MAGA: “Just comply with ICE and the shock gloves won’t hurt you”.

You can’t comply with thugs.

They give contradictory orders on purpose.

“You f*cking move I’ll f*cking tase you! Get out of the f*cking car right now!”

These gloves will kill people.

Nearly $270,000 over a 35-year career.

That’s how much more the typical worker could earn if union membership tripled to 30%, according to new EPI research.

Heidi Shierholz argues that rebuilding union power is an affordability policy.

The two ended floppy disk, the oven mitt penguin feet, the weird disappearing-row keyboard, computer that’s half bookshelf, the drive slots for media that don’t exist, there’s so much to love here.

Debian is polling its developers on whether to permit or ban "AI" contributions.

I'm now funemployed!

Employer did yet another round of layoffs. Should get a few months of severance, at least, including paid-up health insurance. (Although I haven't yet reviewed the actual terms, which could of course contain something nasty.)

Actually feeling pretty good. It was pretty clear this was going to happen sooner or later, and it's nice to have some free time. Tech job market is looking up as well.

It was good to get a little time with @manchicken . I gotta make one if these hats! #hope26

Actual effects include perpetual low-grade depression, and a permanent palm mark on your face.

Speaking as someone who already has access to personal superintelligence, I can assure Mr. Zuckerberg that it has no effect on one's material conditions.

If you care about a livable future for humanity on this planet, don’t use AI. Just don’t. Not for shopping, condensing literature to shortcut reading or for writing your homework, not for anything so trivial. The small amount of special use cases is enough.

I’ve got very little patience for software engineering “professionals” coming into this thread to pretend that LLMs are good at finding bugs, as if we’re not in the same profession and I haven’t been forced to use the fucking things

all research not funded directly by AI corporations shows they’re fucking terrible at finding bugs and introduce many more than they fix, and that’s in line with personal experience

the machine will constantly gaslight you into thinking your code is riddled with bugs and it’s fixing them, and by pure luck it might even be right! you’re very likely to remember the times it’s right more than the times it absolutely fucks it

it also really, really wants your code to be a formless blob, and the thing’s output will get hilariously manipulative if you push back on it at all, as you would with a person reviewing your code. and people using an LLM to review your code will get real shitty with you too, cause the machine said you’re wrong.

@mcv @mhpotter Effective Altruism was initiated by Eliezer Yudkowsky. That "field" is burned. You do not enter the playing field and position yourself as the good ones in that field.

It's like saying, well, Hitler did a lot of harm to the idea of Nazism, but I can turn the ship around and be one of the "good Nazis" steering the Nazi ideology into a proper direction.

I am now willing to describe the Linux Foundation as "a force for evil in the world"

"you'll never need to look at source code again" is what someone says as a prelude to making the source code entirely untrustworthy

It's actually Woke √-1.0, since everything the shitheads are complaining about is imaginary. Cops are still pigs on overtime. What changed? Louie CK had to stop cranking it for a minute?

Things Trump has done that military families didnt feel was disqualifying:

Started a coup
Convicted of rape
Prolific in the #EpsteinFiles
Held Epstein Files back illegally
Stole classified docs
Kidnapped a president
Built concentration camps
#ICE killing citizens
Protecting ICE to kill more citizens
Deporting people to third world countries
Forcing children to defend themselves in court
....

In my opinion its a waste of time and effort wondering such things
