  • Rescue from without

    Description

    The hero is rescued from a final plight from an unexpected source.

    The rescuer may be someone who had previously abandoned the hero or even someone the hero does not know. In mythic stories, this intervention may come from a god.

    Example

    In Star Wars, Han Solo returns to help Luke fight the Tie Fighters. In Return of the Jedi, Luke needs the redeemed Vader to destroy the Emperor.

    In Lord of the Rings, Frodo is unable to destroy the ring by himself, needing Gollum's unwitting help to complete the deed. Soon after, Frodo and Sam are rescued by the eagles.

  • Amazon blames human employees for an AI coding agent’s mistake | Two minor AWS outages have reportedly occurred as a result of actions by Amazon’s AI tools

    Jump

  • This is a terrible idea for Amazon, the cloud services company.

    But for Amazon, the AI company? This is them illustrating the new grift that almost any company can do: use AI to keep a plausible mirage of your company going while reducing opex, and sacrifice humans when necessary to dodge accountability.

    But his job wasn’t even to supervise the chatbot adequately (single-handedly fact-checking 10 lists of 15 items is a long, labor-intensive pro­cess). Rather, it was to take the blame for the factual inaccuracies in those lists. He was, in the phrasing of Dan Davies, “an accountability sink” (or as Madeleine Clare Elish puts it, a “moral crumple zone”).

  • Finally, some good fucking rule

  • Is there an end to the RAM crisis?

    Jump

  • Maybe through CXL you’ll be able to “download more RAM” (renting it, really)

  • The Fed just dropped $18.5 billion into the banking system this week. It's only the fourth biggest cash infusion since the pandemic panic and even tops the dot-com bubble's peak.

  • zooms out a bit

    Ah, so it’s like a mini pandemic?

    zooms out a bit more

    …or like a “normal day” in the few years leading up to 2008. That’s a good sign…

  • I totally agree, too much is too much.

    Jump

  • Not saying mod was wrong but… It’s weird how we define politics.

    Like, if portals started randomly appearing all over the Earth, spawning little goblins that like to turn human bodies inside-out, that would pretty clearly not be politics — but only for like 2 months.

    After a while, the political parties would settle on their positions (probably with one of them calling it a hoax), and from that point forward saying “I can’t believe people are okay with the inside-out goblins” will be labeled “political”.

    Which I guess is basically how fascism wins so easily. As long as it’s impolite to acknowledge the horrors of the world, it’s okay for them to continue.

  • Multiple things can be true at once.

    • The election process in the US is horribly constructed in the first place
    • It’s executed even more poorly
    • Nevertheless, voting does determine who sits in the seat
    • It does matter who sits in the seat
    • The person who sits in the seat will represent the wealthy and powerful, not you
    • It does matter who represents the powerful, because they can be pushed (by the people, and by the powerful) in different ways
    • Even if we get the right person in the seat, and do a very good job of pushing them, it won’t be enough
    • We need to do it anyway, because that act of organizing isn’t only to influence politicians — it’s also to influence ourselves, and improve our ability to find a path to real victory

    Don’t think that voting alone is sufficient. Don’t think that voting and organizing are sufficient. But also don’t think that voting and organizing are not necessary.

  • They're worried they're not spending enough on AI.

    Classic MLM tactics. “If you’re not seeing a return on Herbalife, it’s cuz you’re not spending enough on it!”

  • This sounds eerily familiar…

    I don’t know if Hearst told him to use a chatbot to generate their “Best of Summer Lists,” but it doesn’t matter. When you give a freelancer an assignment to turn around ten summer lists on a short timescale, everyone understands that his job isn’t to write those lists, it’s to supervise a chatbot.

    But his job wasn’t even to supervise the chatbot adequately (single-handedly fact-checking 10 lists of 15 items is a long, labor-intensive pro­cess). Rather, it was to take the blame for the factual inaccuracies in those lists.
