To everyone new: I am not just all about tech. I post a lot of food, photos, politics, memes, and things I find funny, ironic, or just plain stupid. I bring all of me in everything I do, including posting on this hellsite. Sorry (kinda) in advance.
Autocorrect has been confidently wrong since 2007. The only thing that changed is now we call it AI, charge $20/month for it, and then act surprised the public has zero patience for a machine that's never once apologized for "ducking."
I’m 43 now. I’ve worked 50-70 hours a week my entire adult life. I’ve lost years of time with my children and loved ones just so we could afford to live. This life is not only cruel, but unnecessarily cruel. A better world is possible.
Imagine this clown show of a scene: Some CEO, probably mid-paddle on his standing desk, feeds ChatGPT the prompt "make me sound like a caring human being while I nuke a quarter of my staff and brag about how great the business is doing." And then posts that AI slop all over social media like it is some profound wisdom he summoned from the depths of his MBA mind.
"Today we reduced headcount by 22%. The business is the strongest it's ever been."
Business is the "strongest it's ever been," huh? Cool. Cool. Tell that to the people you just yeeted into one of the most difficult job markets in decades, while the survivors get to do 10x or 100x the work so you can post about even bigger record profits.
CEOs, can you just not? We don't want your victory laps here. Your current employees are one bad quarter away from the same fate and your former ones are out there scrambling to update their resumes. Nobody is buying the fake "sincere gratitude" post that was written by a robot.
Honestly, nothing says "I'm a hollow husk of a human being" quite like outsourcing your gratitude post to a clanker while you're busy firing real people. Real touching.
And while we're busy roasting some shit: The whole "10x engineer" and "100x engineer" circlejerk phrase needs to be taken behind the woodshed and put down. That term should have died of embarrassment years ago.
Funny. I thought it was morally wrong for Elon Musk, the wealthiest man alive worth more than $800 billion, to eliminate humanitarian aid that will cause 4.5 million of the poorest kids on the planet to die in the next 4 years.
Polis: Some misunderstood the crime. Thought it had something to do with the 2020 election when the crime had zero to do with that.
Collins: You don't think had Trump not disputed the 2020 election, had Mike Lindell not become this famous figure on TV disputing the election results in 2020, that what happened in 2021 in Mesa county would have happened?
Polis: This was a clerk that certified the results. There was not an issue there.
Collins: You just think that those are totally separate? That this would have still occurred even if 2020 never happened with a major election dispute?
Polis: You'd have to have her on to talk about her motivation. Do I think that she was egged on or encouraged in her illegal acts by people like Mike Lindell, perhaps even the president of the United States? It's certainly conjecture, but it's certainly possible. I don't know how she came to hold her beliefs
Hi Dave. I am a gay kid who went to gaza. Went for 9 weeks to do humanitarian work in 2025 with a medical organization. My life was threatened by Israeli bombs. Gazans knew I was gay. You’re full of shit. Cc: @mattxiv
