My company cut funding for traditional projects and has prioritized funding for AI projects. So now anything that involves any form of automation is “AI”.

jballs@sh.itjust.worksto politics @lemmy.world•Trump faces a revolt from his MAGA base over the Epstein filesEnglish58·3 days agoDo they not realize Epstein was killed when Trump was president the first time?
jballs@sh.itjust.worksto politics @lemmy.world•We could assassinate Trump sunbathing, Iranian official claimsEnglish34·5 days agoYeah I don’t know why they think Trump would ever sunbathe. His orange hue doesn’t come naturally.
jballs@sh.itjust.worksto politics @lemmy.world•James Gunn, Nathan Fillion and more on MAGA outrage over director saying Superman is an immigrant: ‘I don’t have anything to say to anybody’ spreading hateEnglish4·7 days agoNetwork anchor Kellyanne Conway said of the film, “We don’t go to the movie theater to be lectured to and to have somebody throw their ideology onto us.” Jesse Watters added, “You know what it says on his cape? MS13.”
MAGA is so fucked up it’s impossible to tell if they’re serious or not.

jballs@sh.itjust.worksto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Just finished listening to the audiobook of The Martain and got me to thinking.English7·8 days agoI watched the whole movie thinking it was about COVID. Afterwards, my wife mentioned it was about climate change. I suppose the reality is, we’re just awful at responding to any large threat.
jballs@sh.itjust.worksto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Just finished listening to the audiobook of The Martain and got me to thinking.English6·4 days agoIt’s definitely a tragedy. It has some humor to it, mostly things like poking fun at people who claim that the planet killing asteroid is going to boost the economy.
I think it’s worth a watch.
jballs@sh.itjust.worksto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Just finished listening to the audiobook of The Martain and got me to thinking.English44·9 days agoI feel like if the Project Hail Mary crisis happened today, the response would be more like what happened in Don’t Look Up.
jballs@sh.itjust.worksto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Having the ability to lie and manipulate with no remorse will get you much further in this world than having morals and being correctEnglish15·11 days agoMostly because people aspire to be billionaires. Society would be much better off if people aspired to be hurricanes.
jballs@sh.itjust.worksto Technology@lemmy.world•Tesla's European car sales nosedive for fifth month as customers switch to Chinese EVsEnglish55·20 days agoWhich kind of blows my mind. Coal miners should love EVs. There was a story in the news a few years ago about how nice it was for the miners to help someone in an EV, as if they should be mortal enemies.
Non-EV cars don’t run on coal, they run on gasoline. EVs on the other hand can run on coal, natural gas, solar, wind, you name it - and still are more energy efficient than cars burning gasoline. In a sane world, coal miners would be throwing their support behind electric vehicles. The utility companies seem to understand this, but seems like the support hasn’t made its way up the supply chain.
jballs@sh.itjust.worksto politics @lemmy.world•Trump Completely Loses It on ‘Stupid AOC’ Over Call for His Impeachment in Wild, Marathon RantEnglish18·21 days agoHere are some sample questions
- Recall five unrelated words, such as: “rose, chair, hand, blue, spoon.” (You will be asked to repeat them immediately after the test-taker gives them to you, and then again later, toward the end of the test.)
- Count backwards from 100 by seven. You also may be asked to calculate using currency, such as determining what change you might expect from your $20 bill if you were charged $13.55.
- How many words can you name in one minute that start with F? (Or you might be asked to name words that fit a category, like fruits.)
- Identify animals from pictures (such as a zebra or tiger).
- To test your visual perception, you may be asked to identify objects drawn within a jumble of other objects. Or, you may be asked to draw a picture (such as a cube) based on a drawing shown on the test form.
- The “clock test”—common in many dementia exams—is part of the MoCA dementia test. The test administrator will ask you to draw the face of a traditional (non-digital) clock, as well as to illustrate a specific time.
- Your ability to think abstractly may be tested by asking you to determine the relationships between objects—for instance, how trains and boats are similar to each other
So yeah… we have a president who is bragging about being able to draw a clock and tell you that trains and boats are both methods of transporting people. JFC we are so fucked.
Murphy’s Cat is my favorite
Huh weird. I’ve got an account on .world and if I use that with Sync, posts don’t show get marked as read for me. Wonder what I’m doing wrong.
jballs@sh.itjust.worksto politics @lemmy.world•Trump orders ICE vengeance on ‘No Kings’ protest citiesEnglish7·29 days agoPlus, Trump tweets in all caps. Not because he’s angry all the time, but because he’s old and that’s the only way he can read the characters as he types them.
jballs@sh.itjust.worksto politics @lemmy.world•'Grounds for expulsion': GOP senator accused of 'mocking' the murder of two DemsEnglish3·29 days agoExactly. It’s just an insult to them.
A while back, one of my Trumper neighbors decided that she didn’t use an elliptical work-out machine that she had bought over 2 years prior. She took it back to the store without a receipt and demanded that they give her money for it - not just store credit - even though it was well past the return date.
When telling me this story, she acknowledged her crazy behavior by saying “haha I was acting like such a liberal.”
In her mind, it’s as simple as “liberal = bad”. The actual definitions of words mean nothing to them.
jballs@sh.itjust.worksto politics @lemmy.world•Protester shot and killed at 'No Kings' rally in Utah, police sayEnglish4·29 days agoI’d like to see the video as well. If anyone has a link, would appreciate it.
jballs@sh.itjust.worksto politics @lemmy.world•Trump coveted a military spectacle but his parade proved underwhelming: ‘Just kind of lame’English2·29 days agoI’m so confused. Are they actually bragging about those things?
jballs@sh.itjust.worksto politics @lemmy.world•Trump coveted a military spectacle but his parade proved underwhelming: ‘Just kind of lame’English59·30 days agoA tent managed by a beverage company handed out room-temperature bottles of an energy drink, Phorm. The flavor, called Screamin’ Freedom, tasted like hard candies dissolved in water, and an advisory on the cans warned that they were not to be consumed by minors or pregnant women.
If we saw this in a movie, we would laugh at how overly top unreal it was.
I did this a few days ago in accident only to basically pass the person in front of me and then sit in heavy traffic for the next 5 minutes.
I could feel their eyes burning into the back of my head, with them thinking “way to go, asshole, you saved yourself exactly 2 seconds by going around me.”
Cars need an “I’m sorry” emote somehow.
