It's a slippery slope. We have to object to ALL AI usage to ensure it doesn't get to that point.

Don't you love how corporations can be people when it comes to bribing politicians but not when it comes to consequences for their criminal actions? Interestingly enough, the same is happening to AI...

Libs vs Leftists. Learn the difference.
On Monday, I was a liberal. On Wednesday, I became a leftist. I will not let my country slide into fascism without fighting back. I have a 73 year old mom who's married to a woman. That woman is one of the most important people in my life. I'm 51 and have known her since I was 19. If anyone comes for them, there will be bloodshed.

Tencent says it's not a Chinese military company and is willing to sue the US Department of Defense if it isn't removed from a blacklist
Every fucking Chinese company is required to be an arm of their government and provide them with any information they request. It's not even a question, they are an arm of the Chinese government. They can get fucked

TIL there is a law called Marchetti's Constant. Humans only tolerate commutes of less than ~1 hour. Housing outside that limit will fail.
I have diabetic retinopathy and about 10 years ago, I saw enough blind spots that I stopped driving. My company accommodated me by letting me work from home. We already had another employee who was doing that for vision issues, it was simple to do.
Because we were successful, they replaced our desktops with laptops at refresh time and started letting everyone work from home 1 day a week. Then when Covid hit, they just told everyone to bring their laptops home and WFH full time. The CEO talked about return-to-office for a year or two but decided to make it optional.
It's an amazing benefit. It gave me back about 90 minutes every day, and my dog doesn't have to be crated during the day. I can sleep later and have access to my own kitchen for lunch. Theres a reason that average tenure in my department is around 20 years.

White House preparing executive order to abolish the Department of Education
The summer before 9/11, I started a tech support job at an educational publisher. I'm still here as a Level 4 tech because it's a very stable, secure job. If the DoE is eliminated, I have no idea what happens to my job now or in the future, so I'm terrified. Most of the tech knowledge I had 24 years ago has been replaced with institutional knowledge that isn't transferable. Plus, I'm 51, which is a rough age to start looking for new tech jobs.
I'm so angry with my country that we've come to this.
