No, AI is not Making Engineers 10x as Productive Curing Your AI 10x Engineer Imposter Syndrome

This is the single best piece I've read on "replacing coders with AI," it fully dispells the myth from the perspective of a software engineer and does so in a calm, reasonable way.

Many home care workers are immigrants. Now, some are afraid to go to work. Last year, 65% of people working for Chicago-area home care agencies werenโ€™t citizens. There are early signs that a federal campaign against immigration is keeping them off the job.

Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.

but making custom gold gifts to show fealty is really next level shit

I wrote one pro-Warren column in 2019 and then for 9 months these guys were sending me unhinged emails, making vulgar photoshops of my face, and in one instance, actually yelling at me in public.

JD Vanceโ€™s team had water level of Ohio river raised for familyโ€™s boating trip
Exclusive: Incident raises questions of exploitation of public services, but Secret Service says it was requested for โ€˜safe navigationโ€™

JD Vanceโ€™s team had the army corps of engineers take the unusual step of changing the outflow of a lake in Ohio to accommodate a recent boating excursion on a family holiday, the Guardian has learned.

The request from the US Secret Service was made to โ€œsupport safe navigationโ€ of the US vice-presidentโ€™s security detail for an August outing on the Little Miami River, according to a statement by the US army corps of engineers (USACE).

Vance was spotted in the south-western Ohio area on 2 August, his 41st birthday, according to social media posts that noted he was seen canoeing on the river, a tributary that Caesar Creek Lake feeds into.

One source with knowledge of the matter who communicated with the Guardian anonymously alleged that the outflow request for the Caesar Creek Lake was not just to support the vice-presidentโ€™s Secret Service detail, but also to create โ€œideal kayaking conditionsโ€. The Guardian could not independently confirm this specific claim.

What good is being VP if you can't abuse your power to have the Army Corps of Engineers making your kayaking trip more ideal by changing the waterflow of a lake?

Just in case itโ€™s not already clear that ICE is a white supremacist thug army, Homeland Security is recruiting with a โ€œdefend your cultureโ€ slogan.

This is no accident. Remember, DHS did the same thing a few weeks ago. They love using Nazi imagery.

Oh look, ICE is copying literal Nazi recruiting propaganda again. The poster on the right is for the Volkssturm, the Nazi militia of older men and boys established during the final months of World War II.

After Dangerous Understaffing Due To DOGE, National Weather Service Hiring 450 People Meteorologists and climate scientists have warned of consequences with fewer workers in crucial positions.

The National Weather Service will hire as many as 450 people after Elon Musk's DOGE gutted the agency, leaving it dangerously understaffed.

People who push the idea that AI will replace artists are actively trying to destroy the concept of the human soul

They don't want to create machines with human intelligence. They want to reduce humans to the status of machines: interchangeable, disposable hardware

STOP.

Employees of a company cannot be โ€˜reassignedโ€™.

Theyโ€™ve been illegally enlisted to do a job they never agreed to or lose their jobs.

What- and I canโ€™t stress this enough- the ever loving FUCK is going on in this country right now?????

Weโ€™ve discovered a literal miracle with almost unlimited potential and itโ€™s being scrapped for *no reason whatsoever*. This isnโ€™t even nihilism, itโ€™s outright worship of death and human suffering.

Every reputable expert I know considers mRNA vaccine technology to be one of the most revolutionary advances in medicine in our lifetimes. Its inventors won the Nobel Prize in 2023. Shutting it down now is pointless self-harm to humanity.
