can the next big term that gets treated like 'abolish' and 'defund' where it's not the exact right term to use to beg for table scraps, be 'expropriation'

this word feels like it is crackling with electric power right about now

This is very funny. "Pretty please can you give our bomb back?"

Meanwhile Israel put hundreds of these fucking things (and Israeli equivalents) into apartment towers in Iran, and Iran is already reverse engineering AIM-120Cs expended over Iraq to shoot down drones.

Can't put the toothpaste back.

It makes sense that ai use drops off the more actual work you have to do at your job
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?
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.

wooof this whole thread hurts
An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.

Some of these are fun and comical, conveying the attitudes of developers, but -all- of them convey aspects of the game world and say things about the spaces where they're encountered. When your game has an ambient detail that's a magazine titled GREED, that says something very specific.
I'm concerned that one thing game companies will use genAI for is populating background details like fake magazines, store shelf products, and book covers. This is what they're trying to take from us. This is what's at stake. (Vampire Masquerade Bloodlines, Dead Rising, and Plastic Battlegrounds VR)

If writing is so easy why do people argue that they can’t do it without the pablumatic verbiage extruder

And if it’s so difficult then why do people think it’s not labour and writers are not workers

4011 is the SKU for bananas, and it's written on the soul of anyone who's ever worked at a kroger. if you don't know any other SKU, you know bananas. there are four orange SKUS, seven plum-adjacent ones, and no one buys kiwis. but every cart has bananas, good old 4011.

The most reactionary anti-immigrant policy in my lifetime cannot fail it can only be failed, both the absence and presence of violence against the state are seen as justifications for its continued and expanded brutality.

I was at the protest today: SPPD was on site when I got there, but their numbers continued to swell. The crowd was loud af but not at all violent- nor were they impeding agents "doing their jobs" or residents. SPPD was in good spirits- many were smiling and laughing. The protesters were told to +
