Unbelievable, this world we’re careening for.

Your FACE characteristics can suggest job success odds? FUCK AI.
Researchers are now saying that AI can find correlations between facial characteristics and success on the job.

The Economist says that corporations would have a “strong incentive” to deploy this technology when looking at applicants.

“‘The Epstein affair brings to light a much larger problem,’ [Naomi] Oreskes wrote [in 2020]. ‘It undermines the integrity of the research enterprise when individuals can pick and choose lines of inquiry that appeal to them simply because they can pay for them.’”

The Democrats Must Be Purged Of Their Centrists

The only way for the majority to achieve much-needed reform and progress is to cull the Democratic Party and establishment institutions of centrists who are now complicit with the MAGA agenda.

had another wonderful chat with my friend @bencollins.bsky.social (a.k.a Tim Onion) about The Onion's wonderfully absurd and truly hilarious 20 minute mockumentary, Jeffrey Epstein: Bad Pedophile (google the title at your own risk!)

The Onion Wants an Oscar for 'Jeffrey Epstein: Bad Pedophile'—Coming to a Theater Near You
And Onion CEO Ben Collins knows just how to sell this 20-minute mockumentary to the Academy: “Do you like pedophiles? I don’t think you do. You know what you could do to prove it?”

The Emoji Menace: How a Single Smiley Face Can Execute Malicious PowerShell
Introduction: A novel proof-of-concept technique is leveraging Unicode's vast emoji library to encode and obfuscate malicious PowerShell scripts. This method allows attackers to bypass traditional content filters that fail to parse non-standard characters, transforming a string of innocent-looking emojis into a fully functional, and potentially harmful, script upon execution. Learning Objectives: Understand the mechanics of emoji-based encoding for command obfuscation.

The entire global economy is currently so over-leveraged on "AI" that if we don't find a credible use case for it, and fast, we're likely to tumble into an economic meltdown of 2008 proportions, so please, your corporate overlords beg you, use "AI" to write that fucking email
Have we ever seen a technology go from zero to "your boss is aggressively demanding you use it every day" quite as quickly as modern "AI" tools?

(This is a genuine question).
It's pretty much mandatory at work that I appear to be using it, so I've doe a few functional things with it, and it's a moderate time-saver if used right. But nowhere near worth it's stock value, energy cost.

Then I realize there's a lot of people who simply can't write coherent paragraphs.
