“Elijah Clark, a consultant who advises companies on AI implementation, is blunt about the bottom line. ‘CEOs are extremely excited about the opportunities that AI brings,’ he says. ‘As a CEO myself, I can tell you, I’m extremely excited about it. I’ve laid off employees myself because of AI. AI doesn’t go on strike. It doesn’t ask for a pay raise.’” — Gizmodo
Hi team,
Happy Taco Tuesday, and blessed Q3 Hustle VibesTM from your CEO, Rockin’ Rickie.
First off: Thank you. Your hard work is why Bin There, Felt That remains the first and only company dedicated to manufacturing trash cans for adult children of divorce. What we do is vital. It’s a lot like open-heart surgery, but with a slightly higher body count and way more cupholders. I’m proud to lead a crew—nay, familia—bound by five core values: integrity, passion, collaboration, mixing up women employees—but in a respectful way—and honesty. With that in mind, I wanted to address a recent interview in which I was egregiously misquoted as saying: “I legit can’t wait to fire these ungrateful poors with our company’s new AI agent.” […]
I maintain queues for places I actively submit in, but I actually exhausted mine with this link (not much gets published over the weekends). My current rotation of satire sources:
https://chaser.com.au/ https://theshovel.com.au/ https://www.betootaadvocate.com/ (often has thumbnail problems) https://www.thebelltowertimes.com/ https://theonion.com/ https://clickhole.com/ https://thehardtimes.net/ (seems to have died with Charlie Kirk) https://hard-drive.net/ (seems to have died with Charlie Kirk) https://www.mcsweeneys.net/ https://newsthump.com/ (partial paywall - please provide an archived link alongside the original submission if you use this source) https://theneedling.com/
Was evaluating adding this one in too: https://waterfordwhispersnews.com/
Nobody ever asked, but since I’m dumping everything else right now I might as well dump this alongside it too; the reason I made a consistent effort to submit here and not on the sister community on midwest.social is because although admins can run their instances how they want I didn’t personally like how midwest.social was run:
It had been my hope to slowly displace it as the dominant onion community in the long-run, at least while the assumption of the admin(s) of this instance being preferable held true.
Embrace satire (it’s fun!) and truth (it’s important!); reject tribalistic misinformation and inappropriate voting that ruins other people’s feeds. If you don’t, it will poison the platform and devolve it into more of an echo-chamber than it already is.
Based on current trajectories and the information I’ve gathered after 2 years of active use, I’m no longer convinced that the current threadiverse has a realistic chance of working out and I’m tired of trying (but it’s always possible that I’ll be proven wrong, or that it’s already good enough for you personally). Good luck!
