And Skinner's pigeons probably even believed their minds have power over random outside events!

It's hard. Just a thought - maybe he will open up more if he feels more safe.

To answer literally - and cryptically - how did Skinner get the rats to enter the boxes in the first place?

Thank you.

To be clear, you say?

Anyway, nice job holding someone accountable for perceiving!

>his mom and I do. And all of our friends. And coworkers. And my boss. And his boss. And our CEO. And the fucking president.

>I'm expected

So, who's doing the expecting?

Only half joking: do him a favor and teach him to avoid the passive voice like that.

>You can’t hand wave away the work of interpreting (aka listening) to someone.

And yet, that's what their manager did.

Not only that, they precluded interpretation for the other people, by running the documentation through the language mixer.

And half the commenters are blaming GP for making the effort to do the right thing.

"Power", "authority", literally refers to the ability to hand-wave interpretative labor uncontested. (See: Graeber 2006, yeah the one about his mum dying)

Let us know how that goes, telling someone who is defending themself from you how they should "Be More Vulnerable!"

>Perhaps you should ask the manager why he passed it through AI.

Note that the manager may or may not have incentive at all to provide useful or even meaningful feedback.

I mean, he did pass on an incorrect version of the documentation, didn't he?

hi! yes. perhaps he wil write inchoate sentence like point out which word is wrong

>One suspicion I have is that your one-pager was passed through AI because it was too terse to serve the job of aiding the general reader in obtaining an understanding of the topic for themselves.

"Too terse" beats "factually wrong" any day. Anyone who claims otherwise is evil.

>Writing to be read by an audience is a vastly different activity than writing notes that merely, precisely, document for the maximally informed highest-context reader (or one willing to do the work of reassembling this context during reading).

Now do "writing to be read by an unwilling audience", and "writing to be read by an audience that controls the feeder and shockprod".

Yes exactly, why are those things the case?

In fact, you could do this for a homeless person today, in any city on the globe! And never even ask them to do anything for you!

>what is demand elasticity for software?

NP-hard

>I fully expect to get a call about her having ODed

Guess she's still your problem then.

Poor people.

Nice try. In a society where there are not enough private acts to constitute a private self, who's even caring for whom?

Oh, "tending to". (As in actually failing but successfully pretending. Neato!)

Someone just handed me a smartphone today; the second thing I saw it say was something to the effect of "Gemini can look at your screen now (CoPilot outrage style)" and then I politely noped the fuck out of the building.

I expect that info to be completely sufficient to dox me; in the meantime, while waiting for the boys to arrive -- does anyone know how to make the camera in Waydroid not crash the entire stack? Or am I to understand that as yet another bloody rite of passage?

RIP American democracy, we hardly knew ye.

One word: Omelas.

Or maybe the majority of those people have crappy WordPress websites because they got some social proof that having a website equals making more money, so they scammed some freelancer out of some hours and hey presto.

Then the social proof moved to proprietary darknets, e.g. Facebook pages, which is easier - you don't have to learn anything.

I've seen no local small business care about its webpage, but I've seen a lot of them painfully struggle with crappy LOB smartphone apps.

I expect software and UX to only decline in quality.

Nah, the majority of y'all are jocks or worse.

>only time in your life when you are surrounded by experts who will spend an hour a week answering any questions you can think of.

Why is that a resource of "once-in-a-lifetime" scarcity in the first place?

150 years later normies still risk being put in the grapecage for ingesting substances into their own bodies which serve to alter their own minds.

Whose mind is it anyway, Dudley?

>What really is a dork?

Someone who might not be very smart per se, but whose mind has not yet been murdered and replaced by a sort of mandatory prosthesis made out of complex conditioned responses (after the operation, they'd be more properly an ork).

Yeah, turns out the uncanny valley effect works in both directions.

Maybe more like translated by slopmachine.

The argument TFA makes is rather facile nonetheless.

Like this stuff is intuitively known to any Ukrainian 3rd grader but not to Western business leaders?

No wonder yall got an AI problem...

Idk if written by slop or just machine-translated into slop from a language that is not as sloppy as English, but enabler mentality nonetheless:

>The danger here is not the scapegoating itself; humans will scapegoat at all times.

Your humans are faulty, request refund.

>Thunderbird has its own merits and they work without Firefox.

Fair enough, I guess. I stand corrected.

And where I live you can sometimes still see a horse-drawn cart on the roads. Albeit rarely - they are forbidden. 10 or 20 years ago it was more common. I rode one once a bunch of years ago, went with its owner to harvest construction materials from a collapsed building.

Plus, on the way here today, I passed over a favela-type assemblage I can only describe as festering. No offense meant to its inhabitants - they are more real human beings than any of us.

Point being, the future has been here for long enough. And, as the adage goes, it's not evenly distributed. I never made any money from being strong or being intelligent; my usefulness, like that of any "nerd", was rooted in knowledge arbitrage. Now that the psychopaths in charge have cognitive prosthetics, I expect to be culled.

>Who would you trust more?

Nobody I'd mention on Hacker News!

Correct. And yet, people are not doing it.

Because Firefox is the only thing that lends Mozilla any credibility.

So what if it hasn't?
