LLM's as the new MLM's.

Gotta get those "active user" numbers up so we can raise (& waste) more money (& resources).

Hundreds of Starbucks baristas and labor organizers blockaded Starbucks' largest distribution center in York, Pennsylvania, halting distribution of syrups, coffee beans, and other supplies to the entire northeast.

This escalation is part of @sbworkersunited.org's ongoing strike.

Hey @susanholtnb.bsky.social we do NOT need this.
NB Power is already out of hand and investing in a gas plant, just to power a data center is ridiculous.
I know you want more businesses here but we already have resource hungry ones (ahem, Irving), we don't need even more destructive ones.

I will need everyone to read headlines with the voices of Emily and Alex in their heads from now on. The amount of scepticism that you will automatically look at the article with, is a good thing.
This is a good discussion and it is wild how out there so many of these articles are.
It’s time for another “all hell” episode! @alexhanna.bsky.social and I tried to clear the backlog, but it’s just coming in too fast. Listen in as we struggle through:

Just heard re: some ICE agents who raided a Chicago taqueria, then went back to the same taqueria for lunch the following week and got confused when the owner kicked them out, and I realized "jesus these doofuses really do believe we're all living in a video game where the NPCs have no memory"

@miawong.bsky.social trying to wrangle everyone so she can talk about pasta tariffs had me laugh crying while listening. 🤣
I'm still giggling about it.

Also: if you are looking for a weekly news update because so much has been happening all the time, this series is great for that.
The gang discuss the end of the government shutdown, the release of Epstein emails, a J6 bomber theory, and the wonders of the Trump economy.

OpenAI pirated large numbers of books and used them to train models.

OpenAI then deleted the dataset with the pirated books, and employees sent each other messages about doing so.

A lawsuit could now force the company to pay $150,000 per book, adding up to billions in damages.

Surprising (and refreshing!) to see this messaging from a University!

Western University in London, Ontario is urging students to mask up if they’re unwell and show compassion to those who do mask.

We need more of this.

Covid is still here and a good respirator is an excellent preventative tool!

Someone has put together a VERY thorough list of resources for people in the Portland area who need food. For those who have enough to share, please consider putting your time and/or money somewhere. For those who need help, here are places to get it.

I'm guessing the United Bodega Cats of America meowed their endorsement as well.
In so many ways, the vibrancy of our city can be judged by the health of our bodegas.

That’s why I’m so proud to be in the Bronx this morning to accept the endorsement of the United Bodegas of America.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.

The people who need help are not the problem.

It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.
