"Our most effective weapons against AI, and the right wing that has adopted it, may not be strikes, boycotts or the power of dialectics. They might be replying “cringe,” “this sucks,” and “this looks like shit.”

It’s always funny when palantir employees discover that they work at palantir

So far, Carney's cut my taxes by about $9 a month. With this new GST rebate, bump that up to maybe $20-$30 a month.

That's not even a week of groceries.

These tax cuts are meaningless, they don't address anything. They're not even a bandaid solution, they're a crumpled old pocket kleenex solution.

Stop being a Jira product manager Many product managers spend a disproportionate amount of their time in Jira. I get it – PMs are responsible for driving the product work that gets delivered to customers, and Jira is the primary tool ...

I definitely think one element of this particular response is “we need to find the men who are really running all this.”

Why I'm Leaving Big Tech A tech worker's reflections

“This will result in the largest ever accumulation of power and wealth in the hands of a diminishing few, while the legitimate needs of the people…are met with ‘let them eat chatbots’. That *is* the intent and why AI is a project of class domination.” — disjunctionsmag.com/articles/why...

Oh yeah that happens a lot

Sadly we have moved on without any more helpful updates. Another cold case for the subway detectives.

I'm a 10x developer, but unfortunately only in binary

NJ Transit isn't running today so I'm not sure how

A further announcement has added details: this is "a situation with an individual"

We're about to crack this case wide open, I can feel it

"There is a train in front of us with a situation," says the train driver, in what could only be described as the least helpful announcement of all time.

Then he adds that it is an "investigation situation" and suggests that NYPD is on the platform if we need assistance (with the investigation???)

You've mastered every product management framework: OKRs. SAFe. RASCI. HEART. But I bet you haven't even heard of LIGMA.

Bringing My Whole Self To Work by turning my webcam on a rakish slant that shows my fun loving personality

Guardrails are a scam. It's not that they could work, it's that they cannot and never will for such models. By design. 1/n

Roose is too far gone for that, he's been huffing AI fumes for years

AI fanboys: I'm putting multi-agent claudeswarms in charge of my life, consulting chatbots before every decision, wireheading

Tech workers: The only piece of technology in my house is a printer and I keep a gun next to it so I can shoot it if it makes a noise I don't recognize.

It's a three-pronged attack: subliminal, liminal, and super-liminal.

Together with Jensen Huang and Satya Nadella straight up pleading for people to stop criticizing AI and instead use more of it, I think we can confidently say that they lost control of the narrative and they know it.

Anyway this is the shit that they call "unskilled labor" but it is actually really fucking hard to be able to anticipate needs and meet them before they come up.

"everyone is talking about machine learning but no one is talking about machine yearning" used to be a joke, but now they are playing it straight
