AI is great. But it seems like those that wield its power only do so to create massive unemployment and benefits to the top 1%.

New comment by jazz9k in "Women are getting most of the new jobs. What's going on with men?"

jazz9k — Fri, 10 Apr 2026 23:06:50 +0000

Women have 80% of the jobs in healthcare.

Why no movements to correct this? Does fixing sexism only benefit one group of people?

"antinuclear activists and human rights groups to shield their files and emails from government surveillance"

You mean the people responsible for not allowing us to embrace Nuclear 30 years before we should have?

Regulation is too late. It will only allow countries like China, to completely dominate, because they have no regulations.

Why does Japan need immigrants? Japan is one of the safest countries in the world because of its immigration policies.

"Republicans organization were caught in a group chat laughing about their love for Hitler."

Anyone that read these messages can clearly see it was sarcastic and/or a joke. Reporters either can't detect sarcasm (which is possible, because the amount of autism in the community) or are intentionally ignoring it to hurt their political enemies.

"Vice President J. D. Vance shrugged off that controversy, instead of condemning the growing influence of anti-Semites in his party. (In December, at Turning Point USA’s conference, Vance said, “I didn’t bring a list of conservatives to denounce or to deplatform.”)"

Real anti-semitism is rampant on the left. You see it with every anti-Israel protest. Why isn't this mentioned once in the article? Saying something terrible is much different than actually doing it.

We've been seeing violence on the left since 2008, during occupy wallstreet. Mainstream news doesn't cover it and Democrats won't condemn it. Why don't we start here.

Who wouldn't want to rack up a bunch of debt and just not pay when the bill came due?

This does sound great, but the cost of tokens will prevent most companies from using agents to secure their code.

I love markdown for technical reporting when the alternative was a hacked together Word document.

Every politician makes money this way. The mainstream news chooses to report only on specific ones.

New comment by jazz9k in "Amazon is adding a fuel surcharge to fees it collects from third-party sellers"

jazz9k — Thu, 02 Apr 2026 22:14:44 +0000

I made a living selling on Amazon about 15 years ago. It all came crashing down when they held all of my money (around $50,000) and had to 'investigate'.

Nothing ever came of it and they released my money, but banned my seller account for 10 years.

It was actually a good thing. I started my own site and made a good living for a decade. Covid shutdown the business.

Building a business on Amazon is a mistake.

I see token burn as the limiting factor with AI.

Another danger I see is job loss. Who wants a world where the wealthy control AI and completely destroy the middle class.

When you have no pesky laws and regulations, of course you can develop things faster.

Move fast and break things, but with human life and the government.

"The drive to achieve that level of success often comes from weaponized poor self esteem."

This sounds like all of the cope I continue to hear about successful people. Very successful people MUST have something wrong with them...

The token cost will be a limiting factor.

jazz9k — Sun, 29 Mar 2026 18:16:24 +0000

I agree. I've been using the quest to regularly work out for the last 4 years.

It's the only app I use. I think my issue is that VR is very much a solo experience.

It's hard for me to have the free time and room to play with my kids and family. I would rather play 2d games with the kids.

Some contestants propose ridiculous deals to get free PR as well.
