On the one hand we can reduce traffic and the time people need to waste traveling to and from work. On the other hand, this guy can’t keep track of his co-workers whose work has nothing to do with him.
all the team is in Paris and he’s not. They don’t give a fuck what he says.
That’s a leadership problem, not a remote work problem. You handle it remotely the same way you would in person.
People think AI is great for subjects they are not experts in. Experts will say AI is trash for their area of expertise.
AI is really good at sounding smart to the unknowledgeable.
Snake Oil Salesman doesn’t want people criticizing Snake Oil.
This isn’t about saying “return the original text” this is about assuming LLMs understand language, and they don’t. Telling an LLM “don’t do these things” will be as effective as telling it “don’t hallucinate” or asking it "how many 'r’s in ‘strawberry’.
And an LLM will convert a prompt into a bunch of tokens the model can understand.
And petulant child methods. “I’m going to make my OWN UN, then everyone has to do what I say!”
He didn’t even think it through that much. His thought process was:
“The UN won’t let me do what I want. I’m going to make my own UN with me in charge so I can do anything I want.”
“The UN I’m making is so awesome because I’m in charge, I should charge people to join.”
“The King of France was mean about my super awesome UN, I’m going put tariffs on him! What does France sell? Wine and Champaign.”
Thoughts 2 and 3 are completely unconnected. If you spent 10 minutes explaining the connection to him he’d think “I’m smarter than I thought, either way I get money!”
“just tell your LLM not to do that”
You ever ask an LLM to modify a picture and “don’t change anything else”? It’s going to change other things.

A lot of Trump’s power comes from the support of the oligarchs. Shutting everything down hurts them, and shows class solidarity which scares the shit out of them.
It will scare the shit out of the oligarchs that are proping up Trump, the last thing they want to see is class solidarity.
The problem with Munchkin is it is fine as a short game. Unfortunately to only strategy is to make the game longer by preventing someone else from winning. If it lasted a set number of rounds and then whomever was the highest level won it would be a better game.
and feel terrible that the rest of the world has to deal with the bullshit that a third of our country and half our political system has voted for
And that energy needs to be directed at reducing and preventing the bullshit. Apologizing to Greenland does nothing for the bullshit they have to deal with.
you’re allowed to be defensive
You say this, and then you criticize them for being defensive.
If someone walks up to you and says you’re a piece of shit, responding with “You’re a piece of shit! It’s inappropriate to call people pieces of shit!” Does not actually improve the situation and is a little bizarre.
Then you follow-up with criticizing them for being defensive after you called them a piece shit in return and it’s just weird.
And they didn’t walk up to you. You went into the “Fuck the USA” community and are clutching your pearls that you heard someone say “Fuck the USA.” What were you expecting to find here?
Right, you got all defensive when they asked what Americans are doing, then complain that they got all defensive when you asked what they are doing. It’s the exact same thing but for some reason it’s okay when you do and unacceptable if someone else does it.
What I am doing is calling out specific users painting 340 million people with a broad brush while remaining completely silent on their own country.
Somehow taking the basic precaution of not associating my real world resistance with what I post on this platform automatically makes me a complacent sheep.
Do you not see it?
the same way I don’t make comments on the state of EU politics.
You mean like
touching the subject of what they can personally ask their country to do to “FuckTheUSA”.
You’re literally ranting at people complaining that they are doing the thing that you then proceeded to do yourself. It’s okay when you do or don’t do something, but that doesn’t extend to anyone beyond yourself.
Just shows how fundamentally ingrained it is in Trump’s head that he thinks he’s King and can dictate what everyone in his country does. He does not understand that any government doesn’t have that power.
•Whites becoming a minority
•Gender not being a fundamental way of organizing society
These two points can be simplified down to “their hierarchies being disrupted.”
People who have gotten so used to living with privilege that equality feels like oppression. They believe that to give others a bigger piece of the “treat people well” pie their piece needs to become smaller. They don’t understand that you can just make the pie bigger.
I don’t want to hear from anyone who’s reading headlines from halfway around the world and dismissing my experiences (“just do something”)
Once again Rules for Thee, Not for Me.
And this is why other people are done with apologies from Americans.
I should just save myself time and bookmark my previous post to link to. It’s always the same two responses:
Not if Americans are just waiting for it “to pass.”
