Waiter! Waiter! I’ll have my billionaire with a side of politician, please!

Had to double-check the headline to make sure I didn’t have a brain aneurysm

If these people heard about ancient Greek/Roman culture they would have a stroke

Once an executive, always an executive. Leech your way to the top until you can be as slimy as you want.

This post is like a litmus test for separating pretentious reddit atheists from people who can actually take a joke, bravo

This is basically you right now

“You whippersnappers don’t know how good you have it!” isn’t really a good point. I bet there were people just like you right around the dawn of agriculture, and they would have gotten just as many groans.

I wouldn’t say it’s exactly fair to judge a silly comic made for laughs in a way that insinuates it’s misinforming people. Not to mention this was made well over 40 years ago

Do you faint whenever you hear about the existence of meat-eating animals?

This is completely removed from natural selection. We didn’t evolve vaccination, we invented it. Another measles outbreak is just more needlessly sick people.

Usually it’s just people commuting to and from work. A large portion of workers in the GTA (Greater Toronto Area) work in Toronto proper, and since Toronto, like essentially every North American urban centre, is so obnoxiously car-dependent they all have to drive in from every direction. It’s like if a five year-old made a town in SimCity.

It’s a fascinating case study of hubris how they think having those bunkers will actually do them any good. Even if it all goes to plan and nobody retaliates (they will) what do they plan to do when it’s time for them to stay in there? Just slowly rot and lose their minds even further than they already have? They really are viruses, just mindlessly mutating over and over until they’re too lethal for the host to sustain them.

Kind of besides the point, it’s still good that the figurehead of the world’s largest religion is calling this stuff out. I’m not endorsing religion but it sets a good precedent at least.

I don’t think they can afford to

These people literally have fuck you money, they can afford a fuck-up like the AI bubble popping tens of times over if not endlessly with their countless legal loopholes. Their attitudes are based purely on having never faced repercussions for their societal parasitism and an insatiable desire for “more”.

Meta in court (for the 900th time): Your honour, what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger

They’re saying that a lot of Copilot functionality comes bundled in with Microsoft 365 plans, which a big portion of organizations pay for. That’s opposed to paying for Microsoft subscriptions dedicated specifically to Copilot, that being what your source is describing.

To be fair Poe’s law is a pretty common problem in internet communication. Obviously ambiguity of intent is pretty easily avoided with good writing but it’s also convenient for a lot of people to be able to dodge that with a few relatively standardized characters. Although I can agree in the sense that it often feels like a lazy fix for otherwise bad jokes or dialogue, too often I see something in the vein of “WE NEED TO BLOW UP ORPHANAGES!!! /j” and because there’s a tone indicator in there it somehow manages to write off the lack of actual quality.
