“The DOJ is giving Congress just four computers in a satellite office to read the unredacted Epstein File of more than 3 million documents. Working 40 hours a week on nothing else but this, it would take more than seven years for the 217 Members who signed the House discharge petition to read just the documents they’ve decided to release (and there are 3 million still being withheld)."

Getting a little sick of governments murdering their own people. Like, that's not your job, guys. You're supposed to be working for the people, remember?
I think my body is telling me to get back to Hawaii
Who knows whether somebody actually •did• have Epstein murdered, Trump or otherwise. It’s likely we’ll never have either a smoking gun or a definitive rebuttal.
And that may not matter — I’m talking about •vibes•, about the Overton Window of conspiracy theories, about just how many people are so sick Epstein and Trump and all these people that they don’t need any more evidence to want all their legacies flushed down history’s toilet.

Trump on Sunday threatened military action against Colombia,
telling reporters that such an operation "sounds good to me."
"Colombia is very sick, too, run by a sick man, who likes making cocaine and selling it to the United States,
and he's not going to be doing it very long,"
Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One, in an apparent reference to Colombia's President Gustavo Petro.

A while back I got sick & tired of having loads of random micro-SD cards scattered around my desk, so I bought a nifty credit-card sized jewel case to keep them all in. It holds 16 cards and even has teeny tiny spaces to write a label so you can write what's on each.
I haven't actually needed a µSD card for a while but did at the weekend. And can I find this case which now holds ALL my cards? Can I buggery.
So I've gone from the state where I did to laboriously mount each card in turn to find out what's on it, to the state where I have no cards at all that I can find.

I share this because it’s important to understand that the impulse to turn to AI seems strongest when a worker is stretched thin, burnt out, sick, or otherwise unable to meet a deadline.
I’ve seen this before, and experienced it myself in 2024 / early 2025 before I quit using LLMs.
I think those of us who are against LLMs and want to reduce society’s dependence on these tools need to contend with that and look for solutions both for individual situations and on a larger scale.

I do hope I handled this situation alright.
I will reiterate to this person and everyone else I work with that I’d rather people tell me when they are sick and take time off. We can reassign work or negotiate new deadlines with clients. I don’t want people taking shortcuts and pressure themselves like this.
Say what you will about consumerism, but at least ripping people off is a form of having an actual relationship between human beings. An awful, sick relationship, but a relationship! Sales and marketing require that, at some level, you still view customers as people with thoughts and needs and desires and inner lives.
Now increasingly we run into things like the OP where even ripping people off is more acknowledgement of humanity than a company is willing to give.

One of my contractors used an #LLM for a first draft of a client deliverable today.
I don’t allow #AI use for any client-facing work (and try to prohibit it for internal work too, but it’s been… tricky). This person knows it - I’ve worked with them for years, and they are usually very thoughtful and wouldn’t take a shortcut like this. So seeing the obvious AI copy was very confusing.
Thankfully we had a call scheduled this morning, so I decided to handle it there.
The contractor showed up very obviously sick, they told me they took most of past week off but had to force themselves to finish this draft because the deadline is EOD. I asked if they used #AI to draft the document, they immediately confessed and apologized.
Since the deliverable is client-facing, I asked them to explain their ideas to me in conversational language and then used my notes of what they said to help them rewrite the document. We worked through the whole thing in an hour, and I’ve asked them to go rest and recover.

My husband and I have been sick with the flu and completely out of anything going on with society for the past week.
This time of illness has been worse than COVID - I showed up to urgent care last week with a 104.2 F (40.1 C) fever after sleeping for 22 hours straight.
I am still delirious and unable to keep track of meetings or emails, so trying to get caught up on work will be a struggle.

While trying to understand why the American middle class feels poorer each year despite healthy GDP growth and low unemployment,
I came across a sentence buried in a research paper:

I read it again.
Three times the minimum food budget.
