The proposal takes aim βat the actions of #bar associations & similar professional organizations, not government entities, that investigate alleged β #unethical conduct by #lawyers & consider actions such as #disbarment, which involves revoking a #license to practice #law [cuz, yeah, sane humans believe Rudolph Giuliani should still have legal authority /s].

Why is beekeeping unethical?

A few words about bees Bees feed on pollen, but honey is their only source of food in adverse weather conditions during the winter months, and it contains nutrients intended for their own consumption. Honey is also an insulating material for their hives. Bees visit up to 1,500 flowers in order to collect enough nectar [β¦]
You may have seen the story this week about an "AI" (LLM) bot that opened a pull request against the Python #matplotlib library. When the request was closed, the story was that the #bot posted aggressive condemnations of the maintainer(s) in the thread, particularly Scott Shambaugh, and then posted an article to a blog attacking him.
There's a lot of speculation about how much of that action was driven algorithmically vs manually instructed by the bot operator.
Anyway, so far so interesting. Lots of online media coverage of it, because it was novel.
But then, Ars Technica published an article about it. And Shambaugh read it, and posted that the second half of the article contained alleged quotes from him that he never said. The article appears to have been "AI"-generated, without any acknowledgement of that fact, which is not good for Ars' credibility.
Worse, Ars then quickly pulled the #article - silently. No mention of it left, no #apology to Shambaugh, no note to the readers of what they'd done.
That is absolutely #unethical in #journalism. It is unforgivable.
Ars was once a technical site with additional coverage of science and other geek-adjacent topics. Then it went commercial, was bought by a huge publishing conglomerate, and became a lot less technical.
But this is a slide too far. Unless they fix this, quick, I won't renew my subscription.

Today's job search matches:
* "AI"

* algorithmic trading

* weird non-engineering management role
* 3 x duplicate posting of the previous
* "innovative financial product", i.e. how to milk more fees from poor people
* Microsoft, Microsoft, Microsoft ... and laughably underpaid for a Principal Engineer role
* "FinOps and AI"
* "AI"
* Weirdly aggressive "If this isn't you, don't bother." at top of job description
* trying to replace human therapist with software
[...]
Every single one of those is in blatant contradiction with my personal ethical code, with the possible exception of the weird non-engineering role (which isn't described well) and the all-Microsoft shop one, which isn't my wheelhouse.
My industry has gone to shit.

#WillLewisβ tenure has been rocky from the start, marked by layoffs & a failed reorganization plan that led to the departure of former top #editor #SallyBuzbee.
His initial choice to take over for Buzbee, Robert Winnett, withdrew from the job after #ethical questions were raised about both he & Lewisβ actions while working in England. They include paying for info that produced major stories, actions that would be considered #unethical in US #journalism.
@JuxGD those are some good questions re: #Monero.
1. Obviously #XMR doesn't fluctuate extremely hard (it does have some peaks, but for the most part, it's pretty stable)
2. #Monero is in fact less harmful than all the other #Shitcoins by virtue of being anti-ASIC and running best on consumer devices.
3. All #capitalism is #unethical, but Monero being the closest to #DigitalCash makes it better than any #Shitcoin and allows #Sexworkers and others #discriminated and #debanked to recieve money.
Daniel Dale: "Here is our highly subjective list of Trumpβs top 25 lies of 2025.
We chose some because the president repeated them particularly often, some because they were about notably consequential topics, and some because they were especially egregious in their distance from reality":
