There is a direct correlation between how fake your job is and how much value you see in AI
A study by Dayforce shows 87% of executives use AI for work, compared to 57% of managers and just 27% of employees.
I think this explains the massive disconnect we see in how CEOs talk about AI versus everyone else. It also raises the question of how useful it truly is for frontline work?

Execs are embracing AI more than their employees are, new research suggests
Research from HR software company Dayforce suggests that executives are leaning into AI far more than their employees.

Sandwich Guy appears to have more decency in his fingertip than the entirety of the Trump administration.
Sean Dunn, aka DC Sandwich Guy, speaks outside court after his not guilty verdict:
“I am so happy that justice prevails in spite of everything….
“That night I believe I was protecting the rights of immigrants…
Every life matters, no matter where you came from, no matter how you got here…”

All day, many of you have been asking for a Cheney obituary from me. Get ready:
His Works Completed, Dick Cheney, Mass Murderer of Iraqis and American Democracy, Dies
As much as the Trumpists claim to disavow the War on Terror, they walk a path paved by the most powerful vice president in U.S. history.

We’ve reached a point in history similar to that moment in the movie Clue—long after they screamed their heads off each time a new dead body was found—when the group silently walks from one corpse to the next, pausing briefly at each before moving on, like zombie robots in collective resignation.

This is how I feel every minute. Then I have to go to work. Then I cannot fucking believe this is happening in our lifetimes. Then I go to the grocery.
I cannot believe this is happening. I fucking cannot believe we are living this nightmare.

By the way, every legit college has an institutional research page that anyone can access, showing all sorts of data about the institution. These sites are great ways to confirm the duplicity of so many conservative critics.
