This was on a bumper car at the fair. Sure, it’s mathematically wrong, but also in bumper cars there is no first or last place. Also wrong version of “Your.” It’s almost impressive how much wrongness it packs into such a small space.

Bumper car bumper sticker: if you ain’t first your last.

I always think of this, particular when it's in subtitles.

Forcing employees to use AI that doesn't work for the sake of efficiency--which incentives employees to waste company resources to pretend they are using it--is some real Catch-22 (the novel) shit. The book should be required reading in schools. It's like the skeleton key for our absurd times.

"Tokenmaxxing," the idea held by some tech company executives that if employees are not maximizing their use of Al tools at work they are not being productive enough, has become common in the industry, with some bosses bragging about how they are spending more money on Al tool usage costs than actual human employees. This has resulted in a situation where some employees are running scripts that make it seem like they are using Al tools a lot to game metrics and appease their bosses, but the Al tools are not doing anything productive and are burning money and resources with no benefit to productivity.
One Amazon employee said they "cheated" their way up Amazon's internal Al usage leaderboard after they were told in a performance review that they're not using Al enough at work. They told me it was trivial to do so. I'm not providing exact details of how this employee cheated in order to protect their anonymity, but essentially employees can automatically prompt the Al tools with an endless series of tasks that have nothing to do with their job.

Your tax dollars at work, to keep your energy costs high.

The deal is an extraordinary transfer of taxpayer dollars to a foreign company for the purposes of boosting the production of fossil fuels, a main driver of climate change, while throttling offshore wind power. It comes as the war in the Middle East has shocked global oil markets, prompting concerns about energy supplies.
