AI slop can be bad but this Bradley doesn’t understand that businesses exist to make money.

This is generally done by making a quality product, not a pile of shit.

You can get awry with selling people shit, if you charge shit prices. But the kind of assholes described in the article are gonna try to sell shit at AAA prices. Then they are gonna blame their team for not AIing hard enough.

This is how you know the Navy isn't like Star Trek.

Shot in officer involved shooting?

Shot by a police officer.

Yea, this guy tap-dances well, but if he wasn't lying to Congress right there, ill eat my hat.

As I understand it, these sweatshop jobs do resist the standard of living in the areas they are in. The people there don't have the option to work a job that we would consider good. They work the job we consider terrible, and they get paid more than they would doing other jobs.

To make a moral judgement, we must balance between "terrible working conditions, no protections, maximum wealth extraction," on the one hand, and "no infrastructure, no job, no money" on the other. Sadly, there is no profit in making the world better for everyone.

Are you using the US or China as your "here?" Because I don't think it's quite that bad in the US, but I don't think anyone blames the voters in China.

I think it refers to being being out at work, or at a major event.

If I shit myself at work, I'm going home. I'm not coming back, either.

If I'm out hiking, same again.

If i'm running errands, I might have to go back out to finish them. The groceries aren't gonna buy themselves, and now I really have to do the laundry.

Narrator: he did not, in fact, know what the hell he was doing.

I mean, I'm not 100% opposed to some of the things he claims he's trying to accomplish. But I'm not what you'd call an expert on the topic, and I might have some bad ideas about how the economy works. But even if I'm not barking up the wrong tree, the things he's doing are not how you accomplish the things he says he wants to accomplish.

Why do we keep electing stupid old men to office?

Right. They are just gonna let anyone sell anything.

My wife is artsy, and I'm sciency. Maybe we can go into snake oil.

Ah, you forget the alternative. Instead of quicker review, we could just reduce oversight, and remove safety regulations.

Agreed, but that was kind of the premise of the discussion, I think.

Unless you have a keylogger installed.

of course he ducking does. If he didn't, the court would have to try to impose some kind of penalty, and they know as well as any of us that they have no actual power to do so.

Ten gets you twenty that the man in question is already a corpse. Probably been dead since the judge ordered him returned. If it ever comes to it, it will be revealed that he died in an accident, and the courts will take a moment to wag their finger at Trump.

And that will be that.

In in a similar boat. All I can do is bail as hard as I can.

This sounds like the guy who suggested "virgin edibles" as an idea worth trying out.

Or, to rephrase it, "food."

Bones in the Ocean hurts me in ways that it has no business doing so.

I've never suffered a loss of any great magnitude. I've never even been to sea, though I desperately wish I had been.

Some people just process these things better by forcing themselves to put them into words. Journals, for some people are not written to be read, but to be written.

I was like they in high school. Wrote out my thoughts. Lose-leaf paper in my binder with me other school stuff, so they didn't survive more than a few months. But the writing was the point. No-one was ever going to read them, not even me.

And the leadership is vigorously poking holes in the bottom.

And older millennials, in some cases.

if you have legitimate concerns about the government coming after you, you simply do not keep a diary. At all. Not even one where you promise not to write anything incriminating.
