side point but the idea that if you make a human grade robot intellect it will do whatever you say without protest seems underexamined
Even if you were willing to buy that an LLM/Gen AI tool has human-like intellect, you’re still left with the fact that an LLM doesn’t NEED a job to remain alive under capitalism, but a human does.
morality-wise, surely many would agree that humans should thus be given priority for jobs due to need

I gave that goob from Slate a raft of shit and it went viral way back when, but Bluesky *is* kind of a bummer these days.
We DO need a little levity and joy now and then, versus the constant kvetching. Maybe asking for 1 meme for every political/doom post isn’t asking a lot?

I don’t care what anyone says, Daniel Craig was the best James Bond. Immensely complex, tortured from within, but he actually loved people deeply. A true, human character.

After working in Republican oppo the wildest thing is watching Bluesky liberals fall for obvious oppo. There will never be any gains from our cutting off our noses to spite our faces. People make mistakes, they have imperfect lives, and your decisions have never been 100% pure I guarantee that shit.

For months we followed what happened when a company forced AI into the world of craft beer. Legal threats, people quitting, and beer judges in revolt over being told to use AI.

What Happened When AI Came for Craft Beer
A prominent beer competition introduced an AI-judging tool without warning. The judges and some members of the wider brewing industry were pissed.

✨ I just published a brand-new blog post about a modern CSS feature!
But, honestly, I’m still on the fence about it. 😅
In this post, I’ll dig into the gnarly issue I ran into, and share three possible workarounds. Along the way, you’ll learn a bunch about the CSS cascade and specificity!

Just a heads up. I was able to schedule my COVID vaccine appointment. Online it will ask “do you have a condition that puts you at high risk for severe outcomes from COVID-19 virus.”
Click yes and it will allow you to schedule an appointment.
No questions asked.
No proof required.
Pass it on.
