I hate the greedy cynical corporations behind LLMs, and I hate the hype bubble, and I hate my stupid bosses and their AI FOMO. But I don't hate AI. It's a broad concept much bigger than chat bots. Hurricane modeling AI is damned good, for one example.

Late stage capitalism. It's all rent seeking, all the way down.

Yup. Some of them seriously believed in the occult.

Yup. At my job it's fairly common for annoying "urgent" requests to come in late afternoon on Fridays. Often from some of the upper management folks who do very little work. They finally realize "whoops, the weekend is almost here!" They suddenly want to check a box somewhere to make it look like they actually did something this week. And, of course, the requests are always a hand-off to someone in my department to do the actual work (which the requestor will take full credit for after we close the ticket).

Lots of, uh, interesting comments here. My 2-cents worth of advice:

1. Be highly suspicious of arguments that are essentially punching down on workers, all Americans, common people being lazy, stupid, etc. It's class warfare (always has been) and the enemy are the oligarchs, not your fellow working class people.

2. Calls to violence this early are pathetic. The non-violent activism is working and it's only just barely even started. Calls to violence are from meatheads with zero patience (and likely zero understanding of how horrible that outcome will be for everyone involved).

No thanks. But nice try, travel agent cartoonist!

You could say they went down a....puts on sunglasses...FernGully.

And how am I supposed to ignore my family without it, exactly?

Yup. The whole hostage taking thing could have been prevented or at least mitigated, but they wanted a flimsy excuse for genocide.

Joke's on them. I get up at 5AM and I'm a worthless member of society.

Further proof that the NPP is bullshit. Like the one they gave to Obama.

I am a side sleeper. I find I sleep better if the head of the bed is tilted up a few degrees. So I'm really saying this cartoon is actual science, folks.
