any time you're told to use AI at work, turn your work in about half as fast and pepper it with obvious mistakes. if nobody cares, you have less to do, and if they do, you can tell them you'll never use AI at work again

NOW: Massive protest at a Manhattan Home Depot both inside and outside the store.
Protesters are deliberately jamming operations by buying and returning ice scrapers to disrupt business and demand ICE out.
Peaceful. Strategic. Relentless.
This is how we win against cruelty and fascism🔥

I was at the mall tonight and walked by the Olympic Canada jersey everyone is complaining about. Decided to take a look!
Wow. It’s $150, made in Pakistan, and has the look and feel of a Temu shirt. Printed-on stripes, zero stitching, the patch leaf is super thin.

The Reverse Turing Test
If the LLM can generate the output, then the output doesn't matter.
That might be bc it's a waste of time; or it might be that doing the process is the part that matters

this is similar to what I've come to think of as the "reverse turing test"
when people find synthetic text is "good enough" to complete a task (homework, business report, email) it doesn't mean the machine is smart. it means they were asked to produce something that didn't matter
it's diagnostic

So similarly, when we see people who prefer ChatGPT or a similar synthetic text extruding machine as a source of medical information, that means those are people who are under-served in the current system.

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

Yeah. All of the strikes have been just as illegal as if Iran sunk a Disney cruise because it suspected passengers carried weed.
But this one is so blatant—helpless survivors on an already-damaged ship—that it's impossible to fabricate any rationale. It's a crack worth widening.

I get this but plenty of people had been calling all the strikes murder and it hadn't broken through. This revelation did and put even Republicans on the defensive and willing to do some oversignt. My sense is that any crack the regime's implacability is a foothold.
Once the debate centers on whether the 2nd strike was legal, the first 21 strikes have been accepted as baseline. But the murder of the two survivors doesn’t make the other 21 any more legal. Selective outrage, not silence, is how authoritarianism becomes normalized @tadstoermer.bsky.social
