    “Non-participation” does not mean inaction, just in case it needs to be said.

    You cannot fix the system. If the second time Trump got to power didn’t open your eyes, when are you going to call it? When they start undermining trust in elections? Pressure on officials to overturn results? Attacks on the press? Invoking crises to expand executive authority? Politicization of law enforcement? Purging civil servants not loyal to the ruling party? Undermining courts or ignoring judicial rulings? Scapegoating minority groups?

    We’ve seen this script before, yet you still think it’s best to play along.

    The vulnerable have been exploited for greed and profit for decades now by the billionaires. That noose has never stopped tightening, and you’re trying to argue that we may inadvertently scald them when we burn the rope that’s strangling them.

    Stockholm syndrome at its finest.

    Americans look at the most broken system ever, and you’d think they would come up with ways of fixing it, but instead, they double down on this logic of “lesser evil”, and fool themselves into believing that’s “good”.

    It is not.

    Choosing the lesser evil means the end result is still evil, it just takes longer.

    But sure, disregard all evidence waves arms around that shows the current system is beyond redemption, and line up for the national pastime of “Pick Your Pedo” as a good little boy.

    Hit me with those downvotes, I’ll ping you when the next presidential election comes around to ask you how your way’s been working out.







  • I don’t get these companies that are trying to force AI down people’s throats.

    I really like how mine is handling this. They gave us Gemini like 6 months ago, along with about a paragraph at most saying that we must stop using AI services from unvetted providers (GPT, etc) with company or customer data, because we needed to have legal agreements in place for that.

    Nobody ever mentioned it again, at all. They probably provided us with that AI because we had people using all sorts of services and it was becoming a nightmare, so they signed some contract to cover data protection requirements and said “here, use this one if you must”.

    Now it’s just there. There’s zero pressure to use it. Some Google guys wanted to come over to make some presentations, some people signed up for those but they were entirely optional.

    You use it if you have a use case for it, or don’t, doesn’t matter. The only metrics are the one we’ve always had - deliver good work, on time. How you do that is up to you.
