Right, but that’s not to protect them from AI. It’s to protect them from us, once we come to our senses.

Because the people with money know they don’t have to listen to the little people.
We don’t even need overblown fears about AI killing everyone. AI is ruining students, ruining artists, causing massive layoffs, being used to monitor and judge our behavior, and is attempting to influence our behavior. It seems there are attempts to give these glorified auto-complete programs increasing amounts of resources and authority.
This is bad for most people. And those of us born after 1980 or so have no illusions that anyone in power is going to care about the welfare of the little people. They only recognize money and power. We don’t have money, but there are many kinds of power. I hope someone recognizes the signs, and changes course before it gets bloody.

Ah, the Wicked Bible, first brought to my attention while reading Good Omens.
Can’t argue with the word of god.

That, too.

Amen. The web page will be fine.

This is an anti-gift.
I’m curious to know why they are there. They can’t have much in the way of line of sight from there.
The only thing this makes me think is “May I, please?”
We can’t tell if it’s pointlessly gendered unless wet know what the questions are about. Seems likely to be a study of some kind, and knowing how men perceive other men, for example, might be valuable data.
I’ll admit outright that I’m just not interested in most people.
But I’m terrible with names, even with the people I am interested in. I can tell you all kinds of things about a person, just not their name.
It’s kind of bizarre.


I trust they replied “lol, no.”
The show clearly makes him out to be a loose cannon, dangerous even to his allies. He caused great factionalism in the rebellion.
And he died, having accomplished very little, because he believed that victory comes from purity of purpose, rather than from working together against the enemy of all.
Actually, no. I forgot that my pay is two weeks at a time, so call it 60 hours.
I’ve occasionally considered purchases add a function of the number of hours worked to earn that money. My fast food costs an hour of work. My nifty you costs two or three hours. Rent costs 30 hours, more or less.
Sometimes it’s helpful, mostly depressing.
I don’t want purity tests because we, on the left, are incapable of reaching a consensus on much of anything. If we can’t agree to tolerate a limited amount of disagreement with each other, we can’t work together on the things we do agree on, and those things tend to be kind of important.


Indeed it is so.
Nevertheless, assholes.


If the employers are using computers to read my resume, why shouldn’t I used a computer to write it?
Assholes to the lot of them.
Depends. If the chief murdered the guy, then that’s the restaurant’s responsibility for not keeping the chef secured.
