@pookleblinky.bsky.social I wonder if if came from a 55 gallon drum...

it's so deranged how rich business owners have demanded for decades that they be called "job creators" despite the fact that every single person i know has experienced a rich guy buying out an existing business and firing everyone and usually completely bankrupting it before cashing out and leaving

The CEO of a a multi-trillion dollar company went to the White House, openly handed the US president a gift made of gold, and his company got a special exemption to tariffs the president has illegally imposed.

Also, the Founders took bribery so seriously the Constitution bans it 3 separate times.

All the arguments against nonspecific automation are so blatantly obvious to anyone who spends five minutes actually thinking about the physical world rather than the stock market. These assholes just want slavery; that's all this is, it's plain to see, and everybody should call them on it.

The next part of the plan to steal the midterms and/or the 2028 election - an attempt to do a mid-decade census to take seats and electoral votes away from blue states. I knew this was coming.

When an autistic human shares their life and thoughts with you, it’s because they like you, feel safe with you, trust you.

If you use that opportunity to make them feel small, refer to them as self-centered, or reject them, you really don’t know the first thing.

Generative AI by definition is conformity. It is an averaging of anything you ask of it - quite literally guessing what the most likely version of a thing might be. It is, by definition, mainstream, as is everything it creates old and deeply ideological, as every model trains on similar data.

We’ve discovered a literal miracle with almost unlimited potential and it’s being scrapped for *no reason whatsoever*. This isn’t even nihilism, it’s outright worship of death and human suffering.

The rich must be incentivised; the poor must be disciplined.

The political economy of the super-elite in one headline.

It's funny that literally the only use case zuckerberg can imagine for technology is "I get to surveil you 24/7 inside the panopticon I own"

Like he can't even be arsed to detail the benefit to anyone other than him.

Ohio is such a backwards place, and keeps regressing. I hope my former home state decides to bring in real leadership for the people at some point.

Elon Musk is a symbol of American collapse in many ways, but one of the big ones is how for years he has constantly engaged in multi-billion-dollar securities and consumer fraud, and the "consequence" has been him making billions more, including from the federal government paying him directly.

I always love seeing you as a player. Hope you have a blast!

The man who had his doctor report that he’s 6’3”, 238 lbs fired the person in charge of reporting labor statistics.

Co-conspirator in the biggest sex-trafficking and child rape operation in US history gets secretly moved, by the President of the United States, to a low-level security prison only 3 yrs into her 20 yr sentence.

In any other democratic country that would be the headline.

It's going to be very important to watch release notes for future jobs reports very carefully to look for changes to weighting procedures, design effects, question wording and order, and so on. If they cook the books, they're not just going to make up a topline, they're going to tweak the process

So he's admitted he visited 28 times.

Mother, mother I crave snuggles

Devs generally suck at estimation, and many are easily distracted by the latest thing. It's becoming clear that there are some use cases where "AI" can be useful, but by and far takes just as much if not more time to clean up after.

As someone who has done extensive software development, has trained many developers, and done consulting for Fortune 100s on how to organize development, it does not surprise me in the slightest that folks are bad at estimating productivity gains from new tools or systems.

More than half the people in the U.S. don't want to have better lives- they just want the other team to suffer.

If he actually tries to fire Powell, look out below on the markets.

I hope Putin releases some really nasty kompromat in retaliation.

That's a good creature

Most Americans really have no clue how far the US is being left behind.
