Ran out of time, couldn't finish. Can't wait to quit this shit. @UberEats

Uber app just screwed me out of an hour of time due to a bug. Then, it completely lied about the nature of my next job.

@Uber_Australia @Uber_Support is the 2025/26 financial year Tax Summary expected to be available in the coming days?

@Uber I was taken offline after 4 hours because of the 28 day limit. Why was I allowed to go online at all today? I'm blocked for 24 hours & I will not have enough time to complete the quest as a direct result. WTF? I am managing my own fatigue - this is unfair.

Hey cool my workstation arrived.
It's smashed up. Because of course it is.

@CurtisForrester @atmoio I used emdashes before LLMs were a thing. For me the biggest giveaway is that the writing sounds like someone weighing in on an argument on Reddit. Always gotta appeal to authority or authoritive tone.

It's implied that in the case of GI3 that his online persona was part of playing Bad Cop so that others could play Good Cop. https://t.co/v8NMqHaOAs
While a very practical approach (though many disagree) I wonder if it needs to be redoubled.

Obviously there was George Irvine was known for saying "I told you so" and promoting DIR, but who else who is notable could join such a list? Even aside from DIR who else has been ringing alarm bells?
Any suggestions?

I've spent weeks trying to get the workstation I purchased. Still don't have it. Still isn't on it's way. Immediately stepped in at first issue to take control. Still failed by everyone in the process. I really try to not be pessimistic as to not tempt fate. Faith doesn't pay.

The major LLM provider crawlers have been through my latest blog post.

@Jaytel Oh dear. The crossdressers will go broke paying for tokens.

If you scream into the void will #AI hear it?

Decided to go ahead and revamp my profile site. More to come - but I have a blog again. https://t.co/n1s4njkfm5

@kaolti A pyramid is OK, but a spinning rat would be better.

[Daniel Devine @DDevine_au]

#Uber keeps raising minimum number of trips for the 4-day promotion to the point where it's not really possible. Is it any surprise that you would then go do #DoorDash instead?

[Daniel Devine @DDevine_au]

@karthikponna19 There were always docs... But rip Stack Overflow.

[Daniel Devine @DDevine_au]

I rag on #uber pretty often but credit where it's due they did hand hold me through the problem when they had no obligation to. The delay was out of my control, but they still helped. Jay (presumably) from Sydney office was nice.

[Daniel Devine @DDevine_au]

So I got a notification from @uber saying that I've worked too many days in a row and must stop because of fatigue. On the same day, they gave me a 95-150 trip quest to complete in 4 days. Make that make sense!

[Daniel Devine @DDevine_au]

@mjovanc Problem and solution. First define the problem clearly, then assess the qualities of the possible solutions. Anything less than that is likely forking out $$$ for someone's vanity.
