Corporate-provided AI “counselling” for stressed employees is the soothing pastoral scenes painted on the walls of the abattoir.

They could have kept the acronym and called it the Department of Dominance

The people who believe in keeping their wealth in imaginary computer money also being into vibe-coding is the most hilarious possible outcome. It’s an inexhaustible cavalcade of clownfuckery.

Sometimes to white people as well (who are, of course, not Japanese, but OK as far as barbarians go). Chinese/Koreans (including Japanese-born, Japanese-speaking descendants of Korean migrants who are nonetheless not racially Japanese) are regarded with disdain, and Africans are often seen as borderline subhuman. (Not by all Japanese people, but these attitudes are common and people will admit to them in a way that few will in the USA/Europe.)

2. It’s about breaking the power of tech workers by reducing them from highly skilled specialists to interchangeable low-status workers whose job is to clean up botshit until it compiles. (Given that the machine does the real work and they’re just tidying up the output it generates when prompted, they naturally don’t merit high wages or indulgent perks, even if getting 30,000 lines of code regurgitated from the mashed-up contents of Github and Stack Overflow working is more cognitively tasking than writing that code from scratch would have been.)

Given that they gave it to Kissinger in the 70s, and then gave it to Obama before he actually did anything just for not being George W. Bush, the precedent would be that Nobels may be dispensed wherever politically expedient.

On the face of it, this falls foul of numerous anti-bribery laws and regulations of the sort employees of companies such as Apple are required to do tests on annually. (If you ever so much as worked as a mail clerk at a large company, you will have clicked through multiple-choice tests driving home that, should you somehow find yourself in a position of trading a bottle of champagne or some Superbowl tickets for a multi-million-dollar contract in some exotic foreign land, that sort of thing is absolutely not on, and will cost you your job if not federal prison time.)

On the other hand, those rules were drafted back when America saw itself as qualitatively above the sordid corruption that less fortunate nations were mired in. Those days are as far gone as the drag clubs of Weimar Berlin.

Hey, if you don’t have traumatic brain injury, what are you doing on Lemmy?
