I dunno which is worse; that job listing itself, or everyone praising OpenAI on LinkedIn with ~*hot takes*~ about how “humans are suuuuuper important and backbone of the AI arms race” and that any B2B SaaS corporation worth their salt should match that salary 🫠

Americans are going to have to learn that choices matter in a way that they haven't had to learn in a long time. They've been insulated from bad choices for decades but that is coming to an end.

Thank you for the confirmation!!! I’m already getting spoiler clips on TikTok so I wanna commit to the whole 4-hour video on its own :3

Anybody know if I need to watch last year’s Defunctland animatronic video in order to understand any context of the most recent upload 👀?

Graphic design edit of Microplastics cat sticker glossy vinyl - 3x2.75 inch measurement, with a cropped photo of the sticker design and sticker overlays of $3.00 price tag and WOW!

Two-image collage of our cat Wicked in a before and after style. On the left, Wicked is wearing a cone and bandage gauze with tears graphic design added in to emphasize sadness. On the right, our cat Wicked is happy and healthy, posing next to his sticker design for size comparison. Graphic design text in the middle says “ Sticker sales will fund our cat’s vet bills”

Hey everyone! So back in June, our cat Wicked needed an emergency surgery in order to remove a plastic toy piece he swallowed.

As a funny tribute, we created this sticker design with all the sales going towards paying off the $$$ vet bill!

It rocks that all 20 people who genuinely think the Olivia Nuzzi stuff is interesting have editorial discretion at major media outlets. Just publish your group chats

Unacceptable. There are 189,000 people in my district who will be paying 50–300% more for the same, and in many cases worse, healthcare.

I won’t do that to the people I represent. I’m a NO on this “deal.”

I made the mistake of reading the comments of a news article pointing out that SNAP benefits are running out Nov. 1st due to gov't shutdown, and all these boomer takes on punishing "welfare queens" while bragging about working 3 full-time jobs pissed me off. Like what's not clicking to yall?!?!

Screenshot of Indeed job application question and answer box. Question portion reads: In 150 characters or fewer, tell us what makes you unique. Try to be creative and say something that will catch our eye! Typed answer box reads: I must always remain silly and whimsical, despite the horrors that persist and the despair that never seems to end.

...to be fair, it DOES say to answer with "something that will catch our eye!" for this application.

Anyway, happy(???) belated anniversary to losing my full-time job last fall and being nowhere CLOSE to landing interviews in this crappy 2025 job market...

I am not actually sure these corporations, or institutions writ large, are in fact thinking about the regime or its future. They're making short term deals that benefit them, either because they want to do mergers, or purge their own troublemakers. These people are quarterly thinkers with no vision.

For women, the increase of AI use in the workplace may affect their careers: Harvard study Women are using AI significantly less then men and it’s going to have a major impact on their careers, according to extensive research on the topic.

Every. Single. Story. about women not using AI as much as men portray it as bad for their future career prospects (without a shred of evidence) and a result of women being fearful little ladies rather than looking at AI's output and saying "this sucks, it's not going to help me."

STOP USING AI

it doesn't help your art, it doesn't help your writing. It's garbage and it's ALREADY ABOUT TO KILL PEOPLE.

Can we nip this "Alligator Alcatraz" shit in the bud? We don't need to adopt their cutesy marketing when talking about the concentration camp in the Florida Everglades

As I enter my 9th month of unemployment(!!), it's demoralizing how much I've been thinking about abandoning my integrity so that I can bypass some abstract algorithm. Maybe a hiring manager that's a REAL human will recognize my worth without me having to sacrifice my core ethics (2/2).

I've had this dilemma re: "Am I not getting hired because I'm not using genAI?" question, because I make the effort to humanize my responses on questionnaires, cover letters, etc., yet I always get auto-rejected after submitting a job application—by some robotic ATS software, nonetheless (1/2).

Our cat Wicked was rushed to the vet because he has a foreign object in his digestive track all week, and needed urgent surgery 😿🐈🩻.

Y’all don’t have to do this but if you wanna help out with upcoming vet bills, I’d love you fur-ever 🥺🙏💕! Anything helps!!

"Learn to Code" Backfires Spectacularly as Comp-Sci Majors Suddenly Have Sky-High Unemployment It looks like the "learn to code" push is backfiring spectacularly for those who majored in computer science in college.

Wow no one could have predicted this.

I’m sure AI will fix all this up.

Someone else said something very similar to this the other day, but.

It really burns me that our (millennials') generation was legally terrorized for like, downloading Radiohead discographies

But we're supposed to be ok with billionaires stealing human intellectual output in its entirety bc AI
