I had this same problem but they would literally track badge-ins and then run a query over the badge-in database to make sure. Manager had no power in this situation.

The "AI driven layoffs" thing probably doesn't hold water. I think it's more to do with interest rates. Also there's more jobs every single year since '22! That isn't really consistent with the idea that better AI means less jobs; we know that idea isn't true.

@yodaladywhooo@mastodon.social @randahl@mastodon.social well, it's war, whether its terrorists or a state (or both, I guess, like this one?). Yes this pretty much happens every time.

@randahl@mastodon.social @Crovanian@mastodon.social one observation, if it helps resolve this cognitive dissonance for y'all, is that isn't algorithms per se that you should be against. Instead, demand algorithms that you control and understand, rather than ones that make Facebook money. https://www.techdirt.com/2019/08/28/protocols-not-platforms-technological-approach-to-free-speech/ <-- this is the way. not sure where this aversion to algorithms came from in the first place. worth noting: https://mastodon.social/explore has an algorithm. just sayin'

@OutOnTheMoors@beige.party @crowgirl@hachyderm.io Really important to keep this in mind: any US company, at least, will and must pretty much freely hand over all information they have to law enforcement upon request. Any data the company has access to is *not* secret in that sense.

@Nobody@social.freetalklive.com @IamHappyToast@mastodon.social Sometimes during cold weather I say "so much for global warming" as a joke – like I can't tell the difference between climate and weather or something. Poe's law, sort of: it's possible that everyone else in this entire thread is just being silly?

@toriver@mas.to @jacket@tech.lgbt @sjvn@mastodon.social me too, I've never used NFTs. (But, I didn't say buying video games.) Fair point about 2nd life. I meant VR more generally, I could have worded that better, pardon me.

@Pineywoozle@masto.ai @jacket@tech.lgbt @sjvn@mastodon.social wow 😂 "nobodies saying they are remotely similar" Except they're saying each item is "just flavor of the fervid month", and addressing that was the only point I made. If I pay a lot of money for an NFT for some art you made, I'm supporting you? The thing you said is the one part of owning original works that actually applies to NFTs in exactly the same way. You realize that, right? LLMs poses a lot of problems, for sure! I never said otherwise?

Replying to @jacket@tech.lgbt
@jacket@tech.lgbt @sjvn@mastodon.social Yeah, it's a funny post but I think these 3 things aren't really comparable. NFTs seem useful for a certain range of applications, one of which – and I don't think this is what you meant – is specifying who owns what in things like video games. The monkey picture thing seemed pretty stupid indeed, but here's an interesting thought experiment: if you think nft monkeys are stupid, would you want to spend extra for an original painting if you could get a to-the-naked-eye just as good copy to hang on your wall instead? Metaverse-type technology is obviously potentially super useful for a wide range of things. However, all attempts so far have been extremely underwhelming, and I don't think anyone serious thought that was going to be any different in the near future just because Zuckerberg is into it. ChatGPT and future iterations seem poised to e.g. make every knowledge worker many times more efficient at large parts of their jobs. This is just not like those other things.
