Advanced AI models suffer a near-total collapse on classic psychology test as cognitive demands increase

Simple, honest, direct language. Two syllables, worker. Almost sounds like the men themselves.

That was seventy years ago. Then a whole generation went by and the very same condition was called human resource. Four syllables now. Takes a little longer to say.

Doesn't seem to hurt as much. Human is a nicer word than worker. WORKER! Human Resource.

Then we had the financial crisis, 2008. Michael Burry was riding high by that time, and the very same condition was called labor capital. Hey, were up to five syllables now! And the humanity has been squeezed completely out of the phrase.

It's totally sterile now. Labor capital. Sounds like something that might happen to your car. Then of course, came the COVID pandemic, which has only been over for about two or three years, and thanks to the lies and deceits surrounding that pandemic, I guess it's no surprise that the very same condition was called lower value human capital.

Shoehorned that together

some kind of rationale, like maybe

Regardless of the individual rationale, they have a duty to accommodate religious beliefs.

Your example is just as bad as force feeding a vegan beef because they are anemic. Yes technically it's "better" for them, but you have every other option to deal with it that doesn't involve infringing on their rights. Don't be a lazy, criminally negligent dick.

Yeah

How dare he buy these yachts, and a shipyard, just to turn around and use it all to live on and own. Completely sick and twisted to outfit them for deep sea research and have his company provide research support completely for free.

Just terrible. He should put all this money to a charity that he has no control over and isn't beholden to him in any way.

I'm this close to sleeping my way to the top of capitalism

I let her keep thinking I am rich, and I asked for a big salary for my social media role. She is offering me more money than anyone in my village ever had, plus a percentage of the company.

I have to say, this is normal. The public image of a company used to be the responsibility of someone highly trusted who directly managed it. Now it's unknown departments, with underpaid faceless people, who aren't really responsible for anything individually and can be blamed for everything.
