    “Disruptive technology” has always been a funny term, but it’s especially hilarious applied to LLMs because they are currently destroying way more value than they’re creating. Like describing a gunshot victim as someone “suffering from technology-related disruption to their lungs”

    Interesting that they don’t mention tariffs.

    You can kinda assume from “softened” consumer spending but there’s been a bunch of comments on how companies haven’t (yet) passed on the full cost of tariffs and it’s hard to imagine that doesn’t result in job losses.

      Tariffs after WWI and all the isolationism is one of the major causes of the Great Depression as well lol

    before the Great Depression (1929-1939), the Long Depression (1873-1899) was called the Great Depression

    stand by to find out what we rename the previous Great Depression when the new Great Depression hits

Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember… we’re all comrades here.

Rules:

– PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE –

Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body.

If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include not just the twitter.com URL but also Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source (archive.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed.

Mass-tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken Markov chain bot will result in a comm ban.

Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.

Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned.

Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like ‘Raid: Shadow Legends’ in order to be rehabilitated back into general society.
