 The crisp “even an executive can understand it” version of the OP is: ⚠️ AI increases labor costs ⚠️ (“Why?” “Because it’s labor-intensive to clean up its messes.”) I said “the purpose of a whole lot of software processes is to make large-scale failure look like a string of small successes.” Huh? What does that look like?? It looks like this: ✅ Meetings held   Rare example of spoken #keming: In the Dutch quiz show 'Met het Mes op Tafel', the presenter Herman van der Zandt asked a question about the Shakespeare character 'Guildenstem'. It is 'Guildenstern'. Guess they should have picked a different font for the cards with the questions.  For reference, the spoken #keming appeared in the episode that aired on 19 December 2023 around 24:30. https://npo.nl/start/serie/met-het-mes-op-tafel_1/seizoen-19/met-het-mes-op-tafel_778/afspelen Tax System Turbocharging Wealth Inequality in Australia https://australiainstitute.org.au/post/tax-system-turbocharging-wealth-inequality-in-australia/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tax-system-turbocharging-wealth-inequality-in-australia #Auspol Freelancers at Guardian Australia have been trying for THREE YEARS to get them to negotiate an agreement with us. For such a “progressive” publication, they are weirdly quiet about supporting gig workers when they are the ones in charge! Today we are holding a social media day of action, inviting Guardian Australia to step up and stand by their self-professed values. Please share our posts and support us if you can, and let’s embarrass the shit out of them. A black swan event is something you think is rare but happens all the time in Perth, Western Australia. @abstractcode I introduced my children to black swans when we were last in Perth. I also told them they are related to #honeybadgers #polarbears and #tasmaniandevils. Evil b$stards.

  @Haste I really like the blog post. I also quit Twitter and Reddit for the aforementioned reasons but I'm still tied to Facebook and YouTube. Working on changing that though. I'm working on creating decentralized alternatives for everything and maybe create a coherent experience for people who don't want to set it all up themselves. Thinking of creating a sort of artist collective maybe but some of the platforms don't have great alternatives (Twitch, Spotify). And there have been problems here.

@HeavenlyPossum OK, but haven't you just shifted the Darwinian argument to States vs non-states? We watched the #openingceremony and want to remind the world that France has made composting mandatory. If we can compost on the scale of a country, we can fix the landfills and limit the greenhouse gasses that they generate. That is how we can start working for the #climate and invest for the future. |
@davidgerard Of course firat fucking thing thry did was use Ai to just brute forcr through jacking up profits. Not making workers work easier and more efficient or some crazy shit like that...
