  • I want all of the CEOs and executives that are forcing shitty AI into everything to get pancreatic cancer and die painfully in a short period of time.

    Then I want all AI that is offered commercially or in commercial products to be required to verify their training data and be severely punished for misusing private and personal data. Copyright violations need to be punished severely, and using copyrighted works being used for AI training counts.

    AI needs to be limited to optional products trained with properly sourced data if it is going to be used commercially. Individual implementations and use for science is perfectly fine as long as the source data is either in the public domain or from an ethically collected data set.




  • I love them all but its like, how did this shit get on TV and then anywhere near children lmao.

    The Brak Show was on Adult Swim along with a lot of other cartoons aimed at adults. I seriously doubt Happy Tree Friends was grouped into children’s programming, but I only know that from the internet.

    Fairly Oddparents & Billy and Mandy both had stuff that might be heavy or scary if you think about it, but the surface level stuff had enough humor involved to make it less intense than it could have been. A lot of shows for kids have more complex stuff that goes over kid’s heads.







  • US government job in Kansas

    A new employee starts with: 1 discretionary day of their choosing 9 holidays (sometimes 10 if Xmas is on a Tuesday or Thursday) 12 days sick leave (accrues if not used) 12 days vacation leave (there are max, so people have to use it eventually) For a total of 34 or 35 days of leave

    I have been working for 15 years so I get the max of 21 days of vac, making my total leave 43 (or 44) days of leave available each year.

    I tend to use vacation for two or three one week vacations and then sprinkle the rest around for other needs. The few times that I have had to work overtime I can choose the overtime at 1.5 vacation leave instead of extra pay so a couple of years I got a few extra days of vacation to make up for overtime. I will get funeral leave which is a separate thing from vacation or sick leave when my father in law passes away in the next couple of months.

    While I make less as a state employee than in the private sector, I don’t have obligated overtime and I have never been denied leave in the couple decades of working at the state. Plus the private sector in the state is not required to provide any paid leave at all, which is a fucking travesty.


  • Teach them meditation, then get then to practice with you when you don’t want to talk.

    Or explain that you are not always up for his level of energy and want to know how to let him know. Do this when you do have the energy, that way they know you still like them being sround but need breaks sometines. Kids are pretty adaptable at that age and not nearly as judgy as adults if they understand you are being honest.
