  • For sure there are plenty of people that don’t produce any real value in their work, but that’s been the case since forever and they’re hard to weed out because in some ways their full time job is to ensure their ongoing employment.

    As in most things, it’s a question of extent.

    The most accurate statement you can make is that AI will make “most” office employees “more” efficient.

    The thing is, this has been happening with every technological advance for hundreds of years.





  • Yeah.

    Organic produce is often inferior, which kinda stands to reason because all the tOxIc ChEmIcALs are added to improve the product.

    I mean, it’s obvious that adding fertilizer (phosphate) is going to produce bigger plumper tastier fruit and vegetables?

    I buy organic cauliflower not because I prefer organic but because it’s all my local green grocer sells. It always has these little green caterpillars. I don’t let that bother me but I have noticed that it doesn’t seem to keep quite as long. Whether that’s because the caterpillars munching bits of it makes it deteriorate quicker, or it takes longer to get from the farm to me, or it’s a different variety, I really don’t know. It’s def not objectively as good as the non-organic version.

    As an aside, Bananas (like most fruit and veg) has been heavily domesticated by humans and the original from the pleistocene was pretty awful from the sounds of it with much less edible flesh and much bigger and harder seeds.






  • She sounds like a conservative shit stain herself:

    The author, who has been an outspoken supporter of conservative ideologies, is best known for her children’s book with BRAVE Books, titled Elephants Are Not Birds.

    “Follow Kevin as he learns that even though he can sing, he is not a bird, even if Culture insists that he is,” according to the book’s synopsis. Additionally, the BRAVE Books site said that they “partner with people of moral integrity, to teach complex Christian and Conservative values.”

    Doesn’t sound like much of an author honestly. A kid is either too young to understand that Kevin is a metaphor for a transgender person, or they’re old enough to just be told that mum and dad don’t like transgender people.
