Word. I had a job that promised no more than 40 and my manager offered unofficial comp time for any overage. Then the economy slowed and they wanted to downsize, so fired me for working less than 40 hours one week a few months before.


You’re not wrong. It actually would make America great again.


I’m in. Let’s do this.


My gen Z kid was pretty excited because it seemed like AI had so much promise. Promise to do his homework for him. He since learned how he spends more time getting the right answers out of it than just doing the work himself.


It’s just scent bonding!

LOL that’s a lot of words with absolutely no meaning. It’s just posturing for the crowd, like a child.


As a leftist, I wish others would engage in critical, nuanced thinking instead of regurgitating the same calibre of tired, generic, thoughtless talking points we so often criticize the right for.
Yes, the right is a monolith all united under the single cause of repressing out groups. You’ve clearly nailed it.


My experience is exactly the book reproduction part when I used a LLM to help with a narcissist. I had no choice but to deal with them, for months. I was stressed and panicking from fending off constant attacks while undoing years of conditioning and abuse, raising two young kids, working, seeing a therapist, seeing a lawyer, and cramming self-help and communication books.
My lawyer suggested it. It picked the manipulation hidden in ‘reasonable’ requests and phrased things safely for me while I learned to do it myself. It did a good job, still better than I do. I was reading a few self help books and began noticing familiar phrases. It was reproducing sentences, sometimes closely paraphrased, sometimes verbatim. Like, a lot.
I feel a little bad because I probably used a bunch of water, but I got full custody. They had been doing a great job making me look like the crazy one until they started flipping out from me being calm and professional in response to their abuse instead of panicking and flipping out myself or shutting down. Sorry planet, thanks for the water, will do better next time.
Fucking corporate America. I was fired for having a disability, specifically and intentionally by my boss and her manager. Neither has any direct accountability - both were terminated as a result of the findings of a federal and state investigation, but the company will pay for the damages. They both failed upward, getting higher positions at other companies, while I’ve struggled to find employment, something already difficult due to the stigma of my age, disability, and gender, but now with word of my termination having spread through the quite small pool of people who work in my field.
