Don't Buy Starbucks! At any location, today and beyond, while workers are on ULP strike!

Don't Buy Starbucks! At any location, today and beyond, while workers are on ULP strike!

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Itโ€™s weird to me that thereโ€™s an entire book about his campaign that gets this wrong on the front cover

I can totally see it. Sort of funny you mention Barthelme specifically though, because when Iโ€™m taking stock of all the things a LLM could never do, I look at stories like โ€œRebeccaโ€ and think, โ€œa computer could neverโ€

computers can do this sort of thing for us, with critic-computers monitoring their output. When computers learn how to make jokes, artists will be in serious trouble. But artists will respond in such a way as to make art impossible for the computer. They will redefine art to take this into account (that is, to exclude) technology โ€” photographyโ€™s impact upon painting and paintingโ€™s brilliant response being a clear and comparatively recent example.

Iโ€™m curious what it means for a computer to be โ€œgood at Barthelme,โ€ but itโ€™s also worth noting that he was thinking about this scenario decades ago (passage from โ€œOn Writingโ€)
