Breaks are unpaid because that was another way to minimize what workers have to be paid.

Businesses always look for ways to pay their employees less and only change practices when forced.

Without strong unions and support from politicians things tend to get worse and worse.

Too bad that we have neither.

Schools - and some businesses - see getting up early as some kind of achievement, a trait to be proud of. A thought that was mirrored in the influencer scene with the insane ‘grindset’ videos. Get up early and get done more than the others… Completely ignoring that the amount of sleep we need doesn’t change with how early you get up.

Some people get up early and have no problem with that, but that’s not the case for everyone. In the dawn of time, it was better to have some people who get up early and some who prefer to stay up late: that way the tribe was better protected because the time where everyone was sleeping was minimized.

Now everyone who biologically tends to be more productive when they can work late and get up late is painted as lazy and forced to work against their inner clock.

Oh it trickles down. Just not money, but at least it’s warm and golden 🙏

Won’t somebody think of the shareholders!

Every time someone pirates a game, a shareholder is a little bit further away from their third private jet!

How can you sleep at night?!?

Well, sounds like “mission accomplished”

Elon got what he wanted: a right wing AI. Now it’s just missing the subtly of most modern Nazis while in polite society and Elon has what he wants.

Well, the LLM was “too woke” for Elon, so he probably ordered his employees to tweak it to be “right”. And it looks like he was successful. Now as fascist as his owner.

I would say don’t visit the USA, but he was a citizen. Crazy.

All programs can be written with on less line of code. All programs have at least one bug.

By the logical consequences of these axioms every program can be reduced to one line of code - that doesn’t work.

One day AI will get there.
