I need you to care about Jews more than you say you (supposedly) want to punch Nazis.

I need you to care about Jews more than you say it, not more than you mean it, because at this point, I don't even believe you mean that you want to punch Nazis.

i saw a man at work the other day wearing a shirt that said "i was normal 2 pomeranians ago" with pictures of his pomeranians on it. important to note he had his pomeranians in his cart

artists rendition (i forgot to add the poms on his shirt but you get the gist)

Every time someone makes an artist's rendition of a weird little guy they saw in public instead of recording them without consent, an angel gets it's wings.

hello everyone i saw another old man with custom dog merch today at the grocery store. new artists rendition dropped

'Why does every nonbinary person want top surgery' I dunno maybe because having visible breasts immediately makes everyone assume you're female and only female, and therefore put you into a binary. Also why are you assuming every nonbinary person has breasts.

catilinussy

I think people who believe that should also put some thought into whether every nonbinary person with breasts actually wants top surgery, or whether they've just decided that the nonbinary people with breasts who want to keep them don't "count" as nonbinary.

#i know plenty of nonbinary people who want breasts or like their breasts#but they're viewed as either transtrenders or trans women in denial <- prev tags

"i don't care if they make their whole way though uni with chatgpt" i think you guys are so internetpilled that you have forgotten there are actual jobs out there that require people to know what they are doing in any way possible or else people die

i know a lot of people study just to get paid well but girl this is engineering be for fucking real take this seriously

114 people died in the Hyatt Regency collapse, and in the US it's the third largest structural collapse fatality count, behind 9/11 and the Pemberton Mill collapse in 1860.

I've learned about this tragedy in my physics classes, to demonstrate tensile strength, and as a reminder about the importance of calculations being done right. I've also learned about it in my legal classes as an example of construction defect lawsuits. I've seen it referenced in disaster response classes.

Between AI and the current Presidential administration, we're barrelling right back towards this nightmare.

There are multiple errors that resulted in this collapse, but these stand out to me:

1. Kansas City was facing high unemployment and needed to attract jobs and business into the city. So the planning and inspection departments may have looked too closely at the designs.

2. An engineering firm too lazy to double check their designs or design changes by the manufacturer before approving them. The error that resulted in the collapse was one that the owner of the engineering firm said that a "first year engineering student" would spot.

3. The steel manufacturer treating preliminary plans as final plans, not verifying the math on their end.

The bridges' original design could only hold 60% of the minimum load required by city code. The design changes recommended by the manufacturer halved that. Less than a year and 3 weeks from opening to the public, the whole thing collapse.

Articles about the collapse say that everyone "trusted" the other party to have done the calculations correctly.

A significant portion of the population trusts what the computer or AI tells them, without checking. Imprecisely calibrated AI hallucinate information. The US economy is going into a downturn and federal regulatory agencies are being gutted.

We are going to see the Hyatt Regency Collapse repeat over and over for decades, not just in buildings, but in medicine, manufacturing, the environment, etc.

Some of this we're just going to have to weather, but the message for AI users comes straight from IBM (once the world's leading computer manufacturer) back in 1979:

"A Computer Cannot Be Held Accountable. Therefore A Computer Should Never Make A Management Decision."

The owner of the engineering firm that designed the Hyatt Regency spent the rest of his life lecturing on the disaster, to serve as a warning to his fellow engineers about the real-life consequences of sloppy design.

I don't think Sam Altman or Mark Zuckerberg or Elon Musk will have the courage or the honor to do that when OpenAI / Meta / xAI are responsible for getting people killed.

So if you're going to blindly trust the AI to do critical work tasks, I hope you're prepared to be making an apology tour for the rest of your life if it all goes wrong.

We've already seen AI give incredibly bad advice in numerous fields, including stuff like trail directions and identifying mushrooms. Pretty sure some AI "therapists" have convinced people to do drugs or kill themselves or other harmful acts.

We've already at the danger point, if not past it.

Cool Canadian history moment 🇨🇦:

We had some absolutely criminal negligence in the building of the Quebec Bridge, with multiple engineering firms ignoring real signs of structural issues.

There is some debate about this, but most engineers in Canada agree this started a new ritual upon graduation with a B. Eng from any Canadian university. You attend a ceremony upon graduation and are given an Iron Ring.

You wear it on the pinky of your dominant hand, so it touches any paper you are asked to sign. Every time you sign off on something in your capacity as an engineer, you are reminded of your duties and obligations.

I have engineers in my family, and it is considered a sacred oath. Much like doctors, Canadian engineers have an ethos to do no harm.

And if you genAI bullshitted your way through your degree, you didn’t earn your ring. How fucking dare you accept one.

white-aster

Also...do you really want to be treated in a hospital by nurses and doctors who didn't actually learn anything during their degrees? What about the lawyers you hire for that accident you get into? The landscapers and construction crew who do your renovations? The scientists who are trying to find ways to cure the diseases and health conditions that you and your family will contract? The teachers who teach your children?

It's like people have forgotten that the point of going to college is to actually learn the skills needed to be qualified for an actual job. If the college degree is no longer a guarantee that you've learned anything, then you're just basically hiring a high school senior.

Some people: Nico hischier would never write yaoi on ao3 about himself and jack hughes!!! This is stupid!!!

Other people: Nooo its a beautiful pairing!!! Let people enjoy things!!!

"hollander" (this doesn't have to change, we can go back, we can just be hollander and rozanov and ignore the strings, we can pretend it's nothing more and never talk about it and I'll never say shane again, I'll never ask for more if this is all i can get) "hollander" (there's nothing I can say to keep this from crumbling but i'm begging you)

Okay, yeah, I'm fucking tired of people saying the worst antisemitic shit in the world (stop fucking calling Jews you don't like nazis) always fucking calling Israel an ethnostate. It fucking isn't. Here's the definition of an ethnostate:

a sovereign state of which citizenship is restricted to members of a particular racial or ethnic group.

Israel is NOT an ethnostate. Out of the 9.97 million citizens who live there, 2.2 million citizens are Arab. And those citizens have full rights under the law. You can be naturalized into Israeli citizenship without being Jewish. Israel isn't an ethnostate and anyone who says it is just wants to hate Jews.

prismatic-bell

There is an ethnostate in the region, by the way.

It's Qatar.

penrosesun

Yeah, idk if it's just that as a Jew I'm inured to the Israel side of this double standard, but I'll be honest: it's actually the ignoring of Qatar that gets my blood boiling, not the bizarre hyper-focus on Israel. There's this weird over-correction that seems to have happened on this site and others, where in order for "the Middle East is not just sand dunes and camels and poor ignorant tribal people" to sink in, a bunch of y'all needed to turn all the way around and start stanning for Qatar and Saudi Arabia and even fucking Iran now, apparently, as though these are not brutally repressive regimes who, yes, sure, are also full-fledged countries with electricity and internet and populations who go to universities and study science and medicine and who don't spend all their time squatting in huts and doing tribal chants or whatever the fuck gross orientalist thing you believed before... but are also, again brutally repressive regimes.

Qatar is an ethnostate. It's also an authoritarian absolute monarchy, which bans trade unions, criminalizes gay sex, engages in widespread and systemic labor trafficking, and sentences people to flogging, sometimes for crimes as absurd as "being a rape victim adulterer."

Al Jazeera isn't just a mouthpiece for the Qatari government, but it isn't not a mouthpiece for the Qatari government. They do some good reporting, and I'm not denying that, but they are hardly unbiased on issues that implicate Qatari interests. I've seen people on this site poo-poo the BBC on account of the UK's pretty egregious continuing involvement in certain conflicts... and then I've seen those exact same people treat what is essentially just the Qatari BBC as though it is literal gospel. Guys, genuinely, wtf? Either these issues are huge, serious issues that you care about, or they aren't. If your position is that all ethnostates are innately evil and that all media publications that they produce are innately suspect, then holy shit, you need to stop citing Al Jazeera as your primary news source for literally everything.

Considering how much goyim complain about what they see as outsized focus on Holocaust education, so many goyim know absolutely jackshit about the Holocaust

phoukanamedpookie

Because the Holocaust was meant to be some sort of self-improvement lesson about man's inhumanity to man or something universal like that, not specifically about us pesky, whiny Jews.
