this year so far has seen the highest number of large (1000+ workers) strikes called since 2005 it hasn't moved the needle really on interrupted work hours though. The last time there was any significant work stoppage to interrupt production was...well what do you know. may-october, 2000 SAG strike about cable TV residuals. Interesting conditions are brewing.

FlapYoJacks posted:Biden will bring in the national guard to replace the flight attendants. The Guard will strike within a week of taking over for FA's jobs. "gently caress this poo poo," says Paul, a lieutenant from Alabama. "Travelers are being dumped on us by the hundreds, asking about suitcases and refunds and wheelchairs...and the airline management won't answer our calls, won't clarify policy, can't even keep their planes in the goddamn air. We quit! Cash us on the picket line!"

Nothus posted:model collapse, baby its probably not model collapse in this case, because it happened too quickly. my guess is they needed to show off chatgpt as "useful" but to make it perform even half-decent it needs an ungodly amount of resources which they couldnt afford, so they made some simplifications to how it runs for performance reasons which made it suck.

Either way, that and Emad saying it's a bubble... that's the 'more content then you can really deal with' I mentioned some time ago, yes, considering it's the thing buoying our economy.

Willa Rogers posted:Here's the non-paywalled copy. This is the only quote I found interesting: Homogamy—marriage within the same socioeconomic class—has soared to levels not seen since the pre−World War I Edwardian era. If this is true, and based on parent's wealth (because there's no way it can be based on spousal earnings when women weren't in the out of the house workforce), I wonder what's making this happen. Social media/dating apps is too easy of an answer, but I'm grimly wondering if we're actually in the Gattaca world where every partner is looking each other up online.

If you live in a gated suburb and one of your neighbors falls on hard times you don't hear about it, they just get evicted / sell and move away and cease to exist for all practical purposes.

MickeyFinn posted:I read an article about how payments to truckers have collapsed and it is driving people out of the industry. Some company stooge referred to load payment minus fuel costs as “profit” collected by independent drivers. Not a word about eating or sleeping on the road, or even maintenance. It's so unfair these drivers aren't working completely for free and for the love of the game. Car Hater posted:They stopped paying my stepdad's insurance two months ago and didn't tell him. Mom was supposed to get a mammogram next week but oops, "Did you know your insurance is no longer active?" But wasn't that outside of the enrollment period (EP) and without a qualifying life event (QLE)?  You can't change your insurance more than once a year but they can cancel it on a whim and just let you find out. skooma512 has issued a correction as of 18:42 on Jul 19, 2023 |

I know people who love ChatGPT because it can write all those work emails where form is everything and substance is nothing. Armies of do-nothing middle managers whose time has been freed to do even less. I can’t help but think about my stint in Eve when AFK griefers were killing AFK ratters, but it is half the economy.

Shear Modulus posted:i haven't used reddit once since apollo stopped working lol i wonder how apocalyptic their user numbers are They recently told everyone that all of the coins they paid for to give out awards (incredibly dippy but popular with their core dippy userbase) would be sunsetting in a month with no compensation, presumably to alienate 100% of the power users who actually gave them money. They have no loving idea what they are doing and are essentially attempting a crash landing with both engines on fire.
