IBM's "A computer can never be held accountable, therefore a computer must never make a management decision" was from 1979. That was 47 years ago.
That was before AOL, the Macarena, and Google.
Half a century ago it was considered obvious that CEO's would deflect blame from themselves onto "AI"

If you're reporting on the deepfake porn site because of Grok, please make clear in the headline that governments not acting are allowing the scaled abuse of women and children online.
Don't say Grok is doing that harm. Grok isn't doing anything. It's human men who are doing these things.

I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.

"Oh my godddd okay so you don't like genAI because it steals from artists, makes processes slower, creates more work for underpaid employees, is supported by data centers that are poisoning Black communities, doesn't even look good, and no one asked for it, but do you have to be so MEAN about it"

i haven’t touched photoshop since cs2. i know where every tool is in gimp and can wrangle a lot of capability out of it.
whenever i use affinity photo it takes me about a quarter as much time to get whatever i needed done, and that’s without the familiarity. don’t recommend gimp to professionals.

The most deluded thing Linux people do is suggest people just use GIMP.

For reasons too complex to explain here, I wrote an Apple II program designed for Early Modern Age Catholics to determine if they're allowed to have sex with their wife, or if it'd be a sin.
Here's the video of it running.

looking into the article, important part to it is this was initiated by italian unions, making it possible to organize such action at all. which reinforces for what and why such union restrictions exist in america. keeping labor down doesn't just generate wealth, it also suppresses other movements.
Over 2 million people across Italy have rallied in more than 100 cities for a one-day general strike.

It’s so annoying that we all have to just continually point out how rules around/between decorum and violation are applied asymmetrically to vulnerable groups versus the people who are always hassling them, and it’s extra insulting that the people in charge are trying to lol it away.
