By your logic, the pre-school daycare worker at Raytheon should be just as much of a targeted threat as the fighter pilot dropping ordinance in a war zone.

A worker, is hired to mount some shit on a pole. At least try and grasp that’s ALL a flock camera install is instead of assuming a field installer should carry their entire weight of unconstitutional behavior on THEIR backs. There are better ways to fight mass surveillance than to attack the one who had nothing to do with it. Thats how innocent workers end up dead in the streets.

So, those who were making "bank" managed to secure the kind of raise that makes military fodder laugh (not an easy feat), while the workers making under $50K were discovered to be essentially slave labor?

Why does 1.25% sounds like a 3% raise adjusted for union costs?

Regarding the bottom rung, if your raise amounts to more than 30% after negotiations, you didn't need a union lawyer. You more needed a criminal attorney. Or enough common sense to know when YOU the grown-ass employee are responsible for at least glancing at a pay scale** from this century and quitting when you realize the cleaning crew in the building are making more than you are.

** - We literally made an entire website for that. And we literally called it salary (as in dot-com).

Guess that depends on the kind of overhead it takes to run many smaller unions. Whatever that's supposed to be.

Honestly I thought the entire point of a union was to demonstrate that you are in fact a union. Not a bunch of employees running around in their union "cliques" cosplaying as a union pretending to have power.

What exactly defines a “gig” amount of hours worked to define the “gig driver”, and is there a reason this bill doesn’t define the gig worker instead of just those with a job behind a steering wheel?

Pretend your answers are being defending in a courtroom. Because that’s where the next gig might be.

Side note: I hope those arguing for more protections do not price themselves right out of the market. It’s going to be a PPV amount of irony to hear about THAT phone call..

(Gavin Newsom) ”Yo, Elon my man! Hey listen..I know we’ve had a couple of creative differences over the years, but I’m gonna need 374,000 of those cybercabs of yours here by December..Yes. That many. Yeah, the meatsack-free version..All of them..Yeah, I KNOW we just did that but our budget is going vegan next year..”

Because Mercury is also known as the ancient Roman God of Trickery?

Or maybe it's because Mercury is also known as the ancient Roman God of Financial Gain, and perhaps society was Trickery'd into thinking the guy pimping "mercury" thermometers deserved all the moniez?

(If we think society can't be Trickery'd that easily, centigrade was perfectly acceptable until some narcissist named Celsius got a little too jealous of that spotlight whore named Fahrenheit getting all the thermometer fame and glory..)

Why do I get this feeling somewhere a beekeeper named Patches is emptying AK mags into the apiary air yelling ”If you can dodge a bullet..”

You are not confused.

The clickshitsell headline wants you to believe a new 6 billion dollar fly-man was just born. Who can play Doom, which is apparently the new Rorschach test in any cyborg system.

The reality looks more like the AI CLI command “IQ bandwidth 30” with the result of something more like Doom-scrolling.

Is it? When physical borders become damn near become secondary to digital borders, the concept of a firewall ultimately becomes a component of National Security.

Firewalls are sold all day every day without a license, dictatorship, or age restriction. Many a cybersecurity professional have chosen to block entire IP ranges at the network edge devices for one reason. And it's not because a (cough) border firewall needs to channel its inner Mussolini.

If running outbound limiting rules is considered a dictatorship now, then I can't imagine the kind of military approval someone is going to need to deploy the psychological torture device known as an IDS.

Oh, the irony of AI being smart enough to turn around and tell the grifters to knock the stupid shit off already.

Fun things will happen when the smartest person in the room is no longer human.

And when I say fun things, I mean Skynet.

Not capable of what? Reading?

The classic “script kiddie” should have started World War 3 about 897 times by now if the step-by-step threat was that critical. A 14-year old would find learning how to budget AI tokens is harder to do than following a recipe out of the Anarchist Cookbook. Which happens to be a mayhem 101 guide (available on Amazon! Get yours today!) so old even the Unabomber would have felt old-fashioned browsing it.

Sorry. Just made me laugh wondering if Anthropic can tell the difference between someone talking shit, and someone talking shit.

I take this is supposed to be the feature to help those who perpetually suffer from

"Wait..wut?"

(Yeah. That stupid shit.)

Do you honestly think..that the entity known as Google..that has survived corporate America since last century..knows fuck-all about the concept of red tape?

I'm pretty sure they're experts in that shit by now.

Yeah, but that unlocked the YouTube channel level called Mystery Patch Theatre 3000..

Yes, but only the patches.

They found vibe-coding the core code only created..more patches.

Which someone finally bitch-slapped the shit out of the marketeer who was selling that crap as a good thing.
