They did the one thing they were trained to do – Pull first ask questions for fire extinguishers later

why do we teach everyone to only pull your gun if you’re going to kill someone unless you’re a police – then just pull it any time you’re worried or confused!

The people with all the money don’t care about anything like this. They don’t even care about stewardship/long term value building except maybe the Dupont’s and old moneyers. Why wait around trying to make or build something when I can just ride the hype train and make sure I get off and onto the next one before the house of cards falls down?

TSLA’s market cap is 618 billion dollars

GM’s is 45 billion dollars

Shell Oil’s market cap is 200 billion dollars

I’ve decided that’s what’s wrong with everything at the core – the only virtue is money and it doesn’t matter how you get it. Spez or anyone else could be doing way worse and everyone would shrug.

I think shame from society was the regulator in the past, but we are in gilded age II so money supersedes morals.

There’s no awards show for most humble (ha), most improved, most selfless, most mentor, etc.

Reminds me of – Societies grow great when men plant trees in whose shade they will never sit.

Is shame and legacy not related? Carnegie’s Gospel of Wealth suggests they are.

And on emperors, we thankfully don’t have that in most of the world anymore. I think the question is, ‘what keeps the aristocracy in check’ which you’re right is partially pitchforks, but there used to be decorum and decency, even if it was pretend for a long time in things like politics and the media.

There’s a reason the stockades are cruel and unusual punishment – We are pressed maybe the most by our peers.

I smoked cigarettes for a long time and wanted to quit but never really could even try. When I moved somewhere where people my age thought it was gross and no one would go smoke with me, it was so incredibly easy – for example.

If the upper class looked down on each other even a little bit for gutting the poor or the environment or mocking the republic, things would be different I think.

If you look at efficacy though on academic tests or asking it some fact question and you compare that to asking a random person instead of always getting the ‘right’ answer, which we expect computers/calculators to do, would LLMs be comparable or better? Surely someone has some data on that.

E: It looks like in certain domains at least LLMs beat out human counterparts. stanfordmimi.github.io/clin-summ/

The waiter isn’t patronizing the establishment in either sense of the word…

lanolinoil ,
@lanolinoil@lemmy.world avatar

It’s worse than you think – In most US States, you can pay people way under the minimum wage as long as their tips make up for it. So an average waiter might make 2 bucks and hour on paper. If they didn’t get enough tips to reach minimum wage, the restaurant would have to pay them out on top of that, but it’s just this fucked up cultural thing to give restaurant owners free labor that the customers pay for.

The “Fuck your server” At the end implies the preceding statement is about the server and it’s a bit jarring to read if it’s not.

Fuck your server, “Fuck your server”, or Fuck your server /s would have been more clear.

While the sarcasm is clear in your head when you write it, it’s often lost if you don’t denote it in some way. That’s why /s became a thing.

They do that if you go work in young industries. I think once the pie has been divided up and sold between rich guys 2000 times and there’s no more hyper growth, there’s no more pie to give out. So you have to move to models like bcorps, like a King Arthur Flour, or be evil.

Wait – is it capitalism is inherently inequal and unsustainable, or ol’ Racist Ronnie did this? Is it both and he accelerated us?

lanolinoil ,

I tend to agree – Greed and money becoming the only virtue… Doesn’t even matter how you get it anymore even a little bit.

We don’t have any other examples though. Maybe alien life all gets to physical dimension 5 by year 200 or something. Time being relative and all makes that somewhat feasible.

They’re the good times because you see you had no responsibilities and endless potential to be so many things, which becomes less and less true as you age. Of course, it’s miserable too not knowing what you are/what to do and feeling lost because you have no responsibilities, so it’s really just a grass is greener thing I imagine.

I see they have that little Egypt strip there … I do take your point and it’s a good one but I still struggle with the Germany france comparison. Maybe like luxembourg and Germany or France… or Avignon with the double pope – How about that?

Or the Basques would be good if they ever had their own real country

Most of their current problems would be solved but surely they’d make up or create new ones. Otherwise, we’d have just quit after farming probably.

I think this assumes there is some universal scale for suffering though – Like, if you aren’t physically tortured (or whatever you think worse suffering than you’ve had would be) does that mean you suffer internally less than those that have?

I feel it’s more some internal scale created on your experiences. I wonder if there’s any studies on people suffering objectively vs subjectively.
