Basically AI allows software engineers to produce shitty code *faster* and in higher volumes which increases the amount time spent on code reviews and revisions nullifying the productivity gained from producing the code in the first place.

Holy shit you guys there are so many things to see in this video. My favorite detail is one I recognize from studying Curiosity’s landing sequence. The vehicle rolls alternately left and right to control its lift as it enters the atmosphere in order to target its landing range

The UK-based IWF, which monitors abuse material globally, said it had assessed 6,310 AI images that met the legal definition of child sexual abuse, 40% higher than last year’s total of more than 4,500.

UBI is a floor. It's a dividend. It's not about replacing jobs. It's about making sure everyone has a non-zero floor to stand on and never fall beneath, and it makes sure that everyone benefits from productivity growth. And it is about enabling everyone to *choose* what they work on, paid or not.

A view of two orange cats in one cat bed together in front of a window. One orange cat (Rudie) takes up most of the foreground, while the other orange cat (Rosie ) is only visible from nose up on the other side of him. Both are looking toward the camera. There are some house plants to the right.

Here's a lovely pic of the tiny witch homunculus (a tiny green fabric art homunculus with twinkly red eyes and a little frown), sitting on the shoulder of a plastic skeleton, who is sitting on a crow statue. There's another crow statue beside them. The skeleton is patting his crow buddy on the head.
