  • There’s a quote from HBO’s Chernobyl series:

    To be a scientist is to be naive. We are so focused on our search for the truth we fail to consider how few actually want us to find it. But it is always there whether we see it or not, whether we choose to or not. The truth doesn’t care about our needs or wants, it doesn’t care about our governments, our ideologies, our religions. It will lie in wait for all time. And this, at last, is the gift of Chernobyl. Where I once would fear the cost of truth, now I only ask: What is the cost of lies?

    All these fucking guys who’ve made monsters of themselves to pretend they’re our masters - they’ll all fail. Their lies are a patchwork of tapestries meant to hide from reality. The bigger it gets, the more it wants to fall. Pull a thread, watch it unravel.





  • Leaving aside the whole circle jerkular economics of AI, the pattern in tech companies has been:

    • devs start using AI
    • middle mgmt says cool but watch the security
    • CEO says increase productivity, reduce labor!
    • middle mgmt says but the cost, and competence…
    • HR cuts 10% here, 15% there, finance says spreadsheet happy
    • delivery suffers, quality suffers
    • AI cost skyrockets
    • middle mgmt says ayyy no bueno
    • CEO still doesn’t understand what AI is, says more more more
    • some AI generated script deletes PROD
    • there’s no backup, no recovery
    • costs are higher than ever, product is worth less than ever, and there’s no ‘company’ because there’s no team

    Can we make the CEO role redundant already? ‘One boss to rule them all’ is the fastest way into the fires of mount doom. Stupid fucks…

    Where are all those agile loraxes now? Why didn’t we listen to them about sustainable operations?

    Let’s say it again:

    📣 The diesel that Trump bought from Russia is diesel that Russia bought from Iran. $6.4B of US taxpayer money to fund two enemies killing our guys.

    To anyone who still supports this guy: Come on… He’s screwing you, stabbing friends in the back, stealing as much as he can for himself. Are you done yet?





  • For any Americans who are not aware, Russia doesn’t want to help you in any way.

    How does the largest country in the world have a GDP less than half of just California’s? Because they’re run by people who don’t create, they just endlessly kill and steal to enrich themselves.

    It would be great if Russians were free of this brainwashing mafia that pins them against the world. It would be great for all people to live in peace. But, until we figure out how to keep power out of evil hands, we’re all just trapped in a cage with armed psychopaths.
