HelloThere

Wait, do they actually think getting it to summarise the wiki page on the trolley problem is actually going to stop their people mowers mowing down people?

Surely not!

I asked ChatGPT what it thought of this:

The phrase “rats leaving a sinking ship” often conjures images of individuals abandoning a failing situation in search of safety, reflecting a natural instinct for self-preservation. In the world of tech, leadership changes can evoke similar sentiments, particularly when a high-profile figure like Mira Murati steps down as CTO. Her departure may signal deeper issues within the company, leading to speculation about its stability and future direction. Just as rats flee a deteriorating vessel, employees and stakeholders might interpret her exit as a warning sign, prompting concerns about the organization’s health and long-term viability.

Murati’s tenure as CTO brought innovation and leadership, positioning the company as a front-runner in its industry. Her decision to leave could suggest an unraveling of the strategic vision that once propelled the organization forward. This parallel highlights the instinctive reaction of those within the company; employees may feel uncertain about their future, mirroring the chaos and trepidation felt aboard a ship in distress. The fear of instability can lead to a wave of resignations, as others seek to secure their own positions before the situation worsens.

However, not every departure must be viewed through a negative lens. Just as rats leaving a sinking ship might find new, more promising environments, Murati’s exit could open doors for fresh leadership and innovative ideas. This shift might provide an opportunity for rejuvenation and growth within the company, allowing it to adapt and evolve. While the immediate reaction may be one of alarm, such transitions can also lead to renewed focus and a stronger foundation, illustrating that change—though often unsettling—can ultimately foster resilience and progress.

Emphasis mine - no shit!

Also, good luck to those enterprising rats finding a more promising environment in the, er, sea…

Either MS really do know something we don’t, or this bubble has grained a layer of strontium.

Pop pop!

The lack of PsyX cards is upsetting.

We had a tremendous office culture in the 1950s.

If you were a middle class white man, sure.

Or, who.

You’re presuming self interest is inherently rational.

It isn’t.

Sorry, I don’t understand the motivation here, you want to not let Google spy on you via their OS, but are perfectly happy to give them your entire payment record?

It’s almost like low quality mechanisation is something that should be resisted. I wonder where I’ve heard that before…

It’s an old, bad, joke on the two definitions of revolting.

And they smell bad too!

Again, Mintpress News support the state-capitalist authoritarian regimes of Russia and China, whilst claiming to be left wing.

They frequently parrot state propaganda, including lies about Russia’s invasions of Ukraine, the Syrian civil war, and assorted George Soros nonsense.

Their funding is not transparent, and like Grey Zone frequently publish stories from contributors who appear on RT and Sputnik, such as Vanessa Beeley.

The Gray Zone are literal Putin apologists and are just parroting state propaganda against Bellingcat.

Bellingcat are also transparent about their funding, here

While The Grey Zone claim they take no funding from nation states, the editor Max Blumenthal frequently appears on Sputnik and RT.

Yet again an example of nutjobs projecting on to others what they are actually doing themselves.

How anyone in 2024 can claim to be left wing and apologise for state-capitalist authoritarians is beyond me.

My work is organized around a simple mission: to challenge and then overthrow the left-wing ideological regime that has dominated American life for a generation.

During the 1970s and 1980s, conservative intellectuals started a revolution, pioneering free-market economics and successfully implementing those ideas during the Reagan boom. Today, however, we are faced with a new challenge: to defeat an ascendant activist class that has sabotaged America’s institutions with a toxic combination of socialist economics, cultural chaos, and identity politics.

Typical fash apologist.
