Thanks! I’ll try longer showers.

If Utilitarianism is about maximizing overall benefit and minimizing harm, Trump is an Inutilitarian

but wait until he can’t find a good inflatable doll any longer…

I like the comparison. We used to think of the Economy like this hard-to-control, vital but occasionally dangerous natural force, like Gravity. The showerthought was that with the advent of machine models, money has started becoming sentient and making decisions without us.

Fair enough… I meant more in the sense of investment/pension funds. Or the fact that the actual value of the bills in our pockets is driven up or (more frequently) down and probably so does the interest rate of your mortgage or the price of your fuel. And maybe not for you, but the algorithms on social media do have influence on what company you choose for your insurance.

“people” buying ads? In 2035? What a delightfully vintage concept!

Fun fact: Nadella has been replaced with an AI agent a couple of months ago and nobody has noticed yet. “Copilot, while I’m away, generate bs on AI adoption and fire a bunch of employees, ok?”

which one ?

being the worst US president was too easy. Most of them were kinda decent people overall. Being the worst pope ever though… I guess he likes the challenge

Had they labelled them “Trump’s beautiful tariffs” it would have gone smoothly

I did read the article and indeed the content is about what you say. On the other hand, I don’t know if titling this as “Canada might be the second election Trump wins in six months” is an attempt at sarcasm, click-bait or spin (pretending not to know the number of people who will only ever read the title). It’s sad that I now I jump directly to believing the latter so I do hope that I’m wrong

prompt engineering does require skills. It’s just that, rightly or not, they are now seen by companies as foundational skills for a lot of jobs and worth investing in training for most employees (rather than hiring a team of prompt specialists).

Like if you work in certain roles you need to have good knowledge of spreadsheet software, you don’t go to your company’s “Excel guru”.

Sky news spin: haha, Carney was actually Trump’s win! I can’t make this shit up (but apparently Sky news can…)

I’ve seen the name now and you are right, Sorry, I’ve been superficial

And not any tattoos. On his body, of all places!

The title leaves out another gem in the second part of the sentence: “…and it’s only illegal because it comes from Latin America”.

Now it has it all, the science-defying stupidity, the nationalist undertones and the “other countries are not treating us fairly” hint.

The tragedy of our times is that there really is one in every village and now they discovered that if they band together they can elect one as President.

It means they double checked and the driver was definitely white

Like it or not (I don’t) the horrific immigration policies get a lot of support. Other countries are taking notice too.

Germany is considering removing German citizenship to dual passport holders if they are deemed “extremists” (but with no clear definition of what that means and how it would be determined).

Since before Trump 2, Italy has already had its own camp in Albania for immigrants and it’s share of friction with judges who said these deportations were illegal.

Also “let Russia have Ukraine, why do we care” has enjoyed the sort of support people are ashamed to admit but that translates to votes to all the worst politicians.

the joke was on law firms, not individual lawyers.

When you read about them on the news, they are usually associated with protecting the very rich from accountability, like the NFL Vs concussed players, Big Tobacco Vs people they knowingly gave cancer to or various Wall Street criminals.

to be fair, who could have predicted that insulting and damaging your best customers was a bad marketing strategy?
