If you need more insight into the writer, here’s a summary of a previous article with commentary on his internet usage

Anti-war MAGA isn’t really an anti-war stance. It’s just Trump’s most defensible talking point (although complete BS and not based in any reality), so many quadrupled down on that as way to avoid talking about taxes/immigration

HR is like 75% about protecting the company and 25% protecting the employee. This appears to effectively eliminate the 75% company component and makes the employee component more disorganized and increases the likelihood of underreporting and retaliation

Some tech bro said he was going to give me a bunch of money, but it’s not a bribe since I didn’t look at my accountants spreadsheet

I think part of the problem was that much of mid century modernist aesthetic suffered from cheap and poor quality knockoffs that which dragged it down, and was replaced by cookie cutter and easier to emulate styles

The “Arbeit macht frei” was probably gallows humor, but it does unfortunately resolve multiple issues for them 1) urge to arrest and criminalize the immigrant class 2) not disrupt the economy 3) inability to physically detain everyone they want

Meaning: we are going keep arresting immigrants, but will create a detention work program to loan back to the farmers - Arbeit macht frei

We are rehabilitating too many criminals and turning them into indispensable model employees. We need to put an end to that

Plus, with the current twitter landscape, media twitter accounts are seeing that one of the few ways to get engagement is bashing BlueSky, bash BlueSky to feed their confirmation bias

Also Barro was a republican prior to 2016, and only veered “center left” as an opportunistic ploy. He’s always been a righty but with BlueSky he can no longer make money appearing to be liberalish.

Yes, the elites want a nuclear war after which they might live comfortably for a few years (if they’re not killed by their own staff/security) only to subsequently become a subsistence farmer for the rest of their life

The is because they are quite dumb, and assume everyone is just dumber

Please don’t remind our employees of the immoral and illegal work they are doing, it really hurts morale

And the major reason behind this is that those people think that immigrants are mostly violent criminals, so putative measures are the only solution in their mind.

Elon will never be an ally to the left, and there is no benefit in being nice or working with him, but the best thing the left can do now is to stay out of his way and let him cook

You either drove where somewhere you knew well, looked at a map before hand, or got directions from someone that was like “take Washington St until you reach Oak st which is like 3 streets after the McDonald’s and looked for the 7th house on the left. If you pass the church youve gone too far”

“a fraternity of intelligent, practical, and careful people who are already TRUSTED on a regular basis with the lives of others”
These people don’t actually exist, and fuckers being referred to are none of those things, most especially they’re not “trusted”

The act of writing is the act of thinking. You could, of course, interpose an AI generated thing at any point in the process, but it wouldn’t actually save you time. If you know what needs to be on the page, you will write it better than an AI. If you don’t, the only way to find out is the writing.

People that try to ignore or obfuscate this point don’t truly believe in their cause they don’t know how to make a cogent argument for why to support it

Also, if AI was actually capable of what this person wanted, the work would no longer be “commercial” because EVERYONE could do it and no way that person could garner the same level of sales

Even taking his point at face value he’s effectively saying “I stole the paint, brushes, and canvas from the store and mostly copied someone else’s picture, but I shouldn’t be punished because the picture did nit exist before”

I had been calling this the argument against so-called AI from "craft", but it seems to be broader than that.
More accurately, AI people are against "process", as if process itself wasn't a critical part of the creative method.

Also that account doesn’t care about Palestinian lives, they just see Gaza as a recruitment vehicle for the “revolution”
