What a shit article. The courts ruled that the hundreds of employees that were placed on admin leave pending termination for working there less than a year were fired illegally. They cannot fire them. Since they are still on admin leave they have to come back.

What they failed to mention is that all of the employees who were put on admin leave pending termination, who then took the “fork” offer do not get to come back because they “quit.”

The GSA was and is DOGE central and is completely broken right now.

Exactly. An open world with nothing in it and nothing to interact with is just a chore to travel through. It’s a wait tax between content sections.

If only scientific papers had some kind of summary. You know like something in front of the paper that abstracts the entire thing down to less than a page.

Age verification is ID verification. By requiring ID site owners effectively have a monopoly on the bot armies infesting reddit, YouTube, Facebook, etc. These armies aren’t going away. They are just getting smarter and more influential with AI.

Everyone is focusing on the privacy aspect and glossing over the fact that these laws give Silicon Valley complete control over online discourse. They’ll know who exactly who you are and how best to manipulate you with their bots.

 

When I get out of the shower it’s like trying to dry a wet towel with a towel.

You don’t get to sell your business to a conglomerate then complain that they don’t give a shit about about anything but money.

If companies stop reporting quarterly, then all of the bad news is going to come all at once at the end of the of most companies fiscal year in the fall. Since it’s every industry, the entire market will surge or sink every fall. If people had insider knowledge, well that’s a yearly wealth transfer from your 401k to the 1%.

They’re calling bullshit. Russia can violate NATO airspace and we won’t do shit. They know that no one in NATO wants an all out war, so they keep pushing it as a power move

 
 

I finally watched the two movies that come before The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. I loved them. They were exciting and dramatic and had some decent storytelling.

What I liked most was they don’t spoon feed you everything. If you’re not paying attention and are on your phone you’re not going to know what’s going on. For example, I was on my phone, looked up, and saw that the hero was doing terribly at target practice. I had to rewind to see that they broke his right hand and was learning to shoot with his left. I swear modern movies just have actors narrating and renarrating what they’re doing because they know you’re on your phone not really paying attention.

Also, I realized that when a cowboy does a super quick draw and shoots 3 men before they can draw it’s just like an anime when there is a flash and the hero sheathes their sword, with enemies falling over dead.

Funny. I watched half of that last night and was going to watch the rest tonight. I hadn’t seen it since the 90s.

The fight scenes feel like a Jackie Chan movie from the same era. They are just a little slapstick and silly while broken up by a very serious movie. Enjoy.

What an awful headline. It sounds like she’s saying she doesn’t care what the public thinks, when actually she’s saying that her personal opinions aren’t what matters.

There is so much these shitheads do to be actually upset about without taking quotes out of context.

The man who could have Trump imprisoned for life, but was too busy playing by the rules instead.

For me at least it’s that the perspective is off. When someone is learning to draw or is just a shitty artist and the perspective isn’t very good you can immediately identify it. It looks like someone drew “front” eyes on the side of the head or something like that. When AI makes an image, the perspective is off, just in a different ways. The eye doesn’t look like a “front” eye or a “side” eye or a “top” eye. It looks like all of them and none of them. It makes the entire thing unsettling.

That does not look like Donald Trump. That looks like a body double. The nose is wrong. The jowels are wrong. The mouth shape is wrong.

 

It feels surreal just printing stuff without guilt or drama. 10/10 highly recommend.

 

The MAHA report got me thinking. We need a concise slur for people who blindly copy and paste LLM outputs. It needs to say that the person is lazy, ignorant, gullible, disrespectful, and dishonest all at once. Something along the lines of NPC. Maybe parrot? But that’s not too catchy. Any ideas?
