Up next Zoom CEO says hold my beer because we can make work dystopia even more dystopian with digital clones using AI in your Zoom meeting!

Yeah let’s guess how well the humans on the receiving end of an AI clone attendee feel about this.

"Nowe tłumaczenie jednej z najbardziej przełomowych książek XX wieku odchodzi od utartych rozwiązań terminologicznych i oferuje świeże spojrzenie na kultowy tekst Orwella, podkreślające jego niesłabnącą aktualność również w dzisiejszych czasach (..) Trudno przecenić znaczenie tej powieści dla współczesnej kultury. Orwell nie tylko mistrzowsko obnażył w niej mechanizmy działania totalitaryzmu i propagandy, lecz również trafnie pokazał, jak wielką rolę w totalnej kontroli nad społeczeństwem mogą odegrać media i język fałszujący rzeczywistość." (fragment opisu)


".. książkę przetłumaczył Jerzy Łoziński, uaktualniając tekst i odchodząc od utartych terminologii.Mimo że 1984 zostało napisane w 1949 roku, jego tematyka pozostaje niezwykle aktualna. W dobie fake newsów, inwigilacji internetowej i toczących się wojen poza granicami naszego kraju książka Orwella pomaga zrozumieć współczesne zagrożenia.
Powieść przypomina o fundamentalnym znaczeniu wolności myśli, wypowiedzi i prywatności. W świecie, gdzie technologie inwigilacyjne stają się coraz bardziej zaawansowane, zrozumienie tych wartości jest kluczowe dla obrony praw obywatelskich.
Nowe tłumaczenie 1984 wydaje się być nieco łatwiejsze w czytaniu od jego poprzednika, a odświeżona terminologia bardziej atrakcyjna dla młodszych odbiorców. Teraz zamiast „Tygodnia Nienawiści” znajdziemy w tekście „Tydzień Hejtu” oraz więcej zwrotów z języka potocznego np. „fajny”. Nawet kwestie polityczne zostały opisane lżejszym i łatwiejszym stylem, co zapobiega znudzeniu." (fragment recenzji opublik. na writerat.pl)

I want to make a space game that takes place in a utopia.

But damn, dystopias make for so much better stories.

Do you know any good games where society is not falling apart, and you are not in misery and you must work your way out?

Where the world is as it should be, everybody's taken care of, and you can explore the beauty of the world in a carefree way?

"Everybody looks at everybody all the time and you don't need to be a celebrity to feel the need for privacy. I myself was recently in big trouble with my Confessor for being slow to post a birthing video. I'm not talking about being either an extrovert or an introvert: I'm talking about people who don't believe privacy is a perversion, people who think it might even be a virtue."

So… apparently #Valorant, or probably rather the #Vanguard "anti-cheat" system, is now taking screenshots of your desktop.

Not the game. Your desktop.

If it is Vanguard then quite a lot of games are now not just Ring 0 malware but openly admit to enact surveillance methods.

You can't make that shit up. And people still install it because apparently nerds are the only ones who still give a shit.

There is a whole lot of #business #AI #IT and #chatgpt idiocy to unpack in this article, not the least is the self satirizing tone of the clueless author, despite the hopeful clickbait headline. If this is what companies are really thinking, it's the #cominglaborapocalypse around the corner. Either that or there will be no people who know how the computers or software works.

Red states like Ky are planning to eliminate income taxes to move to an entirely sales tax system. They plan to tax all goods & services, so presumably your doctor, home care, your bookkeeper, and your contract labor will all have to charge you sales tax on top of their regular co-pays & fees.

Of course, that means the brunt of all taxes will be paid by the low wage working poor, and the rich will not be affected - nor pay any tax on their income. Small biz is screwed.

Of course, this being the GOP in Kentucky, they will no doubt slap sales taxes on Food & Medicine, too, just to make sure they hurt the poor as much as possible.

B/c that's what right wing christians do - hurt the poor, disabled, elderly by depriving them of food, med care, affordable housing, and then criminalizing homelessness for good measure. In the name of their evil god.

I learned a fascinating fact the other day.

It is estimated that during the Roman Empire 20% to 30% of Italy's population were slaves. For the empire as a whole that share was between 10% and 15%.

In these times, even modest Roman households might expect to own two or three slaves.

It will give you a drug-free mind-blowing experience!
