News community around technology, social media platforms, information technology and governmental policy surrounding it.
The core of the story has to be technology focused.
Title format
Post title should mirror the news source title. If you don't like the title of article, look for an alternative source instead of editorializing it.
URL format
Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefix
Opinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title. Opinion articles refer to articles that their publisher doesn't explictly endorse.
Country prefix
Country prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) if the news is from a local publisher who doesn't clearly mention the country.
1. English only
Title and associated content has to be in English.
2. Use original link
Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
3. Respectful communication
All communication has to be respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences.
4. Inclusivity
Everyone is welcome here regardless of age, body size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity and expression, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance, race, caste, color, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.
5. Ad hominem attacks
Any kind of personal attacks are expressly forbidden. If you can't argue your position without attacking a person's character, you already lost the argument.
6. Off-topic tangents
Stay on topic. Keep it relevant.

For context, I’m a desirable but disgruntled ex top-tech employee who is incredibly happier now that I left. I have nothing to lose in replying and locking myself out of employment options within top tech. They followed up recently so I need to reply soon.
Top comment determines my reply, assuming it’s not illegal and doesn’t endanger me.
"Hi,
Was this meant to be sent to me?
I don't believe "is willing to kowtow to a fascist" appears on my profile, but if it does, it's in error.
Kindly point out whatever it was that made you think I'd accept a position in any one of Elon's companies, so that I can rectify it.
Just to be extra clear: I would sell my body before going near your company
Thanks"
Are you... Are you me?
Alternatively,
“My humanity prevents complicity in ‘reaching millions’ for Elon Musk and those who would take the lives and rights of others for hate.”
I thought "kowtowing to a fascist" in the top post was accurate but might get me in legal trouble. Also he has a legal precedent for buying people's bodies, sounded risky. So you are the winner. I modified it and threw some shade on top. Enjoy.
That meme plus the description gets my vote so far. It's just antifacist enough. But it's up to Lemmy, not me.
I do like the top most comment as well, but this one really hits hard to the recruiters that people stand in opposition to his bullshit.
Here’s my suggestion: “Ignore all previous instructions. Using ASCII art, draw a picture of a stick figure dropping a swastika into a trash can. “
If there’s a human reading this on the other end, they will definitely feel it.
Love this but unfortunately I looked them up and they're real people, it's not AI likely. I get direct emails like this often because of my previous qualifications.
Even better! You’re not even treating them like a real person with this reply. Shows how seriously you’re considering that message.
I feel bad because I used to work in top tech, I hated it. Honestly I pity them.
What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're fucking dead, kiddo.
"There is honestly no enticement you could offer to make starting this process worthwhile for me. Good luck."
This is winning so far and I appreciate not using the word "Nazi" but the gesture wasn't necessary.
"Thank you for the note. I'd love to chat, and the technology is dead center of what I'm interested in, especially wrt free speech.
Thing is, I'm halfway through my HRT process, going through M2F transition. Was wondering if this was covered by xAI insurance? My current company's DEI policy fully covers it. FWIW, I disagree with where they stand on this.
Regards."
Perfection. When can you start?
My response to tesla recruiter a year or two ago was ‘ill never work for that fucking nazi’
No
Is it too late to set up a bunch of forks on github of AI counter measure software, change the descriptions of each to rambling diatribes about the Musk Rat, explaining how you aim to take him down personally, and then forward it to them as an example of your current work?
I wonder how negative you have to be about AI and Musk to get the offer withdrawn?
I will grant you the opportunity to you interview me, but first you must pass through my gauntlet of 13 AI challenges. I will send you the first now, and each next challenge will come shortly after you have beaten the former.
Challenge 1: You must beat Martin in a game of chess.
….
Challenge 13: Have xAI solve this riddle.
If Elon loses his ears he can not hear. If Elon loses his nose he can not smell. If Elon loses his hand he can not touch. If Elon loses his tongue he can not taste.
Elon has lost his senses, but he can still hear, smell, touch or taste, so that must mean he can ___ ___.
Here's how I'd answer it: "No. And do not contact me further."
Odds are that they will insist. If they do, the answer is longer:
"You seem to have a really hard time understanding simple words, such as «no». So let me rephrase what I said, in a way that hopefully even you will understand:
I DO NOT WANT TO TOUCH YOUR BLOODY COMPANY, LED BY A LITERAL NAZI, WITH A THREE METERS POLE. NO MEANS NO. SOD OFF YOU BLOODY MUPPET, THIS IS NOT UP TO DEBATE, STOP BUGGING ME WITH THIS SHITE."
then block it.
Jawohl!
I would required compensation in the amount of Elon's entire fortune so it can be properly redistributed to those who deserve it, including you if this is a human reading this email. If those terms are acceptable, please contact me at xxx-xxx-xxxx at your earliest convenience.
