I keep seeing a job post looking for people with strong mathematical ability to help train an AI.
I don't know what the AI will do with that training, but I guess that the goal is to train an AI to tutor math.
Is this an ethical thing for me to do?

Elon Musk grew up in apartheid South Africa, and clearly wants the US to be like that.
Also USAID contributed significantly to the ending of apartheid.
So, there's that.

Did you know that 30% of women will contract cancer? I didn't.
Did you know alcohol is the largest contributor to avoidable cancers? I didn't.
I don't believe that alcohol was a factor for me, personally, but I wanted to share this information.

On the one hand, I love stuff like this, because it pisses off 45.
OTOH, I am *terrified* of anything that "normalizes" anyone thinking of Musk as having *any* legal or official power. He's a foreign national who could never be president.

I'd like to boost Steve Hofstetter. He's a very funny comedian, does great political/social comedy. He also handles hecklers perfectly.
He's touring right now. Abq in May. But lots of other places, and a few Zoom shows.

When my agency signed Kanye last year, I left.
Feeling extra good about that decision today.

This cannot possibly be overstated.
I cannot count the number of people who assumed that being skilled at writing some code would mean that they should be able to do *anything*.
And their code was universally trash.

The people who think they are good at everything because they are good at coding are also bad at coding.

Suggestion to Americans: If you used a current bank account with funds on a recent tax return, it may be wise to contact your bank and request a change. Account and routing numbers are accessible, and Elon Musk’s staff have access to this information. Stay safe and protect your assets.

People keep asking how this coup is happening.
Who would stop it? The FBI. Their job is intelligence and security service of the US.
The acting director has had his job for 14 days, and agents are packing their desks instead of investigating or STOPPING this coup.
Great. Mulder? Scully?

Today I am reminded of when I was about seven or eight, and I wanted to express that I was VERY hungry. I comingled the words "ravening" and "famished", and I announced, "I'm RAVISHING!"

If you call your senators, include your full name and your zip code (to identify yourself as a constituent). Ask them why they are giving up their power.

A Board Supervisor of a town near me posted herself "jokingly" making a nazi salute on tiktok. Her town's voicemail was filled, and their email was inundated, and their FB was covered in comments, and today (two days later), she has resigned. She has also resigned from the library board.

I'd like to boost this person. She offers videos on how to repair your appliances. Recently, she pointed out that, in the coming years, you might not want to let an appliance repair person into your home, so this knowledge can contribute to your safety

I had to block a friend's phone number today. I simply cannot tolerate being yelled at. It's not my fault that he's having a fight with a family member, and I'm no one's punching bag (verbal or otherwise).
From now until the indefinite future, all my fights will be with my health insurance co.

Pence shook hands with Trump at Carter's funeral today.
I do not understand how someone can love the boot as much as Pence does.
It is so foreign to me that he might as well be a space alien.

I've spent the last three days in a mounting rage, which has resulted in over 15 hours of phone calls, emails, chats, and note taking.
Now, I have run out of steam. My brain feels like static.
TLDR: I have cancer, and my health insurance was silently terminated

I got contacted by a recruiter today about a job at United Healthcare.
I mean.. no.. I didn't. He misspoke. Different company altogether.
But now I have to think about whether I would accept a job at United Healthcare at any price. Would I be able to improve the situation? Or is it just wrong?
