Companies make record profits but do mass layoffs anyway because the stock value, which is how executives really get paid, is more important, and the market reflexively rewards layoffs.

Eventually, the company can't function anymore. But then it just gets sold off and the executives walk away with a golden parachute.

Life goes on for everyone except the ordinary people who used to work there or depended on their product.

A really good reminder that, especially in the US, our lives aren't representative of everyone's, and getting out, talking to people, experiencing things and having empathy are not only educational, but a good time.

My last post showed you the worst part of receiving comments as an artist. Thank you so much for your supportive comments, I'm alright.

Today I want to counterbalance and show you the best part. Look at this :blobcatheart: .

@cwebber In the near future, people will acquire taste in the same way they acquire money: by getting it from their rich parents

@hagen TikTok did unionize (worker’s council) in Germany in 2022 and it was met with heavy resistance internally (company sued). I think being in an union is still seen as something for blue collar workers so tech leads, managers and most tech personnel see themselves as above that. It’s incredibly hard to get people in tech and gaming to join their union (I tried) and I believe it’s a mix of ignorance, knowledge gaps, and arrogance.

Generative AI may have more uses than its critics allow, but the ethical quagmire isn't merely how you use it.

The best way to acquire taste is to mine from the efforts of people who did go through all the hard efforts to develop taste. And at that point you should mock them relentlessly for still "doing things the hard way". Then you can wonder why everything is getting so boring. Why is it happening

I don't mean to be mean, I'm glad the author started to realize their mistakes, but this comment on lobste.rs where the author realizes oh no, actually their writing *has* become bland because they've been spending all this time just talking to agents and now they sound like one, is just the most perfect thing you can read given the context imo https://lobste.rs/s/4qfkrz/taste%5Fis%5Fall%5Fs%5Fleft#c%5Fav5d9g

You definitely don't acquire, develop, refine taste through experience, failure, experimentation. That's just a bonkers idea

Taste is what drives you. But you used to have to go through years of not being able to fulfill the things you wanted to do, just ask Ira Glass. The cost of producing things is now zero, so it's just taste. Where do you get taste? Maybe you're born with it. Maybe it's Maybelline

“Stop making me choose between far-right and far-left” - “Centrists”

We don’t really have a “far-left” in this country as compared to the rest of the world.

But, if the choice for you between prison camps without due process for hated minorities and universal access to healthcare in the USA is a difficult one, then you already side with the far-right in your moral bankruptcy.
