On the one hand, I can always appreciate it when the tyrants of our time say the quiet part out loud--why bury the lede? On the other hand, it'd be nice if these asshats stopped making decisions for me... I don't gamble with your money; stop gambling with mine. 😒

We gotta start referring to data centers by both their mother and father's last names, Spain style. The Microsoft-Chevron data center, the Meta-ExxonMobil data center, and so forth. Absolutely no reason just the tech bros should be taking the heat on this shit

I suspect that we'll see a lot more articles like this in the coming months and years... it's an attempt at normalization. Ironically, only true artists can use this technology in a way that can compete with honest craft. 🤷

I don't love the merger, but (giving the devil his due), the C-Suite prefers profit over ideology. Remember, Fox aired The Simpsons, Family Guy, American Dad, Bob's Burgers, etc., alongside the bigoted grift they call "news". Their attempts at propaganda will be leashed by the dollar.🤷‍♂️

Yeah. Like the iced coffee discourse highlights something important: arbitrary rules in hiding are bad. They don't really determine whether someone is qualified or not for a position. They're at best vague vibes based judgements that have no hard evidence to back up.

One of the biggest failures of our education system is valuing data over process... Figuring out *how* to do something is VASTLY more useful than simply having the answer. Even the best tools become a crutch in lazy hands.

Might take some old(ish) short stories I wrote and make YouTube audio/video books... Not sure how they'll do, but it'd be nice narration and production practice. Maybe I'll get lucky and people will fall asleep to it. A view is a view. 🤷‍♂️😅
