You could probably make it look like an accident. "I guess the LLM was having trouble reaching my account after I was deleted, so it posted everything to pastebin so I could see it there"

Still risky and a funnier fantasy than good idea.

You didn't make an argument for why the separate glyphs are needed. You didn't refute what I said. You just self-pleasured yourself here for everyone to see. What a disappointment you are.

The CEO at my previous job laid off almost everyone. They were thinking of re-hiring people, but he didn't want to rehire me because I "ask too many questions about requirements". Like, I made him feel bad by asking him to actually flesh out his brain-leavings. He loves AI.

I'm not sure modern typography needs separate glyphs for vertically centered horizontal lines. - is sufficient.

That said, the average idiot isn't going to know how to type one. If someone who's otherwise a dullard pops it out, it's a sign they didn't produce the content themselves.

They're stupid and selfish. We are ruled by idiots.

A lot of management don't really understand.. anything. They don't understand how real work happens. They're removed from that world. They just vibe and bullshit.

Ed Zitron has written extensively about business idiots.

Buying drm-free music works for me. It's more upfront cost, but eventually you have a big library of stuff you enjoy.

Fuck Spotify.

Just remember when you buy from bandcamp to back up the drm-free copy you get. Then if Bandcamp goes under, or the artist pulls the track, you'll still have it.

If they are using the "unvested" assets for something, like getting a loan with them as collateral, then we should treat it as if they realized the gain.

If you use stock as collateral to get s $1mm loan, that should be treated as income.

If they then sell the stock and get taxed again.... I don't think I really care.

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 don't pay them shit, but I see your point.

“I tried to find a way through this that was going to be able to have this happen non-violently,” Kim told NJ.com.

I don't think ICE is going to go away without violence.
