  • I wish we could have a union at my job. I do data science stuff and I’m borderline incompetent at it, I think a union would really help me out and protect me. I want what the police have where they can be terrible but still have nice jobs. And I don’t want to get laid off. And it would be nice if there was some guarantee that I could work from home forever. And I want a raise. And if I have to go into the office for big meetings, I want the rest of the day off. And I already don’t work Thursday or Friday but I want that to be official. And it would be nice if nobody could send me slack messages until noon because sometimes they wake me up.




  • Smart. People can still rent out an extra room, but can’t squat on an apartment solely for Airbnb.

    That’s how airbnbs were when I’ve used them in the past, things like a place where you can sleep on someone’s couch, or a house with a spare room you can crash in. Those kinds of arrangements were way cheaper than hotels and very appealing.


  • How is an AI trained on an artists painting, any different from a person who looked at that painting in art school? It’s not like the AI contains all of its training data; you can prove that from the file sizes.

    I’m all for what the article advocates, but it’s kind of like publishing a book and saying “you have a license to read this, but not to learn anything from it”

    I’m afraid this is going to turn out like “a new contract for typewriter repairmen in the age of laptop computers”
