China, dude, relax. With Trump in the white house you’re so perfectly poised to take the throne… why you gotta ruin it by being a petty betty?

We can talk a trade deal, but first you have to unwind.

And maybe a pipe later.

Yeah, the ‘just following orders’ brigade. Also, C is for Charlatan, it was decided, by them, through their ineptitude.

Depends on the company and its culture. Sometimes they’re the worst, others they’re quite good.

Size can be a factor (easier to hide in a larger crowd), but any size group can allow itself to be led by feckless fecking fecks if they don’t push back.

Leaving aside the whole circle jerkular economics of AI, the pattern in tech companies has been:

• devs start using AI
• middle mgmt says cool but watch the security
• CEO says increase productivity, reduce labor!
• middle mgmt says but the cost, and competence…
• HR cuts 10% here, 15% there, finance says spreadsheet happy
• delivery suffers, quality suffers
• AI cost skyrockets
• middle mgmt says ayyy no bueno
• CEO still doesn’t understand what AI is, says more more more
• some AI generated script deletes PROD
• there’s no backup, no recovery
• costs are higher than ever, product is worth less than ever, and there’s no ‘company’ because there’s no team

Can we make the CEO role redundant already? ‘One boss to rule them all’ is the fastest way into the fires of mount doom. Stupid fucks…

Where are all those agile loraxes now? Why didn’t we listen to them about sustainable operations?

Obligatory ‘Thanks, Smokey!’ 🐑🍆

They usually have a code of conduct, though. They can put whatever they want in the code, and expell students for violations.

Are US universities in such a situation that they can’t collect enough tuition without tolerating otherwise unacceptable behavior?

On the other hand, most famous economists can shut the fuck up 🙂

And if we’re talkin’ Autumn Leaves and gold: https://youtu.be/r-Z8KuwI7Gc

But if you break it in half, you’ll have 2 bars, and that’s like 50% off! Break it again, 50+50 that’s 100% off! Why stop there?! Trump did say he was gonna cut prices by 700%.

Promises made, Americans wept 🙃

I was fully expecting ≥2 people in the comments to share some relevant and interesting info about diotrophes of miletus…

Where are ü now that I need ya? 🥺

What happened to the Celts’ oral traditions? How are indigenous Australians’ historical depictions still stayin’ alive, stayin’ alive?

(Is it because ignorant bozos like me are oblivious to them?)

It’s for your own good. JD Vance is on his way to collect the daily dogwater tax, and if he sees what you did you’re toast (or whatever makes sense, please and thank you) 🛋️

Trump’s always thinking of the children
