If you’re not an accelerationist, you don’t have to do accelerationist things. It’s just an option.
Yes, but if they find out the data is shit, an LLM or another competent machinist can fix it easily. I’d add errors LLMs can’t spot, and humans take long to find.
I’ll be damned if I put my name on shoddy work.
It’s good work, though.
It’s a good analogy because cars enabled globalism, more exploitation and poisoned billions of people with nitrous oxides, lead and particulates. Cars lead to cancer. We should be on the train side of the equation…
They’re not starving though
We’re just clowns doing clown things. That’s a different guy they sent the offer to. Why would it be their account?
Way too easy to fix and way too obvious. A competent machinist will fix this by just changing a single value. You have to introduce less obvious and more insidious errors.
Why are you so scared? Don’t sign a contract which tells you to do it as efficiently as possible. Just be incompetent. It’s not illegal to be incompetent. Mark Zuckerberg wasted 1 billion dollars with his Metaverse shit and he’s still one of the most powerful and wealthy CEOs.
That’s called “weaponised incompetence” or “malicious compliance”. If you do it right, they don’t have any basis to sue you. Just fake it. Imagine you’re just very bad at your job.
Capitalism often controls through fear. The fear of being sacked. The fear of being sued. In the end, the consequences for being bad are not as painful as you’d imagine.
Then don’t do it correctly. You’re basically doing your peers a favor if you poison the data.
You can take the $125 and poison their data by making a few mistakes every time. Just do it as inefficiently as possible, as you’re billed by the hour. You’ll make more money and they’ll have more work and less useful data.

Let me guess: they’re completely at a loss how this happened so unexpectedly.
I’m certain at some points only idiots have a job and the rest of us are jobless and homeless. Idiocracy.

3·4 days agoYeah. If they want us to write more ourselves, they should hire more people.
Tokenmax. Automate your whole job. Give it access to everything. See your workplace crumble. Tell them they wanted it. Continue.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•recommendations for small, energy efficient hardwareEnglish
1·6 days agoSure, but have you looked at the price/performance/watt ratio? Macs cost significantly more than x86 or ARM mini PCs and SBCs. And lots of the performance is gobbled up by MacOS itself. It’s not like it’s easy to install headless Asahi Linux and have everything working well.
If you buy a used M1/M2/M3 Mac that might be a good investment to use with Asahi Linux but Thunderbolt and other neat features won’t work.

Europe@feddit.org•GrapheneOS claims There's a major state sponsored misinformation and smear campaign towards GrapheneOS in the Netherlands and Germany.English
375·6 days agoThe GrapheneOS people always sound like everyone is out to get them. Maybe many are out to get them, but maybe the people are just stupid, or a mix of both.
Journalists just parrot what the police tell them because they don’t have access to experts, don’t want to do the work talking to them or think the police must be the experts.
GrapheneOS is a great project and I’m sure many politicians and surveillance state actors want them to fail. But a big part of why GrapheneOS is slandered is that the common person doesn’t understand their privacy geek talk.
Why would you prevent it? You can just filter the logs.
You can reduce the log level of your .service to a lower one, e.g.
LogLevelMax=warningDefault is usually “info”.


No, my argument is that humanity should stop doing dumb things when they find out they’re dumb.
