Devasta

* Most companies have staff spread across different office locations

* Your clients are in other office locations

* Your suppliers are in other office locations

* Even if somehow you and your clients and your suppliers are all in the same building, you should still be conducting your meetings through something like Teams so that you have recordings of everything, something that juniors can go back to see the rationale behind decisions or revisit the training sessions done for them.

Even if you are going into the office 7 days a week, you should be operating a remote-first model.

I think we'll find that for most AI stuff.

Apparently the Taliban find office work far worse than being fighters, so you never know!

People don't become quants because they are EAs, they become EAs to justify to themselves why they became quants.

If the Epstein class won't allow for everyone to have a reasonable standard of living when they relied on workers to produce, the chances of them allowing it when they don't is next to nil. They couldn't even bear the thought of people working from home, for no other reason than the workers liked it, and that cost them nothing.

This Axiom has caused far and away more damage to software development than the premature optimization ever will.

That doesn't mean it has to be wage labor though.

Thats a weird way of describing it.

A machine telling me to exercise and eat right will be ignored, even if the advice is correct. A person I trust taking me aside, looking me in the eye and asking me the same would be taken far more seriously.

The intended audience was meant to be blockchain weirdos with encyclopedic knowledge of the age of consent in every state, but instead they are stuck with a core userbase of Furries and LGBT people.

They don't know how to fix this, so they'll be stuck floundering for a while to come trying and failing to return to their core mission.

Anything they do in this conflict is justified, anything less than their total victory is a disaster for the world.

Iran has been the grown up in the room for well over a decade at this stage and it didn't matter one bit. You cannot appease Israel or the US because that don't want to be appeased, they want to bomb Iran into a lawless wasteland. They could have switched to a secular liberal democracy and it'd make no difference.

That being said nothing about these laws is about protecting children; their primary purpose is to crack down on the next Just Stop Oil or Palestine Action so for that reason should be opposed.

If a native desktop app crashes, your users will gnash their teeth and curse your name. A web app? They shrug and refresh the page. They have been trained to do this for decades now, why would anyone believe this isn't intended behavior?

No one has a reasonable expectation of quality when it comes to the web.

I'm talking about like 100-200 members max social clubs, not subthing like subreddits with tens of thousands of users.

Why couldn't it?

Start with funny videos, like clips of animals doing silly things.

Then have the occasional cringy video of a person being funny but slightly cringe in there, something akin to you've been framed.

Then have people who are being cringe but its carefully framed, a well edited video of some left wing student pushing for a policy but in a clumsy way, being embarrassing the way all teenagers are.

After a while longer, your feed is nothing but clips of BEN SHAPIRO PUBLICALLY EXECUTES THIS SOCIAL JUSTIC WARRIOR ON THE ALTAR OF FACTS AND LOGIC.

BEN SHAPIRO CLIP COMPILATION - OWNS THIS TRANS ACTIVIST- FACTS DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR FEELINGS!

Then you suddenly are getting people talking about their concerns™ about trans people in sports, how there might be unaddressed issues, and then Helen Joyce and the like are appearing in your feed, sounding calm and reasonable while they politely and civilly discuss how all trans people are inherently vile sexual predators engaged in a global conspiracy to sterilize your children.

More and more right wing content, drip drip drip, absolutely no one step that is that distinguishable from the previous, until eventually your feed is nothing but Q-Anon if you are lucky, and outright Nazism if not.

Today, it's a dumpster fire, I can't see what anyone is doing, it's just AI videos and engagement bait.

Discord is the replacement for my friends at least.

You trying to start a union in your workplace? Expect video of you jacking off in public to leak online. Video of cop mercilessly beating a black guy? Inadmissible, could have been AI.

It will only get worse as video and audio generation get better and better.
