Thank you for the very interesting peak behind the curtain!

I generally make it a policy to try my best to never be angry at workers who aren’t in the top 1% of income distribution. Usually problems like this arise because corporate has bad policies which result in workers unable to adequately address the situation.

It shouldn’t be up to the customer to police this. The CFIA needs to be doing a few more spot checks to ensure compliance.

Although I suppose any fines are effectively going to get passed on to the consumers anyways. :/

It’s been a thinly veiled secret that the dentistry industry in Canada is rife with charlatans recommending and performing unbeneficial procedures. It shouldn’t be too surprising that there’s going to be an increase in scrutiny on these practices, and that it’ll result in a lot of rejected requests.

I just hope it doesn’t end up going too far in the opposite direction, and necessary procedures are cancelled or delayed.

That said, it also seems like a lot of these rejected claims are from mistakes in the filing process, and these should lessen as providers get acclimated.

Is this not illegal?

AI has been a well established field of computer science for over 50 years. While LLMs are certainly a part of that field, it’s technically incorrect to conflate the two.

Just using “LLM” is also a bit over-specific, however, as it’d exclude text-to-image models, and others. “GenAI” is probably the most correct term to use to refer to the transformer-based deep neural networks that have become popular in the last several years.

That said, language prescriptivism is rarely effective. So while I agree it’s incorrect to call this “AI”, good luck getting laypeople to use the correct technical language from a field they mostly have very limited knowledge of.

I’m always sad when tomatoes season ends. IMO tomatoes are the singular item with the biggest difference between grocery store and local heirloom ones. It’s like night and day.

I suppose you’re right. It’s irresponsible to let him plead stupidity for fleecing us, when it’s all very calculated.

Carney can’t decide if he wants elbows up or not. In fact, he flipflops so much, he looks like hes doing the chicken dance.

Based and mikupilled.

Sorry, I should’ve been more specific. Its a Pentium III Coppermine-based Celeron. Its the only chip Intel sold that ran at that clock speed.

Post it as a code block, and maybe it’ll format better?

Edit: nope. Monospaced makes it look very silly. Lol

I gotchu fam. In this picture, @OuRKaos@lemmy.today is clearly not with Epstein:

That’s a Pentium III Coppermine CPU in there, placing it around 2000 to 2001, so that means it’ll be $1,200.

If you inflation adjust it, judging by current food and housing prices, it’s probably closer to $10k. 🙃

May you all rot in hell.

They’ve strayed so far from the teachings of their own god, I’m fairly certain that’s the biblically prescribed punishment.

Grats Saba! Now on to 2M!

I must have been looking away, when it happened, truely unfortunate.

This is a problem that’s been brewing for a long time. Their business model is untenable at the scale they’re at without relying on near slave labour. Their massive profits come more from scale, than absolute margin, so if they actually payed a living wage they’d be in the red.

So now y’all will have to wait until the coming food shortages drive up prices before the pay is enough to interest other Americans that’d otherwise have no interest in those sorts of jobs.

The owners won’t play ball without getting their pound of flesh.

In that case, by all means. But deport him through the proper channels, not ICE nonsense.
