I work from home. The systemic incompetence of this multinational fortune 500 company means I can do a lot of reading and no one seems to notice.
Of course, management is planning to fire a lot of people, including me, to pivot to AI.

Zitron’s point that management are stupid is really important. They don’t know what they’re talking about. They don’t do any work!
You laugh, but this is genuinely how the majority of managers and executives think and act, and now they have a special chatbot that can fart out functional-enough prototypes to convince a Business Idiot they can do anything, because executives and managers do not regularly do much work. As a result, they have little idea what work looks like other than when they look over your shoulder, which is why they wanted you back in the office, and their distance from production is why the same people who were anti-remote work are now aggressively trying to shove AI down your throat.
We are ruled by the worst fucking people.


Good. Fuck amazon. Fine them harder.
I never see characters in games as “me”. I try to make someone hot or wacky. Often that’s a buff lady. Sometimes it’s “the biggest beard and hair I can get”.


We really should stop letting companies buy each other. In fact we should split the big ones up.


I will unilaterally decide.
First off, conservatives aren’t allowed to speak anymore.
That… that might be it. I might be done. Now everyone else can get to work building a better world.


He’s lying. Or bullshitting. Whatever you call it when people say shit without any regard for the truth. Typical conservative slop.
People don’t think too good when they’re emotional, so this would be very effective.


I don’t understand how so many people played final fantasy 7 and the only lesson they seemed to take from the story is “tifa got big titties”


It’s not corporate owned. No profit motive to turn things to shit.
Don’t blame the tool, blame the user 😁
I compare it to snapshot tests a lot. They’re similarly constrained by “good if used wisely” but most people don’t do that. It’s easier to use them extensively. That’s just how people are. They do the easy thing


Paying more money for better results doesn’t fit into the world view of many business decision makers.


How do you feel about people who refuse to use ride-share like Uber because it’s exploiting labor? I don’t want to give them any money because fuck them, but some of my friends say the drivers need money so refusing to use it is only hurting them.


If I could get hired someplace else, I would go.
Sadly, everywhere either isn’t hiring or is frothing at the mouth over AI.


Software job.
Good: this place is so dysfunctional I can fuck off most of the day.
Bad: the place is extremely dysfunctional. Pays crap. No benefits.
Well, yeah, AI is mostly garbage. Fuck it. Fuck the people pushing it.


Most of the people I know who live here don’t have rich parents. But I’ve definitely known people from money who move here, and go directly to an expensive apartment.
It’s a horrible policy that people stop paying social security tax at like $200k or something. That’s backwards. The first $50k or so should be untaxed, and it should ramp up from there.


This is an important point. There’s a big difference between guys with guns telling you what you can say, and a local get-together. Sometimes people act like they should be able to say whatever they want wherever they want, even if they’re like standing in someone else’s house
Read more books. Read different kinds of books. Not slop on the Internet.
This prose you’ve posted feels a bit purple and forced. I personally find all the comma separated clauses excessive, but some styles do that.
Are you still in school? Take creative writing courses. They’re fun and you get feedback from peers and the (hopefully) professional teacher.
