AI is gonna be a big, big, big, big, labor problem. Start banning that shit in union contracts right now. Don’t wait. teapaw.org/Vanessid/status/160056…

Do you know who Shudu is? I just found out—she’s the first AI model. She’s been “hired” across the industry which means her creators, white men, NOT a Black woman, are the ones paid. And companies get to say they ran Black content without having to work with or hire Black people.

"a rail shutdown would devastate our economy" So you're saying the livelihoods of all of us, 330 million people, depend on this one group of workers? Their labor benefits all of us that much? It sounds like the least we can do is give them as many sick days as they want

The nation is NOT “closely divided.” Republicans have gerrymandered districts so they hold a greater share of seats than their share of votes while millions of voters in DC & Puerto Rico are denied full representation & millions more are denied full voting rights

The fact that “styling a button” is A Thing, is ignoring how the shittiness and fragility of modern web dev has created a tech priesthood that distorts the labor market around software development. If a C coder can’t style a button, the issue isn’t the C programmer.

Feels like we could be in an era of big productivity breakthroughs in service sector, particularly thinking about food service. The new point-of-sale systems + Apple Pay are getting incredibly smooth. So easy to order and get the check on the phone now.

🙋🏿‍♂️I have a bunch! First, somewhat controversial: Imposter syndrome isn't real! The feeling is very real, but if we think of it as imposter syndrome then it seems like the problem is with the person feeling it, and not with the environment. Imposter syndrome is lack of safety.

joe biden could be doing so much more. for example, he could sneak into the supreme court and leave all their pens uncapped, so they dry out and then none of the justices can write anything any more

Remember that it's part of the conservative playbook to isolate, exhaust, and discourage you. They want you to feel like the system can never work because they don't want any chance of you participating enough to hold power.

New theory: Google has 4,000 different messaging apps because the AI is frantically trying to find a way to talk to someone who doesn't work at Google.

My fellow Americans — enough. It’s time for each of us to do our part. It’s time to act. For the children we have lost, for the children we can save, for the nation we love — let us hear the call and cry, let us meet this moment, let us finally do something.

Republicans grilled @HillaryClinton for 11+ hours on television and under oath during the Benghazi hearings. But the @January6thCmte are too scared to have any of the people below testify on TV and under oath. And if you accept that you are part of the problem.

They should do a movie like 3 men and a baby, and cast Chris Pine as all the 3 men. Possibly he could play the baby too.

Jesus Christ how is it so hard for people to say “A bullying troll taking over the main media communication channel in order to clear the way for right-wing politics and let the insurrectionist president have his main platform back is really really bad, actually”

this is a good and subtle set of thoughts abt Twitter - and Ezra and I agree that a level of destruction of Twitter, right-sizing its role in our lives is not a bad thing. made a similar point a couple days ago. nytimes.com/2022/04/27/opini…

My mum died from cancer last year. If they cure cancer, I'm going to be livid.

I just worked my butt off to pay off my very expensive student loans a few months ago. If Biden forgives student loans, I’m going to be livid.

Dreary bipartisan claims about potholes & bridges have been Biden's core message for over a year. It hasn't worked for him, just as it never worked for Obama. He has to change. Defeat in November is not an option.

Thanks to the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, we’re making the most significant investment in modernizing our roads and bridges since the Interstate Highway System was built under President Eisenhower.
