THIS.

When I start getting messages from people empowered to make hiring decisions, wanting to talk to me directly, then I'll know things are really bad.

Hasn't happened yet.

(The closest it has ever come was when I went straight from telling a recruiter "I'm interested" to getting a job interview, and then the job immediately after. That happened in 1997 and 1999, during the dot-com bubble.)

@researchbuzz She isn't worth your future shame ;-)

Ok, less depressed now!

YES YES YES YES DarkSky International now has templates for YOU to refuse sunlight reflected from orbit! Templates for declarations of non-consent, model ordinance for cities and towns, a model state bill, and an international adaptation guide https://darksky.org/news/say-no-to-sunlight-for-sale/

SHARE WIDELY. Bring these templates to your towns and cities! Make it clear Reflect Orbital is not wanted anywhere!!!

@researchbuzz I wish more of them made fun of her views rather than just her age, but... well, she is certainly among the more deserving of whatever form of ridicule happens to be available. One does what one must, in these trying times.

@artemis This reminds me of "I don't care who started it" in grade school. Assuming that it doesn't matter means that there's no accountability for "starting" things.

@gildilinie Artificial Delegation -- can kick cans and pass the buck 100000x faster than a human (and with sometimes almost as much accuracy)!

Never forget who owns them now. 🔥

"This meeting could have been an email -- by which I mean the kind that nobody can do right now."

@stux Welcome to Club Totally Unaffected By This Nonsense! ^.^

@truthout_rss_bot To my mind, threats are an additional reason to investigate.

Hi Mastodon!
My name is Keiko, I make art and am based in Brazil. I am not new to the Fediverse, but new to posting in Mastodon! This is my first post here :)
This is a drawing I made after reading The Tombs of Atuan, by Ursula K. Le Guin (she's one of my favourite authors!)
I'd be happy to hear tips to help me get started here, I am looking forward to be more active on the fediverse <3 Thanks in advance!

@shadowfals Yay! I'll be keeping my eyes peeled for more info.

After the revolution, can we please do something about the way psych treatment facilities always assume that people need to be cut off from their online social networks please.

I've known 3 people who went into facilities over the past decade or so, and this part of it was actively harmful for all three of them.

@shadowfals If usage is itself harmful, then yeah.

In a sane world, there would be funding to study the psych effects of LLM usage. Until then...

TLDR: What a mess.

@StillIRise1963 Kings can only keep one thing up at a time, would be my theory.

@naga I'd guess 1970, but it could have been 1972.

The only reason I remember any of it, really, is that I also had a set of Disney picturebook hardbacks which included stills from a lot of the movies then extant.
