“I don’t want to live in a world where my company isn’t the one company making the world better”

I guess you could say customer service but then again, it’s not really replacing that so much as adding another barrier.

I might be making fun of the product but I am serious about how it is being used.

Democratic donors be like: “we can run anyone and they can’t say no!”

TPS reports, documents that justify your job, and anything that pads your OKR metrics. Being judged on code quality via code comments? Have AI up that word count. Need more engagement on your marketing campaign? Use AI to make a mythical tai chi master to hawk your product.

The one’s where output quality doesn’t matter, so basically it is good at the bullshit parts of the job.

I’ve got bad news: the oligarchs run the blue states as well. California gave us Palantir and X. Peter Thiel advocates for this exact same thing for fuck sake.

That is all true and yet we still need to offer better options than a civil war.

How exactly was it brilliant of him to say Mamdani can call him a fascist?

Most people are living paycheck to paycheck… But if you mean owning stock or a retirement portfolio makes you a capitalist then I think that is still incorrect. People who actually own the company of whose stock you “own” can make decisions that will ultimately decimate your retirement savings while enriching themselves.

Pretty sure his name will be blacked out because of national security reasons. It’s the DOJ that’s delivering the files

The best time to organize your community is before the occupiers show up. The second best time is during the occupation itself.

First the pope throws a rave, now this 🤦

If you’re in the USA: why aren’t you? If you’re not in the USA: we don’t want the National guard to be sent in

Apply this logic to the hospitality industry, where Trump famously got his start. Your hotel hosts dignitaries around the world. If you find out one of your guests invited prostitutes or did drugs you could have leverage over some very powerful people. If there is sewage surveillance, you will see it at the hotels first.

I am seeing ads where businesses will try to influence AI to recommend your brand. I don’t know if they actually work but it strikes me as everything we hate about SEO but shoved into every facet and interface that a capitalist owns.

Let’s think that through. For that to work we only want the bot to respond to toxic AI slop, not authentic humans trying to engage with other humans. If you have an accurate AI slop detector you could integrate that into existing moderation workflows instead of having a bot fake a response to such mendacity. Edit: But there could be value in siloing such accounts and feeding them poisoned training data… That could be a fun mod tool

You don’t fight bullshit with more bullshit. The problem is people passing bots off as an authentic human response. Doing more of that with a different ideological slant doesn’t make things more alive, just dead with different aesthetics.

Yes, because he repented! He didn’t defend those who thought they did nothing wrong. Jesus and the Bible is pretty clear that Jesus won’t defend you unless you’re actually sorry. He is the friend that calls you out on your shit, to your face in front of your peers to the point that you either run away or admit your mistake. What would you call that if not shunning?

Tough shit,. It is our responsibility to protect people, not to fix every broken man. Even Jesus flipped tables and ran out the money collectors from his house.
