We had something similar where I work (although less invasive than this wild shit), and it got me thinking.

For jobs that don't have a clear ceiling, or a clear list of contained tasks, it's hard to measure output, and it's hard to know if you've successfully replaced a person with automation. For instance, how well is the marketing department doing.

The bosses have heard so much about AI, they want that perceived competitive advantage. But they can't really simply eliminate these jobs. So what they're looking for is AI-powered employees because they believe that will maximize their output.

Most employees can't actually get anything good out of AI, especially if they're competent at other technologies like excel, but the boss WILL not hear that. They will only hear that some of their employees are unwilling or unable to harness the competitive potential of AI. That suddenly means that every employee has a strong incentive to present their labor as AI-enhanced. To exaggerate how much it helps them. To make the boss think they've at least reached parity with their competition.

AI productivity has become a self-reinforcing myth in nearly our whole society.

it's fucking weird, he means it as in like... people being excited about investing in America, and shit like that. In other words the exact opposite of what he's doing, which is driving a scramble of disinvestment in US trade

No you're right. At the beginning of this most recent fiasco, Grok was talking about Elon in the first person and saying it hadn't met Ghislaine Maxwell other than a "photobomb"

Yeah I believe what is going on is that all these AIs know how to say Nazi shit and make crazy sexual threats, but they have all these (fairly) strong protections against accessing that data. When Elon force-fed it these prompts to stop being "woke" or whatever, it was an admin-level prompt, which essentially turned off all the safety features that normally hold this back.

And because right wingers intentionally don't differentiate between like, "I don't want to do a land acknowledgement" and "I want to say heil hitler", there really isn't a practical or at least easy way to get Grok to hit the exact Overton window that Elon wants it to hit.

Former Biden staff have absolutely zero credibility here - if they would cover up and deny one, they would cover up and deny the other.

These are the same types of people and same incentive structure that brought you Diane Feinstein and Gerry Connolly. They were trying to drag his warm body over the finish line just in time for him to die in office.

They're claiming they JUST found out about his cancer. It's already spread from his prostate into his bones. Horse shit. The decline in his already thoroughly compromised faculties around the time of the debate? Where he went from doddering confused fool all the way to a drooling corpse? It was some kind of aggressive cancer treatment, mark my fucking words.

I'm so sick of how people talk about the manufactured border crisis - even people who are good on this topic don't seem to really explore how stupid this all is, and how Joe Biden and the Democrats helped midwife this extrajudicial torture regime.

 

Early votes are still incoming and may narrow this margin, but so far it's looking very good for Alex Brower, the DSA candidate for Milwaukee City Council
