Managers basically don't respect the wide and varying nature of what their human front line workers actually do and how they can provide the best experience for your customers *if you let them*
But they've been convinced systems which slot you into predetermined paths are "efficiency"

Update: @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social has now come out against funding DHS & ICE state-sanctioned domestic terrorists.
Thank you Rep Jeffries.
Still radio silence from Minority Leader @schumer.senate.gov on whether or not he’s willing to do the bare minimum to oppose the American Gestapo

Exactly! Scientific useful machine learning algorithms are NOT the same as generalized llm/genAI systems.
And the lack of distinction among all, even opponents, continues to make this discussion impossible.

The "relentless negativity" around AI is not hurting society.
The reason that negativity even exists is because AI and its associated hype culture is actively hurting society.

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased.
Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power.
Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable.
But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.
Remember this.

It really is amazing how often the "argument" boils down to some form of "pendulum effect" where the pendulum swinging "too far" was just ATTEMPTING to extend the same social privilege, assumed for the "white everyman" by default, to everyone else.
They treat everything as a zero-sum game.

We're being put through this because a good portion of the country were so angry a Black man was elected president, gays could marry, and trans people existed that they decided to elect the worst possible person to destroy the country. The rest were rubes fooled by mis and disinformation.

Trump won't be impeached and he won't be removed from office. We're all going to be forced to watch in horror as he completely destroys America's standing in the world, its economy, and the stability of the world order.

To be politically conscious from 2000-2009, and more specifically from 2001-2005, was to have your brain stamped with a feverish Curse of Knowing. So when you see shit like this, all you can think is “Dick Cheney insisting on links between Al Qaeda and Saddam”. You never forget the scent.

Something I feel we should take away from all this nonsense at the federal level: The average American being ignorant to the sheer amount of effort and resources involved "behind the scenes" to keep society operating is an untenable situation.
Half the battle with this guy is just reiterating government can and already does good things that are so ubiquitous they’ve become invisible. He’s able to remind you in a way that you understand that good government can exist outside of a 24/7 vengeance operation, and in NYC already does.
Stay warm, stay safe New York.

These are concentration camps. And these are the numbers they're comfortable sharing.
This is the sixth death in ICE custody in 18 days. This isn’t enforcement, it’s a system that cages people, outsources care, and shrugs when they die. Abolish ICE.

I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.
