I am gonna give Al Jazeera the benefit of the doubt here and assume that since this article comes from their 'Explainer' section, that they purposefully wrote the headline in a way that a person searching for that question would end up at this article. Maybe they are targeting people who would read that headline and think 'Oh wow does he?' as opposed to people (like me) who would read that headline and think 'yea doubt it'

This same article is getting rewritten/copypasted between all the “news” sites. It’s all based on absolutely nothing cause they provide zero evidence - it’s just empty accusations and broken links.

Dude immigrants are like the most patriotic people - literally uprooting their lives to come here and work to achieve the american dream - and still the Con's want to kick them out rather than naturalize because they can't recognize brown people as humans.

Sci-fi writer Ursula Leguin wrote a book about an anarcho-syndicalistic society called The Dispossessed. In that book, those who 'opted out' of this society were barred from enjoying the fruits of the collective labor but could still live on the outskirts and start their own subsistence farm or whatever. Societal control in that story was basically maintained through personal relationships among the community (shame those who don't want to contribute) whereas the capitalistic society control method is threaten with death by restricting access to resources (home,food,water,etc). I'm not saying public shaming is the best route, but it's still more humane than work or die.

Kagi = best 5$/mo I spend. Found them in my de-googling process.

probably garnishing of wages for student loans in default (despite previous administration providing more payment leniency) and then handing that money directly to Boeing execs to congratulate them on destroying Boeing

I agree on both counts - honestly, a lot of companies are probably just posting job openings (that will purposefully remain vacant) with titles like AI Prompt Engineer and SEO Specialist to help boost shareholder confidence. I think I'm just fighting against the idea that LLMs should be used like a search engine - i know you didnt suggest that but I've been reading a lot recently about 'ChatGPT lies!' when in reality people are wrongly using a pattern recognition system like its a search engine.

exactly this - SEO (search engine optimization) is huge, just like "prompt engineering" is extremely valuable - and its quite different from SEO. I wouldnt think either is a full-time position but, but learning to effectively prompt and use LLM's is definitely a skill.
