textbook way to NOT rollout AI for your org. AI has genuine benefits to white collar workers, but they are not trained for the use-cases that would actually benefit them, nor are they trained in what the tech is actually good at. they are being punished for using the tools poorly (with no guidance on how to use them "good"), and when they use the tools well, they fear being laid off once an SOP for their AI workflows are written.


So the simple answer here seems to be removing our focus from satisfying property owners, no? It's okay to abandon a system when it no longer works for the community. Constituents having to move to capture the improvement in pricing is not the ideal outcome, the ideal outcome is protecting constituents and meeting them where they are. In the worst case scenario, constituents might end up homeless rather than stable in another district where prices are lower, whereas land owners might see the line on a chart go down if the value of their real estate drops. I am much more inclined to help the constituents...


Perhaps politicians and property owners both needs to fear the status quo.


Probably a combination of people not having the money to do so right now and the fact that a lot of people would kill to get their hands on some of the stuff in that museum. not sure how much of it was successfully auctioned off but that's just a guess.

awesome resource, mahalo nui loa


I only avoided suicide because of social media. I had no way to hang out with friends because my parents were always too busy working to take me places so I talked with my online friends to numb the pain.


It's sad that you depended on your parents for transport to your friends. Ideally a teenager would be able to walk or ride a bicycle to hang out with peers. Or take a bus. Did you live in a place where homes were very far apart?


Societal acceptance of such dangerous activity has been dropping lately:

That’s got to be an outlier? Small remote town + over aggressive cops with nothing better to do. This same exact story comes up in these conversations repeatedly. One would think that if there was an epidemic of parents being arrested we would hear more about it.

Around where I live (suburban though not as remote as the place in the article) I see groups of kids by themselves all the time. Older than age 9, but still.


It's an outlier but it's the leading edge of the Overton windowframe. The age at which it's acceptable to be out by yourself gets older every year.


There's a LOT of different organisations that all had to contribute to create a result this bad. Cops, yes, but that's just step 1. Social workers, of at least 2 different organisations. The justice system, including prosecutors and judges ... because if they wouldn't back the social workers there's nothing they could have done.

... which adds up to a lot of people that could have stopped this if they wanted to. NONE of them did.


you're ignorant or extremely privileged if you think kids dont worry. have you ever had a parent be ill and your family has no money for their treatment?


OK, you got me. A lack of socialized everything that started in 2012 is the cause of the teen mental illness epidemic. Get out and vote everyone!!!


[flagged]


OP is sarcastically pointing out that since the US has never had socialized health care, that cannot be the explanation for a sudden uptick in mental health issues circa 2012.


I agree wholeheartedly. I was working a part time job in highschool to pay for my gas and other expenses, when I should have been doing kid things. Also as an early teenager I turned to online communities because there was no other way to interact with irl friends outside of school. It was too dangerous to ride a bike to a friends house (cars), I couldn't drive, and my parents were always working so they couldn't give me rides. I still needed some sort of social interaction though, so of course I turned to the internet.


went to go check out their youtube channel cus i really wanted to learn more about Mariam and she doesn't even appear in the videos, its all her dad lol


Highly agree. Why would you want to just keep up the cycle of poverty? Especially the fact that this guy is 66 and had kids with a Vietnamese woman who is most definitely 40 years younger than him. I see it all too often where white men take advantage of south east Asian women and live comfortably by keeping others in poverty.


Keeping others in poverty by spending in the local economy and employing locals?


I mean gentrification is a thing but it takes a lot of demand in the area


> take advantage

You are assuming that these hypothetical "south east Asian women" are being exploited due to their contrast with "white men" i.e.:

- They are not white

- They are women

And they are being exploited solely because of these factors. This is both racist and sexist, which is just entirely a bad starting point for a view of the world. Everyone that you speak of has agency and makes choices. Perhaps you feel one side has been coerced, but frankly I do not see it from what you've pointed out here. All I see is people using the agency they have to make life choices that they think are best. That's a good thing.
