We joke about vibe coding but we’re at the tail end of 30 years of vibe management, vibe leadership and vibe capitalization in this industry and we have to solve the real problem.

tangential — one of my teams used to talk about the “bus factor” for the risk of meat documentation being lost to a car crash

Then one of our team was rear ended badly enough to be out for months

We had to come up with new terms because “bus factor” was too vivid and violent in reality

PLUS of course it wasn’t a bus, it was a big personal pickup

@jessie

Been horrifying teammates by referring to undocumented information that's held only in people's heads as "locked in meat storage".

Please use this with your teams/projects and report back on how they like it?

Unfortunately, there is *entirely too much truth* to that!

I was working with *Management Consultants* recently, and they are 100% absolutely into using LLMs to generate their pointless PowerPoint presentations. It's all slop. But that seems to be the mainstay of top management tiers!

I've long said that it's best to go to McDonald's when you're already feeling sick anyway.

(And that this is practical advice, as their food is bland; it won't upset your stomach.)

I learned something today: Google's Gemini "AI" on phones accesses your data from "Phones, Messages, WhatsApp" and other stuff whether you have Gemini turned on or not. It just keeps the data longer if you turn it on. Oh, and lets it be reviewed by humans (!) for Google's advantage in training "AI" etc.

But this only came to my attention because of an upcoming change: it's going to start keeping your data long-term even if you turn it "off": "#Gemini will soon be able to help you use Phone, #Messages, #WhatsApp, and Utilities on your phone, whether your Gemini Apps Activity is on or off."

This is, of course, a #privacy and #security #nightmare.

If this is baked into Android, and therefore not removable, I'd have to say I'd recommend against using Android at all starting July 7th.

@jasongorman I'm afraid you live in a pre-existing condition.

AOC is quite on point with this.

Golden rice, is genetically engineered to produce beta-carotene, a vitamin A precursor.

Vitamin A deficiency causes blindness, hearing loss, corneal scarring, increased mortality from diarrheal and other infectious diseases, and death.

Vitamin A deficiency in developing nations impacts over sixty-two million children and causes between 125,000 and 250,000 pediatric deaths every year.

Golden rice? Could solve this.

8/

It is estimated that up to 2.5 million lives could be saved every year by increasing intake of vitamin A through dietary sources or supplementation.

In India alone, Golden Rice could prevent more than 40,000 pediatric deaths if it were approved and grown in place of regular rice.

Why isn’t this being used? Such a simple solution to save children!

Because of anti-GMO rhetoric and lobbying from organizations like EWG, Greenpeace, and Moms Across America.

“'In matters of life and death, it is best to proceed with caution. In this case, the Government took the opposite approach,' Sotomayor wrote, noting people who were wrongly deported to third countries — even in violation of the district court’s injunction in the case before the justices, Department of Homeland Security v. D.V.D."
