"Aspirational" budgeting practices are a form of employee abuse.
Seriously. They KNOW we can't meet them, so when we don't, they don't have to pay out bonuses or can even punish us for not hitting targets. Why is it allowed?
There’s a HURRICANE this weekend heading for Baja and Southern California. Folks, that is not in any way normal.
I may not live long enough to see the worst of the impacts of climate change, but I want to use my voice and platform today to urge action.
We can start by ending subsidies and investments into fossil fuels. Full stop.
More serious:
Just because chatGPT answers questions doesn't mean that it knows anything.
I'm not talking about "it might make a mistake" I'm talking about ... the way it constructs answers isn't based on knowing facts or any logical framework.
The only thing chatGPT cares about is that answers "sound like" they are correct and appropriate in context.
chatGPT is not an oracle, it's not even a search engine, it's not a wikipedia even... it's worse than all these. It's a verbiage engine.
As a kid I was scared of the dark.
One night, my mum asked me what was scaring me and I mumbled something about ghosts or monsters coming at night.
"Oh don't worry about those," she said. "The cats chase them way. That's why they're awake when we're asleep."
I've loved that idea ever since. That at some point ancient humans and cats struck a pact:
We feed them and provide them with places to snooze in daylight. They protect us from the things that lurk between worlds at night. #cats
