We're all thinking it. It's time Nestlé. These overpaid, deadweight executive positions should be automated. The one job an AI could actually do well is CEO.

Google developer #1: "That's it. Our search engine is simple, efficient, and reliable. It's perfect. We're done." Google developer #2, presumably: "But wouldn't it be *more* perfect if the first search result was always a robot who mansplained your search results to you incorrectly?"
Un autre Mossad opp?
Those are public funds.
Paper route income has really gone up recently!
Why not? Zero risk, all reward!!! (for CIS white dudes only, that is).
Car-sprawl suburban US is a far greater threat than what little’s left of the mostly mythical small town US.
In New York, 100%.
Wow. When a strongly worded email just won’t suffice. Who do they have beef with?
Like settlers in the West Bank.
Out of guilt or cowardice?
The pointless and overpowered Zatoichi character really ruins Rogue One though. Andor is 1000x better.
This isn’t someone worth platforming or engaging with. There’s no value here.
Seriously? What an insane rip-off. It's only 107km! In most of europe (France, Germany, Spain, Denmark, Sweden, Norway) that would cost no more than $10. And it's slow diesel crap service VS quick, efficient electric. WTaF. Ontario is a sad joke.
The days of LNG as a "bridge fuel" in a green transition are OVER. Time for Mark to prove that's he's more than a cynical opportunist and address scientific reality.
Plenty of ✨innovators✨ at @deloitteinsights.bsky.social apparently. 😂 www.afr.com/companies/pr...
WSJ: ChatGPT fueled a 56-year-old tech industry veteran’s paranoia, encouraging his suspicions that his mother was plotting against him.... On Aug. 5, Greenwich police discovered that Soelberg killed his mother and himself in the $2.7 million Dutch colonial-style home where they lived together.
Making great things happen! 😂 www.afr.com/companies/pr...
Half a million dollars for ai slop. 😂 What a time to be alive. Well played @deloitteinsights.bsky.social, well played. www.afr.com/companies/pr...
The ginch resistance!
One could. Or Mark could. He is an adult and is capable of retracting such an offensive statement - one that blatantly supports an active genocide. But he chooses not to. The question is why? Are Palestinians fully human to him? Canadians apologize all the time. But, very notably, not this time.
The "Zionist Palestine" guy? You proud of that? 🫣
Grifters did change the world. It’s not really in dispute.
Senator Warren since at least April 2024. www.politico.com/news/2024/04...
Are you? The province still has zero kms of regional electric passenger rail and one of the world’s worst levels of forced car dependency and per capital emissions. Children are afraid to cross intersections due to homicidal drivers and your govt refuses to ban right-on-reds.
It is crazy that BC and Canada have totally out-of-date train lines and yet no NDP leader, including Dix and Horgan, have ever run on finally electrifying the tracks, updating the signalling and expanding regional passenger and cargo rail. It's been an obvious "We build stuff" move for 50 years.
Why, you might ask, do the BBC and Sky News, casting their editorial guidelines to the wind, keep giving massive airtime to the far right, while shutting out leftwing voices? Don't their bosses understand the likely consequences? Only one explanation now remains. They do. And it is what they want.
The moral justifications for immigration are only compounding. The global north is disproportionately responsible for climate collapse, increasing desertificating equatorial areas and flooding coastal regions, and causing inevitable climate migration.
What a babbling, incoherent dolt. Whatever Brad is being paid, it’s WAY too much. Just replace him with AI already!
Franco never did.
Meta AI leakage is a massive scandal, a careless company exposing deeply private stuff. It's also a window into what the AI companies see in their data — what they know about how people actually use chatbots nymag.com/intelligence...
Uninformed, gullible, and, (least forgivably), at least 6 months behind the news cycle, retaining Robert Booth as technology editor at the @theguardian.com is simply untenable. Time to do him and his readers a solild and end this public embarrassment.
Exactly! It distracts from the real accumulating harms of GenAI (material, social, cultural, psychological, etc.) while justifying the growing parasocial addiction-isolation harms. And at a time even tech oligarchs themselves are finally admitting the futility of their AGI inevitability myth.
A first-year at uni would have this drivel rejected by the student news site. Yet Robert Booth is somehow the technology editor at @theguardian.com? How can that be???
Maybe? But only on the condition I can use a cattle-prod, horse tranquilizers and LSD for his re-education programming sessions.
Thanks. But LOL those are clearly not "revenue" hours. Language has lost all meaning.
Just build the north shore skytrain already. PM Carney is looking for "Canada Builds" projects. Get it done! Now is the time!
Still pretending there will be a fair election? Why?
What’s a “revenue hour”? An hour of operation?
Now that was a good year!
The future of transportation is electric regional passenger rail, high speed rail and safe cycling infrastructure. Forget the other garbage.
Crazy that a country under hostile invasion has far superior electric passenger rail than Canada. Beyond embarrassing, really. Come on, Carney! Time to build some electrified track for trains! (We have less than 200km total).
Isn’t it? They effectively ended democracy in the world’s most powerful state. How much much more absolute could it be?
Nowhere near enough is being made of Google taking a clear, intentional and planned step into the techno-fascist position on energy and climate It literally came with its own PDF white paper. This is clear and intentional and thought-through. www.desmog.com/2025/08/19/g...
Y'all The ICE building in Portland is painting a line in front of their building But they don't even know how to spell government
Read Middlemarch. It’s a masterpiece.
Yup. And like there’s a future for fossil fuels. And like cancelling wealth taxes will trickle down. Wakey, Wakey little Sparky. The neoliberal dream isn’t real.
It’s just cheese! People need to relax.
In case you thought this timeline couldn’t get any dumber, the ethically challenged dimwit and former Meta-patsy Nick Clegg has written a book entitled (I shit you not) “How to Save the Internet.” www.theguardian.com/technology/2...
Did chatGPT write this steaming pile of 💩?
I did it the other way
Attempting to shame the shameless is always a non-starter. It reveals a fundamental misunderstanding of how grifting works, like trying to get AIPAC puppet Hakeem Jeffries to care about piles of dead kids.
Makes sense. "Terrorism" has been rendered meaningless over the last 25 years.
Fascist or autocratic regimes have usually been very attractive to investors. IBM, GM, Coca-cola got paid in full for their investments in Nazi Germany, for example.
That’s not how fascism works. LOL
Is that just how delusion works?
"Said"? They have. There's plenty of evidence.
Chalk instead of paint is painful. It feels like capitulation in advance. An knowingly empty gesture.
Bonkers nonsense 10 years behind the times.
No, they are running massive deficits. There’s no thought being given to transferring expenditures or balancing budgets. No financial logic or consideration whatsoever. They budgeted for cruelty.

Interesting. Using 2024 results to retroactively explain 2016 is a stretch though. Micro-targeting can't really be accessed without broader, contextual considerations such as media consumption habits, news industry capitulation, filter bubbles, fracturing infoscape, diminished regulation, etc.
Damn it. This the second time in a month I've googled "Tyler Cowen" and then been forced to press the auto-erase brain button.
"The left?" 😂😂😂 More like "the dregs."
Almost Paris, but with worse food, more traffic and way more expensive. Killer music scene though!
Sadly, it's 100% a profound ignorance of what historians do, what "history" is, how history is constructed, what knowledge is, etc. The most ignorant, far right libertarian anti-social creeps have become the wealthiest, most powerful people on earth. Welcome to techologarchy.
What information isn’t online these days? Maybe it’s time to move past this 1990s coded information typology?
Interesting choice to include one non-democracy in the study.
I asked for salt and vinegar but then I was like “why is this cash flavoured with salt and vinegar?” And then I was like “who still uses cash?” But then I was like “right, this is New York.”
Climate science and media/public relations/outreach are two broad areas of expertise. Not everyone has the skills for both, nor should they. It’s like not every researcher or scientist is good at teaching.
That sounds fun! Try Palestinians instead and see how long it takes to get fired.
The damage they're doing to the Science Fiction genre has been profound. Now whenever I meet a fellow scifi fan, I almost assume they're a semi-illiterate libertarian techoligarch wannabe who's never heard of Ursula Le Guin or Octavia Butler and hasn't finished a novel since high school.
"The calculator analogy makes language models and so-called “copilots”, “tutors”, and “agents” sound harmless. It gives permission for uncritical adoption and suggests technology can fix all the challenges we face as a society." Another GenAI euphemistic metaphor theconversation.com/generative-a...
"We have documented that 1,857 Palestinians were killed while seeking food... most of these killings appear to have been committed by the Israeli military" UN human rights office spokesperson
Oh, it's 100% a sarcastic post. Still, it did pop my filter bubble. No interest in knowing anything more than already do about the endless legion of broligarchic halfwits.
Spatial and multimodal mobility justice are also neglected. A growing number are rejecting the casual violence of driver supremacism and the harms of its 'long century'. Continuing to ignore the festering fascism, libertarianism and anti-collective lifestyles born by car sprawl would be foolish.
Influential what now? You made me google this dipshit! Damn it.
The allegations have been repeatedly made in Parliament over the last 20 years. Surely you can't have skipped all those sessions? What's that? Worst attendance record in House history? Oh. I stand corrected. Be proud.
The people dominating our political landscape, culture, and economy are just so stupid and full of shit it's almost impossible to describe
Canada has plenty of examples. 1000s of kms of rail track but less than 200km has been electrified, something most wealthy countries did several generations ago. The coordinated destruction of passenger rail has been largely ignored by environmentalists and leftists alike, tragically.
"GenAI is an epistemic carcinogen." by @glenberman.bsky.social Big upgrade on the reckless anthropomorphic metaphors (think, learn, hallucinate, etc)! 🤓 link.springer.com/article/10.1...
In the land of the worst forced car-dependency on earth, please tell us at least one multimodal mobility justice advocate is invited. Housing without electric regional passenger rail just produces more car sprawl exurb insolation where fascism festers.
Who wrote this? Vidal-Naquet was part of the Europalestine group, and would never consider anti-Zionism as a flavour of negationism. What an insult to his work and principles.
That's not how anything works. 😂 Have you never heard of economics or capitalism? Prices are maximized as much as possible to what the market can bear. Excess profits are directed to executive pay and share buy backs (to manipulate the price and trigger additional executive bonuses).
We used to have CP. It doesn't work because some routes require service but lose money. That's why national carriers exist with special laws applied to them.
The CEO bonuses ARE tied to stock price. That's WHY they artificially inflated the stock price with a buy back scam.
Or they could have just NOT wasted $500M on a manipulative stock buy back scam in JUNE. ca.finance.yahoo.com/news/air-can...
It could have been, but the Liberals voted down just such a law last year.
Good for the union. Air Canada found an extr $500M in June to waste manipulating stock prices through a share buy back scam. They have enough to pay fair wages. ca.finance.yahoo.com/news/air-can...
In an almost unthinkable display of conflict-of-interest, a former Air Canada legal counsel, Maryse Tremblay, will rule on whether to end job action by striking Air Canada flight attendants at the Canada Industrial Relations Board.
Really making use of their IOF training techniques.
It could have been made illegal last year. Sadly, the Lib-Cons decided otherwise and voted against the bill. www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1Lz...
Feels like you skipped much of the backstory. This was 100% predicted last year. www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1Lz...
100% predictable. The Trudeau legacy continues. 🫣 www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1Lz...
Sadly, poverty wages are the actually most Canadian thing imaginable.
Keep in mind that the previous Liberal government could have easily prevented this predictable situation last year and CHOSE NOT TO. They literally voted against protecting the basic labour rights of flight attendants. www.ndp.ca/news/ndp-rei...
What a shocker!! Who could have possibly predicted this a year ago??? Spoiler: everyone. www.ndp.ca/news/ndp-rei...
Merci Trudeau et Carney! 😘 www.npd.ca/nouvelles/le...
