Sounds about right. Rewards seem to have no relation to contributions in my workplace, and I’m guessing I’m not alone. Might as well try to give them as little as possible of yourself. You’ve seen so many people work hard and end up looking like fools for it.

I became a communist

They’re democrats by necessity, though, and not embraced by or representative of the party establishment.

Do you know where I might read further about this as a non-expert?

Try to have some fruit on hand!

The hostility these people have for their customers is really something to see.

Probably OP’s work computer. Most people don’t get to choose.

The sheer amount of violence that women and children are expected to absorb as normal in order to maintain the illusion of a civilized society is honestly staggering to look at.

Millions can’t afford rent, but at least the government is making snuff films.

Being “canceled” often seems to benefit someone in the long run, if they can keep it together and not respond by making grievance their entire online identity. In a sense it’s just attention and an opportunity for greater exposure.

Either way, you’re going to die someday. If there’s something you would like to do before that, you shouldn’t let fear of disapproval stop you.

AI features are also Microsoft’s excuse for trying to force customers into a $100/yr subscription model.

““The physical threats and the harassment represent something new in our society and something that’s quite disturbing, and I think it’s a danger,” Alito concluded.”

These are just not new things at all in US society. Maybe he thinks it’s new because he’s never experienced it before. But it shows a profound ignorance of American history to say something like that.

The level of trust that implies, though!

Meta is an evil company. How many ways do they have to show that before people catch on?

Not knowing where you are, it’s hard to say. But you might as well start with whatever is most accessible to you. Getting involved will help you get to know who’s doing what and how in your area. I will say it’s usually easier to move from less to more radical groups than the other way around, so if you’re shopping around, you might want to start with a more mainstream group.

I think things are getting worse faster because the people in power know the cat’s out of the bag. They’re trying to grab everything they can and to fortify themselves against the backlash they know is coming for them.

We have these midterms and then the Presidential election in a couple years. Unfortunately, things will get even worse before they get better. But if we aren’t building the power to actually seize opportunities when they arise, we’ll fail to recover at all. Organizing is the best thing we can do.

People will literally move to Israel to avoid going to therapy.

Governments around the world fund cancer research. Cancer charities are among the best funded. There’s a lot of money going into curing cancers.

If you put LLMs in everything, eventually when something good happens, then someone can pretend it was because of the LLM!

Cancer doesn’t get cured by ideas alone, the most demanding part of the job is actually testing the treatments, which takes a huge amount of money, time, and effort. No technology will change the fact that you need to wait 10 years to see if a treatment can prevent the cancer from coming back for 10 years.
