a chemist, not an economist. I just needed to find some review articles on the impact of AI on labour so far for my thesis and this was the first one I found

      They’re saying she’s a 7 foot tall muscle mommy who bathes in milk, honey, and twink tears.

      A homeless person just jogged past me singing

      “It really ain’t love til she eats your ass”

      Right now there’s someone in an operations center somewhere looking at the train I’m on thinking “these people have no idea how much effort goes into keeping things working like normal”. Or there’s someone doing that for my water, sewage, the website I’m using, the security of the city, the roads, or countless things I haven’t thought of. Regardless, person, I am thinking of you right now. Thank you

      I’m probably gonna die alone. I lack the ability/willpower to overcome any of my deep-seated internal issues.
