Show me any company in the world where a worker is allowed to spend half their salary on anything without multiple layers of management approval

Jensen Huang: "If that $500,000 engineer did not consume at least $250,000 worth of tokens, I am going to be deeply alarmed. This is no different than a chip designer who says 'I'm just going to use paper and pencil. I don't think I'm going to need any CAD tools.'"

Talking with ppl who are fine with using generative llms for writing and trying to explain why they should not be is one of the more disturbing experiences I've had. Like, what I am trying to say is that you as a person matter, and y'all keep saying "prove it to me."

@LotzeMissi @celeriac @Strangeland_Elf Mawmaw also apparently used Crisco. She considered it a wonder of the modern world. I didn't realize how old that product is (first sold in 1911)
English
@dmesg @celeriac @Strangeland_Elf I phoned my mamau asking for help because my biscuits weren't soft like hers. She said I needed her secret ingredient. I told her, "love won't fix my biscuits." She said, " The secret ingredient isn't love, it's lard." My biscuits are great now.

“Our grandparents were eating real food!”
Not sure how old your grandparents are but I’m pretty sure a large portion of our grandparents were cooking everything in crisco and margarine.

IDK to me "story" implies something with a beginning, middle, and end, and a narrative that gets you through them. Also I liked Aeon Flux better when Andrew Tate didn't make a cameo.

Minute-long story made w Grok Imagine

@covie_93 Oh and to get rid of agencies that were investigation Elon Musk's companies

@HiddenYorkshire But also anybody in a military dress uniform in 2026

Imagine undressing a guy in the 1930s and he's wearing sock suspenders/garters. Ick

@suzania It'd be like telling a photographer that they should cease taking photos and paint their scenes by hand instead. The generative software is a tool that these individuals enjoy using in order to express what they wish to express. What exactly is wrong with them using it?

@_carmen_dioxide @CentristMadness (And as crazy as this sounds now there was a three or four month period where Republican Congresspeople were standing in line to get a picture taken with him)
English
@_carmen_dioxide @CentristMadness He even wrote about this in The Audacity of Hope: people kept projecting whatever they wanted to see onto him despite his being absurdly cautious about committing to any policies even directionally.

Obama refused to be photographed with Gavin Newsom because he had legalized gay marriage.
Isi Breen@isaiah_bb
That’s just not true. Obama did not “come from the moderate wing of the party,” he ran as a liberal, and by the way, you guys supported his primary opponent!
English
@CentristMadness I was a campaign volunteer in 2008 and we were explicitly told not to talk about specific issues, policies, or the platform, but about how the campaign made us feel. The only actual policy he ever outlined was "more troops in Afghanistan".
English
@itsanlaaccent @isaiah_bb Do people think the word "change" means "farther to the left"?
English
That’s just not true. Obama did not “come from the moderate wing of the party,” he ran as a liberal, and by the way, you guys supported his primary opponent!
Lily@lilyycohenn
No base? Every Democratic president in over three decades has come from the moderate wing of the party.

@LyftLady11 @isaiah_bb He ran to the right of Hillary Clinton in the primary, in particular because she didn't want to increase the force level in Afghanistan and he did. She also wanted a universal healthcare plan and he ran against that.
English
@isaiah_bb Obama ran to the left of "war hawk" Clinton.
He ran on ending Iraq War, normalizing relations with Cuba, AND famously vowed to negotiate with Iranians.
Do NOT rewrite the 2008 primary, people. Plenty of us remember every detail of that campaign.

@LateStage_L2 @isaiah_bb @swanoflirvety Were none of y'all alive in 2008 or something? This is the craziest description of his 2008 campaign I could imagine but I keep seeing it.
English
@isaiah_bb @swanoflirvety He ran as a progressive. He lied.
English
@isaiah_bb He ran to Hillary Clinton's right in the primaries and I don't understand why people are spending so much energy pretending otherwise.
