yeah I was like whoa Julia that's kinda intense for a silly dream

yeah Segura's weird in that he actually has some good bits but he's recently become more of an asshole and seems to have lost the spark? not really sure what's happening there'

pretty much everybody else in that crowd absolutely sucks though

This observation remains undefeated
if i've learned one thing from doing union stuff while also doing other forms of organizing, it's that you're better off with people you disagree with who are nevertheless trying to do the same thing as you than with people you agree with who aren't trying to do anything

It's also extremely bad for older Americans who don't understand tech and/or are experiencing some form of cognitive decline! My mom doesn't understand any of this shit and it scares her! Now she's given up on tracking current events entirely!

wait Richard K Morgan is a TERF? hmmmm.

yeah that's somehow very surprising and not at all surprising. somehow half of the science fiction community winds up being really regressive. there's probably an essay there on the comfort of their preferred future and the reality of the current one.

So we're stuck in a downward spiral where we're chasing our tail, ChatGPT tells my boss that we're not chasing our tail and/or that chasing your tail is good, and every month someone tries to point this out and gets yelled at on the team call.

AI empowers the worst people to write more emails and create more Excel sheets and, ultimately, take up more of everyone else's time.

We've lost about a year's progress at work trying to implement it.

Yeah working on it. Been thinking about that conversation a lot lately.

Definitely appreciate it.

Yep. Just the other month my boss was bragging about how he used to need PhD's to do this kind of work. Meanwhile the PhD's on the team are like uhhhhh what.

It's a digital Wormtongue that confirms the narcissistic priors of nearly every CEO everywhere while offering nothing more than homogenized slop blended from other people's labor.

It's a median take machine. It'll never have real insights.
