That and the entire purpose of AI is to reduce agency, which is arguably the single most important factor in job–if not life–satisfsction.

It’s like being shackled to an annoying and incompetent younger cousin for a summer and being held responsible for all the problems they cause while they reap all praise and rewards for anything they happen to do right. Your parents float the idea of adopting the cousin and disowning you. Oh, and the cousin’s parents are yhe Koch brothers.

And education, health care, sports, food production, food consumption, technology, energy…Is anyone noticing a trend? This is the real Touch of Midas.

Time to close the barn door now that all the animals have escaped

Think of the recurring opportunity for emails about price increases and downstream shareholder value!

2009 will look like a fairytale compared to housing collapse in NV and AZ.

CA will just desalinate and be fine, TX the same.

Yes, a company I worked for did. They were a mission-driven org that was established to reduce poverty in historically disadvantaged groups. Along the way they, like many mission-driven orgs, became so poorly managed that their employees got pissed at them and decided to form a union.

In the mortgage collapse that drove the world economy to the brink, the ratings agencies were rating dogshit in catshit as AAA, they certainly didn’t give it something more appropriate like BBB-. There was a good scene where Burry (played by Carrell) went to fitch and asked them why they hadn’t changed the rating on the MBS(shit sandwich) when the underlying mortgages were worth zero.
