So far I've managed to survive two overnight releases.

As well as many late evenings, early mornings, meetings that are driven by people with no sense of time, or any self-awareness, or run by all-and-out bullies.

It's a reminder that work (just like every other hierarchical structure) I've encountered is typically psychopathic in nature, and resorts to exerting some force of various kinds to get its owners' way.

In these situations, it's important to not lose my shit, think carefully about what comes out of my mouth before saying it, be reminded that one is being watched at all times, and do one's work honestly and to the best of one's ability.

Meanwhile the genocide of brown people by Euro-centric ones continues

Israel carries out sixth consecutive Eid massacre in Gaza

The newly-appointed general commander of the Al-Qassam Brigades, Mohammed Odeh, was killed in the lethal strikes carried out on the eve of Eid al-Adha, less than two weeks after his predecessor was assassinated.

Israel kills 31 people in Lebanon on the eve of Eid al-Adha

Another massacre was committed in Gaza on the same day, killing nine people, despite the US-brokered ceasefire deals in both Arab territories.

Crapitalism. Imperialism. Fascism. Colonialism. Mercantilism. They all have three basic things in common.

First is they all are hierarchical structures - with a few at the top, and the rest at the bottom.

Second is that those at the top are often rich and powerful.

And third ... is these systems are often racist in nature.

I honestly think it should be called MAWA, not MAGA.

One of the reasons I continue to read articles online (whether I agree or not with some or all of it), is every now and then one finds comments worth noting.

In this case, it's this one -

"US AI Systems are failing consistently and dramatically.

To start with, much of the data fed into them was illegally scooped up from the Internet. This is why there are so many inconsistencies with the output, which include high levels of erroneous information being served up.

The second issue, which comes from the first one above, which is that the current designs of AI internals cannot easily scale, also leading to erroneous output as a result of what is called “overlapping”."

Wonder when this will happen again?

Memorial Day in the US is supposed to remember the victims of war.

Not those who carry it out.

Yet another work adventure tonight.

This is starting to be a trend I'm not enjoying. 

If course, the alternatives are unemployed and under some bridge.
