The manager noted such an effort would help “connect” warehouse and corporate teams.

Are they trying to build support among the white-collars for unionization of the blue? I can't think of a better way to boost union support among the white-collars. I hope they get the full experience of having to piss into bottles because break times are too short.

Only 75 out of 287,000 layoffs this year attributed to AI replacement, yet further down, IBM alone has replaced "hundreds" of HR employees with AI. Which is it?

Absolute trash article. Any vague gesture in the direction of a fact is poorly defined with no sources. This should only increase skepticism towards AI replacing writers and journalists.

But one shouldn't have to.

So an applicant with dangerous people in their life, maybe an abusive family member or a stalker ex, is forced to expose their accounts they would otherwise keep private. That's the first bad-case scenario that comes to mind, I'm sure there are more.

I propose a new rule - if so for me, then so for thee. Anything imposed on legal applicants is also imposed on the lawmakers who put it in place.

I only vacation in countries that have trained their LLMs to use line breaks.

Use of the terms "warfighter" or "warfighting" is one of the biggest red flags in my life due to the industry I'm in. Big cringe. Might as well just say "I wanna make the world more White and Christian. I'm not in the military but love tacticool fashion. 'Murrica."

Tech companies do t want us to have friend or family connections. Sad and lonely people buy more stuff.

Don't forget problems with everything around AI too. Like in the US, the Big Beautiful Bill (🤮) attempts to ban states from enforcing AI laws for ten years.

And even more broadly what happens to the people who do lose jobs to AI? Safety nets are being actively burned down. Just saying "people are scared of new tech" ignores that AI will lead to a shift that we are not prepared for and people will suffer from it. It's way bigger than a handful of new tech tools in a vacuum.

This feels a bit like PTA-driven panic about kids eating Tide Pods when like one person did it. Or razor blades in Halloween candy. Or kids making toilet hooch with their juice boxes. Or the choking game sweeping playgrounds.

But also, man on internet with no sense of mental health ... sounds almost feasible.

I have kept half an eye open for updated workarounds since the Feb 25 change and haven't heard of any.

In my personal framework, once I've bought a copy and supported the artist, it doesn't weigh on me to acquire a copy elsewhere. YMMV.

I'm choosing to buy from Not-Amazon going forward. All the major alternatives I've looked into similarly lock the content to their readers and apps (based on agreement they have with author), but unlike Amazon, they state it clearly up front and aren't changing access retroactively.

Shoutout to bookshop.org for being crystal clear in product descriptions when an ebook is DRM-free.

I don't because I don't have the necessary depth of skill.

But I don't say I "blindly" trust anyone who says they're FOSS. I read reviews, I do what I can to understand who is behind the project. I try to use software (FOSS or otherwise) in a way that minimizes impact to my system as a whole if something goes south. While I can't audit code meaningfully, I can setup unique credentials for everything and use good network management practices and other things to create firebreaks.

Is that really the message you got? It's worded differently than what I see in mine.

 

Inspired by a post since deleted, I feel bad for probably coming off judgemental about the poster's taste in the movie that drove him to consider sailing.

The earliest desired media I can remember that drove me to figure out sailing was DC Talk, a Christian rock band. Pop music was not allowed in my house, so a Christian group was tantalizing and scandalous to a rebellious, young Vanth. Things escalated from there.
