And then, eventually realizing this, they hire consultants for $$$, who offer two things, further tips for goosing numbers in silly ways, and also just direct advice for how to treat employees like utter shit, with a sharp, stainless veneer of “smart (because $$$ spent) business strategy”.
Calm down Satan
Sick ass ninja stars?!
Thank you! In one of the author’s comments is a link to their blog post which really lays out a concise and strong set of arguments about the ethics of generative AI. Wouldn’t have seen that without your link.

I think that’s gotta be the line.
Another recommendation for GL.iNet - been running one for a year and a half or so.
Whole house VPN via Mullvad was extremely easy to configure, for instance. As well as setting up an isolated “guest” network for fussy and sus devices (AKA no VPN for that).
You’ll love it!
Eh? DisplayPort is great, non-proprietary HDMI that we should all be using instead. I use 4x DisplayPort connections at work daily.
I didn’t see this comment when the thread was active, wish you the very best though, this sounds lovely!
Knew someone would have gone and looked lol, this is exactly what I wanted to know. Gonna HAVE to dink around in that sooner or later. Maybe I’ll stumble onto god or something weirder 🤷♂️
Edit: and that’s what I get for reading approximately zero here lol, thought some lunatic had hosted all these and made them available to play with in that way somehow. Which would be a huge amount of work and several other things.
Nah, just don’t share it then, this shit is pernicious in the same way “I don’t have anything to hide, what’s the problem guyz?!” is. Just normalizes the idea that really it isn’t a problem.
Ya post plenty of content, this shit can fuckin goooo.
You’re giving Trump WAY too much credit. This is happening for the sake of profits, not Trump’s feelings, you think he gives a single shit about this? Beyond just the degree to which it does or doesn’t enrich friends and family?
Take Trump away and the same number of people fight to deregulate PFAS. But on the other hand, Trump never met a grift he didn’t like and through him all things are possible, no disagreement there.
I know about this as a phenomena, but even with already knowing, the specific comparison stories are always so wtffff…. So sorry you/y’all experience that, it’s hot trash.
Honorable mention for Howard Dean getting similar treatment and exiting the proverbial stage due to “making excited noise that sounded weird” lmao
From that to “grab em by the pussy, you can do anything” and the response being success is some wild shit.
Gatdamn lol! Had no idea. Looked up Jones super briefly, found some similarly encouraging things, e.g. taking a charge for throwing a traffic cone into an open truck window that slurs were pouring out of, lmao.
Seems like a nice fella, I’m into it.
You can always simply lie and say that you get great results when you send it huge amounts of text and really spend time to correct what it’s getting wrong over the session.
If you can make it sound like genuine advice and enthusiasm (that you’re simply wrong about), well congrats, you look like a real team player, and you cause anyone who believes you to also believe that those delicious productivity gains are just another few thousand yeeted tokens away.
Your failure to demonstrate such, should it ever come to that, can result in something like “I swear they made changes, they keep doing that silently. This used to work.” Which points to a huge and real problem, while covering thine ass.
This isn’t how I operate at work, to be clear, but I’m in a way different situation. Sooner your org realizes there is no mythic Shangri-La to be found, the better for all, I figure.
I’m 1.5 years into Bazzite now, and to be clear I end up using degrees of not-my-devices for a lot of my time on coprutor these days (so, not pushing this distro that hard over that time, in other words).
But it’s been great, also run it on a small number of super cheap second hand laptops for various things and have had really good experiences.
There’s a few caveats but overall Bazzite is accessible and robust.
Yeah nah, say this kinda stuff in person plenty, oddly enough folks get it and like it.
Throughout this exchange (that I started, no disagreement there) you keep guessing shitty things about me. I’ve never done that to you, even once, I just keep talking about the single thing you were doing that I found pernicious and bad.
Rather than talk about that, or your own decision making or what matters to you, ya just keep bringing guesses about me…to me. What is the point of that lol? I already happen to know what I’m like.
S’all good. I’m prolly blocked, sad :(
Ivy’s whip in the Soulcalibur series is pretty gnar. But that’s not really what ya mean (I assume).
