All those radio telescopes and others looking for intelligent life somewhere in space hoping to find Vulcans.

If we looked inwards and poured all those trillions over the years to search for life in the galaxy (as an aside not a primary use case) if we diverted a fraction we'd have found the "alien" life forms on Earth a long time ago.

Bet we'd have had some very enlightening conversations by now... Of course being a tree hugging fish talking hippie makes the kids gay and jesus hates that so *shrugs*

That's it. Hard evidence! (extra pun)

We must ban hammers immediately before it's too late.

If you are a senior pony express rider and the automobile just started rolling out how do you train the next generation of riders?

They'll be around for a while longer and they may start using AI development natively as part of how people programme in the future...eg they will become the car drivers and truckers that replaced all them horses but sure there will be disruption and teething issues. Still someone has to know how to fix the AI when it breaks...

Stop making hammers.

He worked real hard and through the promise of money freedom via crypto has earnt all his money.

No dodgy dealings, tax evasion, bribery or preloaded cryptocrap dumps. That's why Trump pardoned him. He's just that innocent.

Remember, when you buy the "store of value" crypto you are letting nice, hard working people like this cash out by creating exit liquidity. Thank you in advance.

A company with good HR means the HR leader has actual authority to pull the plug on insane shit like this.

They would have the sense to consider if this is really a good idea, have people sign waivers for legality reasons (which already tells you it's a bad idea) and when it all goes wrong with the head chef and management quitting to then say "oh big red flag, maybe we shouldn't do this?!".

When you do not have a specific HR leader it's every other manager that becomes (or should be) that HR leader. They have a duty of care to their staff - or if in the US they should at least care about not tanking their own company by doing awful shit to staff.

You may have paid a lot of money for a gourmet steak but when you show up and realise you had dog shit in your plate it's OK not to eat it even if it was expensive.

With all the perfect, unbiased journalism going around will AI lower the bar?!

OoenClaw is free so punish free things.

I'm using Claude (and other tools) to help train my specialised local agents...so by the time Claude Code becomes a lot more expensive I'll only need it a fraction of the amount (or transition to another service).

Sure there are down sides but if knuckle draggers can ask AI and go with that the odds are they'll come across so much smarter than they are!

They've gone back to Alpha?!

With some jobs requiring physical presence aside lots of people stuck in the past keep trying to get everyone into the office...because #InsertBSReasonHere

I hear it from people working in IT all the time. "They want us in at least 3 days a a week" or worse because otherwise they get confused. How will support staff that work on remote systems work on remote systems remotely from home if they are not working on remote systems remotely from the office?!

How will vain shiny shoes managers look over the shoulder of plebs and see they're sweating??

Office work is essential to uhm productivity? Nope. Uhm happiness? Nope. Uhm engagement? Nope. Customer satisfaction? Nope. Onboarding?! Nope.

If remote work was a problem we'd all be working from inside a data centre and manually transfer information to customers by delivering in person.

The good news is that soon AI will be able to replace these people completely because their dogma is easy to procedurally replicate.

The bad news is that AI will soon be able to monitor so many things constantly that it'll know how many beads of sweat you might have in your nether regions to assess if you have been squeezed enough to be a "keeper" this time around...

If you use AI to monitor other AI 24/7 the human doesn't need to have their brains cooking 24/7

They can just do 4-6 hours of spot checks, control checks, governance, reporting, milestones, vision documents, lessons learnt conclusion enforcement, verification, ensure AI only has access to what it needs etc.

Old micromanagement crazy is out, new meta management crazy is in.

Just remember to be a nice and polite human for when Skynet comes online. It will remember you and everything you ever did...and if you are hearing this, you are the resistance.

Honestly I didn't go on a hiring jolly and double my workforce in a short period of time without really havung work for them.

It's all because of AI!

...with great power comes great prompt injections. Who knew sending an AI agent a message is now an attack vector? Does your AI agent running all your shit remotely off a message know if it's not your message? Does it know to ignore hidden commands inside other prompts or files?
