  • You weren’t kidding.

    Digg’s new leaders say they want to use artificial intelligence to “handle the grunt work” of running a social media site while allowing humans to focus on building meaningful online communities.

    I know they are talking about moderation. But it’s hard to see them not pushing AI out into other areas of their ecosystem. Especially when they will be struggling for users from the start, and thus they will struggle for content.







  • I’m almost certain it will be gone completely within 5 years at this rate. If we’re lucky we might get a one time “I’ll give you n thousand dollars to fuck off” payment from the government. If we’re lucky.

    I’ve been telling other Xers and Millennials this for the last several years. It’s still surprising to me how many of them still assume Social Security will be there to some significant degree when they retire. This is more of an Xers assumption, but also some Millennials still think this.






  • Newsom has always been a shallow chameleon populist who’s main goal was to accumulate more power and influence.

    Now that he’s achieved his aim of two terms as governor of California, he’s set his sights on the next level up: the Presidency. But he knows to stand even a chance of becoming the Dem nominee that he needs to move to the right quite a lot so he can be even considered by the more conservative rural Midwest. Turning against trans rights is low hanging fruit when it comes to that.

    The stupid thing is that regardless, most independents and even moderate conservatives will never accept him. His legacy as the firebrand liberal from San Francisco is forever on him.

    But still he’s trying, because he’s self-centered and callous. And in the process of failing in this new goal he’s revealed to anyone not already aware that he’s a fraud. And he’s hurting lots of incident people in the process.
