Good. Everyone deserves a union.

I do hope they do good things for the greater good of humanity though, which is historically what Google devs have unionized over seeing as they most certainly aren't hurting for money.

As an office IT guy, a vast majority of office jobs could be done by nearly anyone. If they just stopped requiring a college degree to do those jobs and trained people, I think the vast majority of office work will be done

That being said, HR would rather import people with H1Bs, drastically under pay them, and create another layer of class division but separating themselves from the brown people offices to work at the new executive offices or do full WFH forever then admit a college degree was always a class tax to move from working to might class.

I'm a fan generally of LLMs for work, but only if you're already an expert or well versed at all in whatever you're doing with the model because it isn't trust worthy.

If you're using a model to code you better already know how that language works and how to debug it because the AI will just lie.

If you need it to make an SOP then you better already have an idea for what that operation looks like because it will just lie.

It speeds up the work process by instantly doing the tedious parts of jobs, but it's worthless if you can't verify the accuracy. And I'm worried people don't care about the accuracy.

Personally I'm a huge fan of the Alcoholics Anonymous understanding of "god" and I think it applies more widely.

In AA it is supposed to be A-religious so as to accommodate as many people as possible. To them, god is whatever higher power you need to put your faith into to do better. An entity who you are striving to make proud or you are asking for guidance or help, etc.

This genericized god idea kinda gives up the game to me as an atheist, but it doesn't mean it's bad. In fact it's made me believe in god as an idea.

There are plenty of studies on "manifesting" goals and how saying out loud to yourself or to someone at all substantially increases your chance of succeeding in your goal. This is just prayer or a magic spell or whatever else you wanna call it. I call it a ritual.

The fact that god is a made up idea has been uncontested in my mind for eons, however the psychological power of a belief in god is new to me and makes me appreciate the systems of religion more (doesn't excuse a lot of their bullshit).

"Drive backwards on the track"

That's literally the first thing people do in racing videogames. That would have been SECONDS

Yes it was way better than watching him play Atari Joust for 30 minutes but still!

It needs way more gawdy neon color palettes.

I swear half these people with blogs pick the most aggressive bright pink and greens when building their websites from scratch for the first time and then just stick with it!

Couple things

  1. Start applying for things you're not sure and you know you aren't qualified for. Often recruiters or HR people don't actually know what the fuck the job needs and just sorta copies similar job titles recs. Once you're able to talk to the actual hiring manager, then you can see if you're a good culture fit and if they can give you some on the job training.

  2. Get a job at something not really what you wanna do but feels related enough. For me, my big break into my career was working at a call center for a hospital. It was not IT related, but it got me office experience that I spun into IT experience.

That was among the most brain rot tier shit I've ever seen.

Try some range time with both and see what is more comfortable to you while shooting.

It's important to try it while shooting because that's when it matters.

The best punishment is undoing their damage and teaching their sins to future generations as a warning.

And using their Graves as a gender neutral bathroom when we wanna scratch the sadistic justice itch
