The history book is excellent. It’s so interesting to see how society changes over time, and all the power games. Wow, they were violent though.

I have the same design patterns book. It’s actually more difficult than the C++ book. But it makes more sense now that I’m using C++ (I tried reading the design patterns book when I was just using JavaScript and it was harder to imagine how to implement the ideas).

Grains of sand

But how does an AI come to run a company in the first place? A CEO has to be replaced by an AI. What does that process look like in the first place?

AI will be capable enough to replace overpaid CEO’s.

How would this play out? The shareholders pay off the current CEO to implement an AI-CEO and step aside?

It’s pure grift.

I don’t know what the style is. But the artist is @badmaddog on Instagram. Maybe they can say?

It’s aware that it’s over the top, and it leans into it.

Also reading some books about C++ and object oriented design patterns.

Maybe the boss said, “Remove wordwrap in headline text for this post.”

Bring back ostentatious codpieces for the dudes

They never went away in my house.

No they’re not, guy. I aggressively dismiss any legal vomit that claims they are.

I don’t care what Altman said. These are megacorporations using buzzwords. No need to mutilate ourselves into idiotic commercials for them.

It’s not a ‘bromance’ if they’re not dudes. They are companies.

Found the guy from the heater + aquarium + massagepad + paper + coffee + toilet paper + soap + HVAC +sugar lobby!

They are going to regret this.

I really hope they do. But now is a good time to put the squeeze on devs. Lots of people are having a hard time finding a software job and they’ll be extra reluctant to do a mass exodus.

Why do you need curtains on your windows?

To make sure the whole world isn’t just a window for the HR department. I can have “dissident” views, or just talk trash with my friends, and not get fired since it wasn’t at the office.

To make sure real dissidents (from totalitarian countries) can express their political views.

So a lady can send her husband feet pics without some secret agent spy gawking at them too.

So I can share my family’s secret BBQ sauce recipe with my cousin without Arby’s stealing it (they have eyes everywhere).

But these are all specific things. The truth is that we simply cannot trust institutions with all our data. I don’t need a reason for privacy. They need a reason to have my info. Security is a legit reason to seek citizens’ info, generally, but you should need a specific security-related reason to access a specific person’s data.

Understood, thanks!

The videos are AI because I don’t have any money. The novel is written by myself, me, a human being who has no money because I spent the last three years writing a novel.

Edit:

the voice is also me, a human, who spent months huddled in a closet narrating the audiobook version.
