Kristi Noem's actions call attention to what a joke the Hatch Act is. Violations with only civil penalties mean nothing to people so well aligned with getting and keeping power.

The Microsoft 2025 Work Trend Index report is out: blogs.microsoft.com/blog/2025/04...
"every worker will need to think like the CEO of an agent-powered startup. In fact, leaders expect their teams will be training (41%) and managing (36%) agents in 5 years."
This tracks with my lived experience.
> The conclusion is the existence of tasks in which labor retains the comparative advantage does not imply that there will necessarily be sufficient demand for those residual tasks to keep everyone in well-paid employment. There is no economic law that says this outcome must be so.
Whee.
> The general observation is that we might have reasons to value the [outcome] that a great mind makes, but we might also attach value to [process] it was a human being who made them.
There is no place for such a value system in capitalism. The outcome is the only thing that matters.
But the affordable AI-enabled system will end up being enshittified, and eventually worse than having a human doing the work. Because capitalism.

Elevation in heart rate detected. Would you like a pill?
> an AI-enabled medical diagnostic system, for instance, that provides more affordable access to the sort of medical expertise that, in the past, might have been available only to a privileged and lucky few.
Elysium (2013) "Elevation in heart rate detected. Would you like a pill?"
It's nice to see a Seinfeld obvious level observation I had years ago confirmed in a academic-ish paper.
