@Neat_hot @TheBreadmonkey I don’t see why not!

@deviantollam @llorenzin We’ll need a Call For Quiet, a Call For Meditation, and possibly a Call For Tea.

@deviantollam @llorenzin SpaCon! It needs to be a thing.

What if I could convince you that taking the same time to explain detailed requirements and carefully validate results with a junior colleague instead of a chatbot would not only give you two people who understood the code instead of zero, but if you do it a few times in a row you eventually get a senior colleague out of the deal for free.

@deviantollam I went once to Ojo Caliente in New Mexico — also very nice

@pluralistic
No company has announced “thanks to AI, we have the same number of employees, but we have launched zillions of new services and are growing our product lines because of all the time our people get to spend innovating.”

I don’t know why that is.

@deviantollam Amen to that! Better yet, a spa week

@deviantollam No bueno, my friend 🫂

One thing we know about the mass tech layoffs attributed to "AI" is that they follow a trend of mass tech layoffs that firms were formerly forced to admit were the result of their businesses contracting sharply after the lockdowns ended, when users didn't need nearly so many cloud services. By blaming the continuing layoffs on "AI," companies whose business continues to contract can tell investors that they are on the bleeding edge, not the contracting tail.

@maxleibman Disturbia!

@TheBreadmonkey But … but … I look taller that way

@Neat_hot @TheBreadmonkey For heaven’s sake, put it in a hip flask like a civilized person!

We are here:

October 5, 1938: "the Reich Ministry of the Interior invalidates all German passports held by Jews. Jews must surrender their old passports, which will become valid only after the letter “J” has been stamped on them."

@Nonya_Bidniss Holy cow. I’m in Fort Collins.

I can’t stop thinking about Nurul Shah Alam, the disabled refugee who died after Border Patrol left him outside in the cold with no way to contact friends or family.

It took five days for him to die.

He was blind and didn’t speak English.

They took the pole he was using as a cane.

This man survived an actual genocide only to be killed by the incompetence and cruelty of the Trump regime.

Five days of wandering around lost, sick and disoriented.

It was all preventable.

They could have taken him home.

They could have called his family.

They could have refused to leave him for dead.

Say his name. Don’t ever forget what they did.
