Spec Priority: ability to attach said laser defense instrument to home telescope ... and enable user to blast those madafakkas out of the sky.

On: Meta's embrace of AI is making its employees miserable

[LightBug1]

That's what's making its employees miserable ????!

If you choose to apply for a job at somewhere like Meta, you’re clearly not the sort of person who lets your moral compass trouble you.

Shocking.

Well done, UK. You really shat the bed and, by the look of it, still are. Diarrhea, possibly.

On: Today I've made the difficult decision to reduce the size of Coinbase by ~14%

And others in this thread were worried about it being too obvious ... ffs

I don't think it's impotent at all.

I think you're wildly overestimating the general population's capacity for nuance.

Particularly in a world where nuance goes the same way as wood logs near a fire place.
