okay. controversial opinion time

this was all extremely dickish troll behavior but i don't think A PRISON CAMP is necessarily the most rehabilitative experience. punitive justice doesn't fucking work and nobody deserves to be put through A PRISON LABOR CAMP regardless of how much of an annoyance they were being

in an ideal world there would mechanisms in place to educate this fuckhead without needlessly traumatizing and brutalizing him. sensitivity training. cultural education. empathy and dignity. true justice that will actually change his behavior

but prison camp? i bet he's gonna come outta this twice as much an enormous douchebag

⁨⁨April 15 is Steal Something from Work Day!

Bosses, landlords, and billionaires steal from us continuously. It's not just wage theft—they've robbed us of the entire world, reducing everything to private property, commodities, or wreckage.

Snatching back what we can is fair play. In 2026, as underpaid workers burn down warehouses and carry out direct attacks on employers, Steal Something from Work Day is the moderate option.⁩

"Does your boss work less than you but take home a bigger paycheck? Is someone flying around in a private jet at your expense? If they profit while you struggle to make ends meet, they’re not paying you the full value of your labor.

"So if you need something in the workplace—take it. You earned it!"

There's one very important thing I would like everyone to try to remember this week, and it is that AI companies are full of shit

Only rarely do their claims actually bear scrutiny, and those are only the mildest of claims they make.

So, anthropic is claiming that their new, secret, unreleased model is hyper competent at finding computer security vulnerabilities and they're *too scared* to release it into the wild.

Except all the AI companies have been making the same hypercompetence claims about literally every avenue of knowledge work for 3+ years, and it's literally never true. So please keep in mind the highly likely possibility that this is mostly or entirely bullshit marketing meant to distract you from the absolute garbage fire that is the code base of the poster child application for "agentically" developed software

You may now resume doom scrolling. Thank you
