He has sat immobile, His body slowly crumbling, within the Golden Throne of Terra for over 10,000 standard years. Although once a living man, His shattered, decaying body can no longer support life, and it is kept intact only by the cybernetic mechanisms of the Golden Throne and a potent mind itself sustained by the daily sacrifice of thousands of lives.

OECD: AI likely to significantly impact jobs. 27% of jobs are in occupations at high-risk of automation. (www.oecd.org)

While firms’ adoption of AI is still relatively low, rapid progress including with generative AI (e.g. ChatGPT), falling costs and the increasing availability of workers with AI skills suggest that OECD countries may be on the brink of an AI revolution. It is vital to gather new and better data on AI uptake and use in the...

Why aren't there more worker co-ops?

Even when I was living in a very liberal area, there were only a small handful of stores that advertised as worker co-ops. It’s funny too because those co-op stores were all incredibly popular and successful, so I don’t understand why they are so comparatively rare? The organizational structure seems simple to maintain, and...

electronicoldman,

Except for the fact that you clearly don’t know how shareholder structures work, so just sit down and shut up. Maybe you’ll learn something. Assuming, you’re really not a shill.

electronicoldman,

Sure I’ll start you off. You have a silly belief that in a co-op, every worker has input into every process and policy. Where tf did you get that idea? That alone is proof that you’re full of shit and don’t know what you’re talking about.

electronicoldman,

there are far more people involved at every phase of decisionmaking

This is just your imagination of how you think co-ops work.

what are these shareholder structures you were talking about where large numbers of shareholders are involved in the regular operation of a business

Now it’s my turn to ask when did I say that?

Ready to take the plunge and spin up a Lemmy server but I'm already stuck trying to come up with a domain name.

As the title says, I’m ready to fire up a Lemmy server of my own. I have a suitable VPS running Debian 11. I think I can probably make short work of it once I get past this one difficult point. What should I call my Lemmy server? With catchy names out there like “Lemmy.World” and “sh.itjust.works”, I really want to...

electronicoldman,

I’m not in this picture so clearly it’s not “all the contents of the universe”.

electronicoldman,

Just look at the guns these zealots buy. Big and black. Combine that with the typical racialized sexual insecurities of the white male conservative American, which as a group is becoming more and more incel because no woman in this day and age wants anything to do with them.

electronicoldman, (edited )

Well my opinion is based on data. There’s a reason why you don’t see these incel shooters buying snub nose revolvers or ultra compacts. And yes, I do think those types of guys spend way more time thinking about what’s in other dude’s pants than is healthy.

electronicoldman,

I use Mastodon for microblogging, it pretty much replaced twitter for me.

electronicoldman,

I guess I’m about to show my age here but this was a problem on forums before Reddit too.

electronicoldman,

Content quality and the rate of submission has clearly plummeted.

I’ve noticed this too. Almost all of the subs I regularly go to have been filled by obvious “seed”-content posting by brand new and never before seen in the sub accounts, with upvotes equaling some of the highest voted (for the sub). It actually pushed me to migrate to Lemmy more.

electronicoldman,

Reddit is a read-only site for me now, and only when I’m searching for something specific. All my “forum browsing” time goes to Lemmy now. Can’t wait until I can unfollow the last few Twitter-only accounts (public transit alert accounts) so I can complete my migration to Mastodon.

Gaming often fetishises the new but many great things exist in the past, so let's strap into our time machines and talk about our favourite games released before say 2010?

Just as with books, movies, plays etc the past holds a treasure trove of amazing experiences. Unless you have a lot more free time than I do it’s unlikely you’ve played anywhere near the majority of the classics. Let’s get out those pink sunnies and compare notes on some of our favourite releases....

electronicoldman,

Tetris (Game Boy/TI-83) and Nokia Snake. Those were my main mobile games for many many years. I don’t think I need to say anything about the games themselves. You all know what’s up 😆.

Warcraft 2. (I played this before Warcraft 1.) (Un)holy fuck. Everything about this game at the time was so metal. Started my lifelong bias for playing as Orcs in video games. Art and music are 😘👌 classic.

Deus Ex. I won’t call it a masterpiece, but it’s an iconic piece of gaming. I thought the “solve the missions however you want!” aspect was a bit oversold but replaying it during the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic just made me realize how good the story and lore writers were. Music was great too, and it’s a good source for memes.

electronicoldman,

“Old men. Running the world. A new age!”

Jk 🤣 it’s more like “I, for one, welcome our AGI-robot overlord(s).”
