Blocking The Internet Archive Won’t Stop AI, But It Will Erase The Web’s Historical Record

Imagine a newspaper publisher announcing it will no longer allow libraries to keep copies of its paper.  That’s effectively what’s begun happening online in the last few months. The Internet A…

#NASA used to have very little (I actually recall none) #CorporateBS on their platforms. They are still doing excellent work, but one has to try harder to find it in the noise.

Here is an article about the effects of radiation on Artemis astronauts. As a bonus, we get this animation of sunspots observed from #Mars, by #Perseverance 😍

There's a silver-lining to falling for corporate bullshit. You may not be the sharpest tool in the shed or any good at your job, but at least you'll worship your boss and enjoy your work.

"Workers who were more susceptible to corporate BS rated their supervisors as more charismatic and “visionary,” but also displayed lower scores on a portion of the study that tested analytic thinking, cognitive reflection and fluid intelligence. Those more receptive to corporate BS also scored significantly worse on a test of effective workplace decision-making. The study found that being more receptive to corporate bullshit was also positively linked to job satisfaction and feeling inspired by company mission statements. Moreover, those who were more likely to fall for corporate BS were also more likely to spread it."

Company: sends out company-wide email stating how important it is for everyone to keep their calendars current and to block out times of unavailability to help with scheduling.

Company leadership then schedules meetings with individuals that are in direct conflict with the lone blocked out time on the calendar that day.

It’s minor but it just pisses me off.

#WorkSucks #CorporateBS

In a company wide project kick off meeting and the term “AI integration” keeps sneaking in as a bullet point. Looks like business daddy has succumbed to the corporate marketing BS. #ai #yawn #CorporateBS

I did not know that Genesis owned Ecotricity. Adding 'brought to you by retailers of LPG, owners and operators of Huntly gas & Coal powerstation..' somewhat damages Ecotricity's '100% renewable, climate positive' slogan.

However it doesn't matter as Genesis is killing Ecotricity, along with Frank. (Sorry Frank but I don't know or care about you.)
