"The problem with AI isn't that it can do your job. It can't. The problem with AI is that your MBA-brained boss's boss doesn't know how your job works and thinks AI can do your job at fractions of a penny on the dollar, and hears the siren song of 'maximize shareholder value'."

MBA-brain is real.

I cant even imagine why, as a student, you would want to do this. You are there to learn not regurgitate some crap from a LLM.

The excitement and fervor with which news orgs report on how destructive these weapons are is an indictment of our lust for death and violence. These are tools that hopefully aren't needed not cool play things that need to be lauded as "news."

A cartoon showing various activity at an airport, including an extorted luxury jet, an exploding X rocket, a ketamine enthusiast wheeling a barrow of money to his plane, many ICE officers -- some taking people to an El Salvador plane, another with a zip-tied child being blocked by a federal judge -- scientists boarding a plane to Europe, a medical self-educator covered with pox, and more. All the people are represented by various animals. The story is made in the style of a Richard Starry children's book.  Alt text borrowed from Mastodon..

If a foreign government conspired to decimate US science and technology in a manner akin to what Project 2025 architects purport to do, we would go to war.

Just because they are under a cloak of self declared patriotism does not mean that they are not effectively acting as enemies of the state.

The best Memorial Day speech is only 271 words and wasn't delivered on Memorial Day, but on November 19, 1863. Read it carefully, it's the most important speech in American military history (and maybe all of American history).
