I just had a huge epiphany when I got home from work.

The only reason why police "protect" the people is because their protecting ruling class property.

Just like police would sooner protect a store than give you the things you need during a crisis, you are only as useful as the labor you produce and its in the ruling class' best interest to make sure their investment is protected.

Once you are no longer useful, the protection goes away.

Remember:

LLMs aren’t taking their jobs.

Capitalists are trying to increase profit margins and eould have fired these filks regardless.

LLMs are just being used as the scapegoat.

Still should have unionized, though.

Also, it isn’t too late to start!

quoting
note19s7…c084

unpopular opinion: software developers were too comfortable for too long. they didn't unionize when everybody told them to. they didn't use the time they had when they were on top to implement meaningful safeguards for their jobs. and now llms are hitting their industry like a sledgehammer and they don’t know how to fight because they never did.

i don’t say that to blame them, it’s still their bosses who are the problem. but take it as a wake up call and unionize. better late than never.

🕊11 years after her death, we remember Sandra Bland, and recommit ourselves to the fight for justice and for an entirely new system, free of racist police brutality!

Bland was a Black Lives Matter activist and vocal advocate against injustice. In July 2015, Bland was pulled over by a Texas state trooper for failing to signal a lane change. She was taken into custody at Waller County Jail, and three days after her arrest, was supposedly found hanging in her cell.

Either your state is for the people or it isn't.

Now, how Western societies decide to define that isn't up to me as an individual.

But, if funded by public funds and is supposed to serve the public good, I'd say that it is state run if the state is also supposed to serve the people.

But, if the state isn't, there is a fundamental disconnect. And I'd argue institutions like the BBC AREN'T in the public's best interest. See: Gaza.

Just got an email from my job saying we should leverage AI and emerging technologies for sustainable IT operations for Earth Day.

Honestly, if I wasn’t married and a parent, I probably would have quit some time ago and done something radically different with my life.

I don’t hate what I’ve become, but I increasingly feel like I just don’t fit in.

I’m a broken old man who only understands tech and the fascists have taken it over.

Trump's administration is waging war on everyone – people in Iran, Cuba and around the world, and people here in the United States who are denied our most basic needs like housing, healthcare, and decent jobs. Only massive action by the people can turn this around.

I have several child accounts on my consoles for my son and I have to explicitly approve what he can play, what he can purchase (if I allow him to do that), and how he interacts online.

However, I can see that failing on the other hand by watching how my wife interacts with that same system on his iPad.

We have to do better even though I understand that’s a tall order given our current system.

That's fucking horrible and dystopian.

But to say that people using AI tools is "de-skilling" them when they may need a little more organizational help, task management help, feels icky to me.

Using these tools with Obsidian has helped me organize my thoughts so much.

The more I color outside of the lines of US societal norms (communism, leftist gun ownership, etc.), the more I think that the way people view what's "normal" is used to control us.

And I mean outside of the obvious.

Like, how liberals think that gun owners are all crazed lunatics and how Global North countries look at the US because of our situation.
