  • Might be time to start disabling those cameras.

  • Don't buy anything from Amazon.

  • Yeah. I just wouldn't feel comfortable putting my name to a slice of that dreary blandness.

  • As a long-time user of the em-dash I'm pissed off that my usual writing style now makes people think I used AI. I have to second-guess my own punctuation and paraphrase.

  • I've been programming professionally for 25 years. Lately we're all getting these messages from management that don't give requirements but instead give us a heap of AI-generated code and say "just put this in." We can see where this is going: management are convincing themselves that our jobs can be reduced to copy-pasting code generated by a machine, and the next step will be to eliminate programmers and just have these clueless managers. I think AI is robbing management of skills as well as developers. They can no longer express what they want (not that they were ever great at it): we now have to reverse-engineer the requirements from their crappy AI code.

  • this is all assuming that Dems don’t immediately cave

    That bit sounds implausible.

  • Is the US military by now really, as some want to imagine, populated by courageous conscience-torn patriots with a rock-solid allegiance to the constitution, prepared to take the huge personal risk of disobeying orders out of love for the laws and people of the USA? Or is it a bunch of young people who are bored until they see some action, who'd rather do as they're told and get through in the hopes of better opportunities later, commanded by the remaining generals Trump has picked for their loyalty to him above the country? Probably somewhere in between, but some journalists' hope that the military's moral sense and commitment to their oaths will lead to mass disobedience of illegal orders seems highly optimistic. The US military has a long history of invasions and atrocities, and although it messes people up and they may struggle to live with what they have done afterwards, they still tend to do it.

  • Americans want all kinds of extreme and crazy things, like healthcare and education and housing and food and not being shot in the face. Unfortunately the best the government can do is shoot them in the face.

  • He might be better in being harder for MAGA cultists to like. But I'm not sure how much they care about being liked, when they're talking about simply cancelling elections.

  • Yeah you need hardware for that. They're making it so we can't get hardware and we can't self-host.

  • "Software engineers must do what they've always done (but I'm pretending they haven't), only now for less pay and after their colleagues have all been fired and all in order to prop up a crappy AI product."

    These AI sycophants can fuck off.

  • Democrats would declare that it's time to move on and let bygones be bygones.

  • They're "investigating" every public official who gets in the way of their Nazi activities. This is what Nazis do. They won't stop until they're stopped.

  • I think it's a real threat, not just a dumb thing to say.

  • If an election is held.

  • And then the media will carry endless pieces debating "both sides" of the elections vs dictatorship issue. Although they won't call it dictatorship: they'll call it whatever Stephen Miller decides it should be called.
