If I was an editor I’d leave it in too. I can take the embarrassment of admitting I didn’t proof read every article in order to embarrass some asshat using LLMs to generate slop news.

We’re rapidly approaching a world where entire conversations happen without readers or writers, yet somehow count towards KPIs.

You come at my gleaners you best not miss

Very nice. More democracy.

?

So hard to choose… but that’s a flammy for me, too.

Just remember that “the economy” really stands for “rich people’s yacht money” – by that metric it’s doing great.

Oh fuck

We used to say the same thing about Messenger.

Time to teach your friends and family that if they’re going to keep playing on the corporate intranet then they need to migrate from time to time to stay ahead of the tide of enshitification.

Or they could join the free internet that is actually by and for people, but far be it from me…

Yeah I guess I should stop ascribing any kind of communalist value systems to them. The like of you and I aren’t in the group they consider their community.

Ds9? I don’t watch shows anymore, though I like remembering it

The underwater episode is great though, tbf

Also isn’t it so petty to admit you (would) move because you don’t want to shell out your bit for your community? Like isn’t that incredibly cheap? Don’t you like living in New York? Don’t you like your city?

It’s like the rich guy passing on the collection plate at church type move.

Right? It’s like oh didn’t we used to have a serial killer problem? Where did they all go?? Ummm

Just in case you thought you could believe any of their self-reporting. They will always lie to protect themselves.

I certainly wouldn’t know what this could possibly be referring to since I’m on a yacht and have just taken some very powerful amnestics. As far as I know I’ve never been on the internet.

There are a bunch of people here wearing baby masks. They all have hammers, which is odd because as I said we’re on a very large (expensive) yacht.

It’s the bear all over again innit

Why do you assume the least charitable assumption? It’s good advice in appropriate contexts

I’ve heard much the same thing from the world of biz. People think the CEO is the ultimate dictator in the corpo world, but you don’t get to that position without being useful to the upper classes and financial automations. The moment you start going out of sync with those forces is the moment you will feel you “power” rapidly decreasing.

It’s only the power to enunciate the will of capital. Never to act against it.
