It all fits. Suppose you’re corporate leadership. You’re laying people off / refusing to hire because you have no clue what things will look like even 1 or 2 years in the future, and you are •terrified•.
Meanwhile, your investors, your gullible trend-chasing investors, are already mentally dividing companies into “pre-AI” and “post-AI.” And not only do you have no idea how to be “post-AI,” but you have no idea whether you’ll be solvent next year. What do you tell them?!??
Obviously you tell them you’re not hiring because you’re having such incredible success with AI! Maybe even you’re going to lay off all the senior people! They’ll love that!
Now you’re not failing and flailing — you’re leading the march into the future! Yay!

TIL: Conspiracy theorists' main drive for believing absurd things is: I have a vague but persistent feeling that someone is getting away with something.
And of course, they are right, we're all getting fucked (/me assumes the 1% isn't here).

I cannot stress enough the stupidity of e.g. "ACAB" and "ABOLISH THE POLICE"
Get out of your feelings and get into your strategy -- it is undeniably true that there is a SEVERE need for police reform
But, tell me, who escorted ICE away from Dodger Stadium?

im in the forest engulfing my family's neighborhood and im 30 minutes late. gonna play dnd with a buncha faggots im vaguely familiar with. i have a weeks old used plastic bottle i'll keep filling with water till i can't, and an umbrella cause there was rain that dissipated immediately after i arrived. the ground level greenery is all at least a foot taller since earlier with the gender therapist, a centipede crawls through a split vine, and i can't use the downed tree as a se…
Do you know what I truly hate? Biting horse-flies.
Like, a whole swarm of them just starts flying around you, and won't let go. If you're walking fast, they usually don't manage to sit on you, but that doesn't stop them from trying. So they keep bouncing off your legs, trying to fly into your nose, walking over your glasses… and after a little time your skin is so irritated that you can't tell anymore if it managed to sit this time, or just bounced — until you feel the painful bite.
I think I've killed a record number of them today.
One weird part of Facebook is seeing people sending birthday greetings to dead people.
Some know what they are doing and you can tell by how they phrase their posts.
Then there are people who have no idea the person is dead and are just blindly following Facebook's instructions.

Heterogeneity Noted: Patterns of gene expression varied across tissues, models, and individuals, emphasizing the need for larger, more targeted studies.
