The Colin Meloy (decemberists) cover of that song is incredible.

That probably shouldn't seem as weird to me as it does but I swear, 50% of the more vocal population of star trek online are far right folks.
I mean, people miss the point of fight club too, but that's only two hours long...
More like "sales teams are the reason middle managers think ALL employees slack off when not watched."
I get that sales is a SUPER depressing culture, a ridiculously antiquated work environment, and full of some utterly soul-sucking mandates from above, but I have never seen, in any workplace, a team that needs someone constantly riding herd on them like the sales team.
Every place I've worked, every place that a place I've worked has had as a client, and every business I've ever visited had the same problem -- sales people are largely unmotivated because their job has a much higher chance to SUCK OUT LOUD than most of the other jobs at a given company.
When five figure quarterly bonuses, daily friendly team competitions for gift cards, more paid-for-by-the-company outings than the c suites get and pickle ball on company time twice a week aren't enough to hype people up to do their actual job, something is really fucking wrong with the job expectations.
It made me think of teddy ruxpin, but the diamond age is an incredible book. I haven't read all of his stuff yet, but that's my favorite of his so far.
Saw them in concert.
Fricking amazing band.
I highly recommend them.
Some of it is about the "Why"s.
Netflix nearly stamped out piracy for a while there by being a vastly more attractive alternative. Between them and Hulu, and to a lesser extent prime(at the time) if it was streaming, you could watch it somewhere at a reasonable price for a marginally reasonable viewing experience that was at least as good as most TPB downloads.
Then the IP owners got greedier and decided to strike out on their own with the "everyone has a streaming service" model, which would be GREAT if they largely shared content, but they don't.
The greed continues, not in order to adequately compensate creators, but to make a few handfuls of people not just rich but filthy rich. Every action they take suddenly becomes more penny pinching for more greed. At this point lots of the CONTENT CREATORS wish they had a better choice (how often do they say 'please watch it this way, that's just how they rank stuff, sorry'?)
Why is it the opposite with AI?
Because in comparison with stuff like streaming video or music platforms, AI is BARELY pretending to offer a functional service in exchange for the greed that's behind all of the money they're trying to force it to make for them.
And that's just for one side of the debate.
Why isn't the fact that AI is largely garnering the same responses even from DIAMETRICALLY OPPOSED GROUPS telling you something about how bad of an idea it is in it's current incarnation?
That's actually a phrase translated into every language that has a phrases page on omniglot, which cracks me up consistently.
Ah!

What is this, a bot post with an imperfect scraper behind it?
What in the actual fuck are you on about?
They genuinely believe some random guy is god incarnate so they tormented him his entire life to try and get him to kill himself,
Nothing in wicca allows any of that, so far as I'm aware.
That's SO far off base with what I understand of the basic tenets of wicca that it'd be like an humanist atheist vegan suddenly signing on to work as a halal butcher and then deciding animals aren't enough, it's time to butcher people instead.
