When you nearly miss the submission deadline for the performative misogyny olympics (genuine opinions only edition). Alsl the problem with everything is that there exist things which are not gambling or are insufficiently unnecessarily high stakes gambling.

I feel like calling it race pseudoscience inadvertently suggests the existence of legitimate race science.

This is why I absolutely cannot fucking stand creative work being referred to as "content". "Content" is how you refer to the stuff on a website when you're designing the layout and don't know what actually goes on the page yet. "Content" is how you refer to the collection of odds and ends in your car's trunk. "Content" is what marketers call the stuff that goes around the ads.

"Content"... is Whatever.

I was going to make a comment on the Stubsack thread about how it kind of ticks me off how "content creator" has permeated its way so deep into the vernacular. I can forgive it when it's used as a clumsy term to talk about creative workers across multiple media, but something like a video essayist calling another video essayist a content creator just gives me the ick. Have some pride and solidarity in your art form, for fuck's sake.

Also HP has so far had this kind of a reverse Midas touch where they turn every networking gear company they touch into HP.

Wendy O: Is this a generative AI collection? Not a fan of those. To me, it's not necessarily real art.
Another whale: They're not all the same.
Wendy O: I don't care. It takes away from the real artist.

Wow, look at the time. It's stopped o'clock!

The world was not ready. Or no longer ready.

Between the title of the show and one of the judges being a guy called Mario Narwhal I gotta ask, are coiners trying to reclaim the word "whale", as in a cash cow gambler/lifestyle goods consumer?

I have a Kubernetes cluster running my AI agents for me so I don't have to learn how to set up AI agents. The AI agents are running my Kubernetes cluster so that I don't have to learn Kubernetes either. I'm paid $250k a year to lie to myself and others that I'm making a positive contribution to society. I don't even know what OS I'm running and at this point I'm afraid to ask.

Tech support workers who may or may not speak English as a second language or with a strong accent can sometimes be of actual help and sometimes not, much like people with possibly more familiar accents can. A call center AI has never been anywhere close to solving a problem I've had.

You're no less fucked but instead of a human being getting underpaid for the trouble, a shitty tech corporation is overpaid.
