Some of y’all don’t know what “third world” means and it shows.

Crash course

First World: I was on the side of the US and it’s Allies

Second world: I was on the side of Russia/the Soviet union

Third world: I was not involved in these conflicts

Stop using “third world” to mean “poor” and “first world” to mean “rich”

[safije]

People in the US are some of the most out of touch. I seen a reel of a woman complaining about being middle class because she makes around 6 figures but she isn't "rich enough" and has to pay taxes to benefit the poor. Like, what is this lunatic talking about? And a lot of the comments agree with her...

CIOs told: Prove your AI pays off – or pay the price

: Boards demand measurable ROI as budgets, bonuses, and jobs hang in the balance

The clock is ticking for AI projects to either prove their worth or face the chopping block. Or so says data management and machine learning biz DataikuAI, which commissioned research conducted online by the Harris Poll to get a snapshot of the views from 600 Chief information officers (CIOs) across the US, UK, France, Germany, UAE, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore. The report, "The 7 Career-Making AI Decisions for CIOs in 2026," claims AI is facing corporate accountability in 2026 after several years of investment into research and pilot projects. CIOs are worried their careers are on the line if the tech's effectiveness falls short of expectations. Money continues to be pumped into AI as the next great thing in business, but a growing number of studies have found that adopting AI tools hasn't helped the bottom line, and enterprises are seeing neither increased revenue nor decreased costs from their AI projects. In the past, the CIO could argue that a new tech was in its early development, evolving, or "still being optimized," Dataiku's report notes, but regulators are looking for traceability, corporate boards are asking for performance, and investors want to see quicker value generation. Perhaps not surprisingly, almost all respondents (98 percent) said pressure from the board to demonstrate measurable return on investment (ROI) is increasing, and retaining budgets may depend on whether they can prove a measurable return.

World 1 ("Our World")

[brazilspill]

Americans will ask third worlders stuff like "Do you have alligators/jaguars/lions/etc walking in the streets?" because they think it's a marker of third world countries being poor.

Meanwhile, we have to be like "No, Becky, you don't see alligators wandering the streets in Brazil. You're thinking of Florida."

I never doubted that no revolution will come from the first world but it never ceases to amaze me when americans make "how to resist fascism" type lists that are like

1. Go to google maps and report the golf of america for misinformation, if you can find the energy to do so

2. Listen to these "revolutionary" songs, if you're in that head space

3. Unfollow these celebrities, if you can handle it

4. Boycott stuff that supports genocide, if you can find it in your heart to care about genocide victims of course

5. And last but not least don't forget to take it easy because your peace is more important than activism

And i'm literally not inventing any of these, including the ends

From the black panthers to poor little babies that can't even unfollow a war criminal
