Best piece of criticism I have ever received
Reposted by Gaius (from Tribunate)
This seems to be an accurate observation
There is a direct correlation between how fake your job is and how much value you see in AI
A study by Dayforce shows 87% of executives use AI for work, compared to 57% of managers and just 27% of employees.

I think this explains the massive disconnect we see in how CEOs talk about AI versus everyone else. It also raises the question of how useful it truly is for frontline work?

Cannot wait for this to get QT dunked on by a guy whose bio says: “politically homeless liberal. CTO-Flooby. Formerly: Gront, Blix, TRST”

Execs are embracing AI more than their employees are, new research suggests
Research from HR software company Dayforce suggests that executives are leaning into AI far more than their employees.

Pretty obvious that Vance has negatively polarized himself into believing that anyone who holds a single opinion contrary to his own is simply “virtue signaling” and that it couldn’t be an honestly held belief
JD Vance: "How many of you really like turkey?"

Many soldiers raise their hands.

Vance: "You're all full of shit."

Lots of talk lately about how even A-list celebrities are unable to resist the bags of money being thrown at them to do commercials but I think we can’t excuse Santa Claus from this discussion since he’s a huge cultural icon and has been doing ads for years now

Can make the argument that by coming here and committing a mass shooting they are actually fully assimilating into the American way of life
Stephen Miller is now arguing that assimilation is fundamentally impossible and that certain cultures are not compatible with Western civilization

Was going to say that you can tell which right wing rage bait accounts are based abroad by who tweets 80 times on thanksgiving but then remembered that all of the American guys who run the real accounts aren’t invited to family gatherings

Really can’t come up with a better summation of the economy than companies arguing that it isn’t illegal to break the law when you use tech
BREAKING: RealPage is suing New York, challenging a new state law that bans landlords from using algorithms to set rents.

RealPage claims that its software, which landlords have used to collude on rents, is protected by the First Amendment.

Wise investment advice from the president. Take your fake money to the casino and simply double it. Thank you sir
When the strongest argument for your policy is a list of lies (I count 7) and exaggerations (another 5), you reveal more than a wonky list of truths ever would.

Again, I cannot stand Amazon or Bezos. However, because _Strike_ comes out in paperback in 2 months, they are fire selling it in hardback for $2.84. So if you want it, you can indeed get it for the price of a cup of coffee. www.amazon.com/Strike-Labor...

imagine lecturing the creator of Florb. imagine sending a bad faith response to the creator of Scrotetto
Wow 80% bad-faith responses, and people lecturing the creator of Flask here and the creator of Django/datasette in the comments on why AI is useless for software engineering...
Is this platform still massively against AI or has it moved more towards acceptance?

I forgot about the "Blake Masters enjoyer" meme. The most school shooter-ass candidate. Lol
Hegseth complaining about Mark Kelly’s clothes is just the 2025 rehash of the “Blake Masters enjoyer” meme that everyone mocked during the campaign.

Weird freaks trying to exploit something they think normal people care about but it just makes them look more out of touch

If you view a video on mobile YouTube now allows you to “Hype” it by clicking a little icon near the likes bar. This one is having a rough time out the gate so if you could give this a hype(or 3) I would appreciate it
Gallus was acclaimed Emperor in the wake of Rome’s crushing defeat at Abritus. During his reign Rome’s omnicrisis reached an inflection point as it dealt with foreign incursions while the economy deteriorated and disease ran rampant.

Remembering how when Abrams led the effort to install Guaido and Ilhan Omar was one of the only prominent voices bringing up his disastrous record in the region people said she was only criticizing his war crimes because she was antisemitic

what makes art art is that it's the product of human intelligence. even artists who have done automated work, like tinguely, it's satire, it's the point of the work-- in fact with tinguely the art work is the machine, not the "art" it produces-- it's satire.
November 23, 2025 at 6:55 PM
AI “art” enthusiasts don’t understand that the thing which makes great art evocative isn’t the ability to recreate a photorealistic scene but the ability to be inspired by the mundane to create in a novel way. This is a skill that has to be honed just as much as the actual method of creating art
