whenever I see the reaction on the girls face I feel embarrassed but when I look at the guy's face ... I don't know why I can't help but laugh.

hey! I'm in Markham ... our company is trying to be AI first. We're having it set up a brand new project from scratch.

Instead of letting the devs talk about it and then using AI to build the code. They funnel the batch of tickets straight into the AI machine and we have to review the code afterwards.

It takes so long to review the code. Most devs don't like reading lots of Markdown files to get the assumptions onto a big project.

The guys pushing this seem to just negate the fact that we need to spot-check things and follows and things make sense.

They took all our PR feedback and just fed it back into AI and we have to do another gigantic PR review. It feels a bit silly.

What's the equivalent of sane-washing for billionaires?

as soon as he’s not in control, there will be fuckery

This is what I don't think a lot of people will be prepared for ...

I dread if there's gonna some useless MBA coming around afterwards and saying some shit like: "why don't we charge steam users $9.99 to play their games per month?" and start cutting projects that benefit gamers to "save money" -- who needs Proton? who needs to invest in things like couch co-op? Then give themselves a shitload of money in exchange for all the goodwill that Valve have built up over the years.

I worked at a company which did the gay pride logo switch.

I know it doesn't mean much from people but the ones who pushed changing the logos were from our LGBT employees.

I feel like I'm one of the few people that never really minded the paper straws.

The Sun Life chip bags that were super loud was funny to me though.

According to Bezos it doesn't make a difference even if they did pay more taxes!

There's something that happens to your brain when you get lots of money it seems.

Sam Bankman-Fried the disgraced crypto entrepreneur was an effective altruist with a few of his coworkers and their goal was helping people. I was reading up on them and it was initially about feeding people and earning money to give to others. When they started getting more and more money they were like: "what if there's a zombie outbreak?" Obviously, we're really smart and society needs people like us to survive so we should be spending money on private islands and having our own country to make sure we can keep humanity going or some shit. It was weird.

Despite what anything thinks about Bill Burr now ... I think he had a really good point about these "end of the world" catastrophes -- I simply don't want to be alive for any of them. I don't wanna be scrounging around the remnants of humanity with a dying ecosystem and dwindling human race.

I like it when John Oliver was talking about how shit Ivanka is and said something like, "it looks like the apple doesn't fall far from the orange"

oh thank goodness ...

I'm so tired of eating at Harvey's ... and Mary Brown's is too far!

 

MAGA Influencers are all in a chat and they all receive talking points and are paid to say things in a coordinated campaign.

They say Tucker isn't in on this ... how many of you wanna bet Rogan is though ...

 

"The Gemini-powered health coach will act as a combination fitness coach, sleep expert, and health and wellness advisor."

$10 a month feels steep to me, but there's other health plans like Whoop and stuff. Bevel is one that is device agnostic. I'm guessing this is why Google killed the Fitbit but I don't have crazy faith in Google maintaining things.

This doesn't mean LLMs aren't useful, this is just a funny example and the title is from the YT video.

 

Masculinity has become radioactive.

It’s one of the most polarizing forces in modern culture. Families fracture over it, politics feeds on it and entire online ecosystems monetize it. And no one seems to agree on what it is anymore.
