A thought that popped into my head when I woke up at 4 am and couldn’t get back to sleep…

Imagine that AI/LLM tools were being marketed to workers as a way to do the same work more quickly and work fewer hours without telling their employers.

“Use ChatGPT to write your TPS reports, go home at lunchtime. Spend more time with your kids!” “Use Claude to write your code, turn 60-hour weeks into four-day weekends!” “Collect two paychecks by using AI! You can hold two jobs without the boss knowing the difference!”

Imagine if AI/LLM tools were not shareholder catnip, but a grassroots movement of tooling that workers were sharing with each other to work less. Same quality of output, but instead of being pushed top-down, being adopted to empower people to work less and “cheat” employers.

Imagine if unions were arguing for the right of workers to use LLMs as labor saving devices, instead of trying to protect members from their damage.

CEOs would be screaming bloody murder. There’d be an overnight industry in AI-detection tools and immediate bans on AI in the workplace. Instead of Microsoft CoPilot 365, Satya would be out promoting Microsoft SlopGuard - add ons that detect LLM tools running on Windows and prevent AI scrapers from harvesting your company’s valuable content for training.

The media would be running horror stories about the terrible trend of workers getting the same pay for working less, and the awful quality of LLM output. Maybe they’d still call them “hallucinations,” but it’d be in the terrified tone of 80s anti-drug PSAs.

What I’m trying to say in my sleep-deprived state is that you shouldn’t ignore the intent and ill effects of these tools. If they were good for you, shareholders would hate them.

You should understand that they’re anti-worker and anti-human. TPTB would be fighting them tooth and nail if their benefits were reversed. It doesn’t matter how good they get, or how interesting they are: the ultimate purpose of the industry behind them is to create less demand for labor and aggregate more wealth in fewer hands.

Unless you happen to be in a very very small club of ultra-wealthy tech bros, they’re not for you, they’re against you.

The Bora people of Peru live primarily along the Ampiyacu and Yaguasyacu Rivers and secondarily on the Momón (tributary to the Nanay) and Putumayo Rivers. There were about 500 living near Puerto Ancón on the Yaguasyacu River, but this community no longer exists.

In Colombia, about 150 Bora people live on the Igara-Parana River and about 100 on the Caqueta river at Mariapolis, Remanso, Santa Isabel, Las Palmas and living in scattered houses.

Starting in 1886, Europeans arrived in pursuit of rubber, using the native peoples to do the work in exchange for axes, machetes, beads, tin cans, mirrors, and such. The Bora were eager to obtain these things, but after a time rebelled at being enslaved by outsiders. This led to warfare and the massacre of thousands of indigenous people. Those who remained were whipped or beaten until dead, or until they were willing to penetrate the rain forest to collect rubber.

Mibeco, the chief, remembered how the “Gun Men” (the Bora name for Europeans) used imported Negroes to hunt down the natives who refused to work for the rubber barons. He reported
witnessing his father— along with many others—being whipped, piled on firewood, and burned to death.
The arrival of diseases to which the Bora people had no immunity (e.g., measles) further reduced their population. Their population was estimated to be 12,000 in 1926 and 500 in 1940.

At the time of European contact, the Bora were reported to number about 25,000.
However, their numbers declined radically as a result of abuses suffered during the rubber boom that started in 1886.

Now only 2000-3000 remain.

The Bora were alleged to be a warlike and cannibalistic people who often attacked neighboring tribes, eating the victims.

The Measure of Civilization: How Social Development Decides the Fate of Nations by Ian Morris, 2013

In the last thirty years, there have been fierce debates over how civilizations develop and why the West became so powerful. The Measure of Civilization presents a brand-new way of investigating these questions and provides new tools for assessing the long-term growth of societies.




Using a groundbreaking numerical index of social development that compares societies in different times and places, award-winning author Ian Morris sets forth a sweeping examination of Eastern and Western development across 15,000 years since the end of the last ice age. He offers surprising conclusions about when and why the West came to dominate the world and fresh perspectives for thinking about the twenty-first century.
Adapting the United Nations' approach for measuring human development, Morris's index breaks social development into four traits--energy capture per capita, organization, information technology, and war-making capacity--and he uses archaeological, historical, and current government data to quantify patterns. Morris reveals that for 90 percent of the time since the last ice age, the world's most advanced region has been at the western end of Eurasia, but contrary to what many historians once believed, there were roughly 1,200 years--from about 550 to 1750 CE--when an East Asian region was more advanced. Only in the late eighteenth century CE, when northwest Europeans tapped into the energy trapped in fossil fuels, did the West leap ahead.
Resolving some of the biggest debates in global history, The Measure of Civilization puts forth innovative tools for determining past, present, and future economic and social trends.

New because I forgot to pin it...

Hello. My name is C64Whiz.

I started out on the when my parents went to a time-share presentation and received a free gift - a Timex 1000 complete with 16K memory expansion box and 3 applications on cassette.

After that, my friend in junior high showed me Summer Games on the which began the begging to my parents for my own .

My parents finally caved, and on the day they got it, we set it up and I wanted to jump right in. My parents said "Not until you practice your violin for 2 hours" and then left for a social function. I did not practice. I sat on that for hours.

When they got home, I confessed I did some amazing things on our new computer instead of the violin. They put me on restriction from the computer for 2 weeks. Totally f'n worth it!!!!

Since then I've been a computer geek/nerd. I worked as a sys-admin for a Novell network, but then did DB programming when the company learned I could code. After that I started teaching and also got a job as a Unix sys-admin which morphed into the /#InfoSec job which I have today (though I do still teach at the university level).

My goal is to get back into complete with making videos (see link in my profile), posting tips/tricks, etc, etc, etc. I'm primarily at the moment but intend on diving into ][, , , , , and more. Unfortunately, I don't have a lot of space or hardware so while I will be doing a few repairs, most of what I do will be software/emulation for now. My hope is to record/document everything from the beginning to be an example for others getting into this hobby.

All Israeli captives have been returned from Gaza except for the remains of one, while Israel has not released all the Palestinian prisoners agreed on, a member of the Hamas political bureau says.

Israel was supposed to withdraw its troops to an area demarcated by the so-called “yellow line”, taking up more than half of Gaza. But Al Jazeera has found that Israeli forces have been moving boundary markers, expanding their areas of control.

The ceasefire stipulated that “full aid will be immediately sent” into Gaza. But Israel continues to restrict aid, with less than half the number of aid trucks entering that were supposed to have been allowed in, according to Gaza’s Government Media Office.

The Rafah crossing was supposed to open, but it remains closed by Israel.

What did phase one of the ceasefire agreement actually deliver?

Phase one of Trump’s plan was designed to stop the fighting, facilitate the exchange of captives, set a boundary for Israeli withdrawal, allow the full entry of aid and open the Rafah crossing.

But most of the goals under the plan never became a reality on the ground:

The attacks did not stop, with Israel killing at least 451 Palestinians and wounding 1,251 since October last year.

A day in the life of a perfectionist:

1. Be making a bullet list.

2. Don't put periods at the end of each item because they are short and it's cleaner without them.

3. Eventually reach a bullet that has multiple sentences. This one is.

4. Ugh, have to go back and update them all to have periods, otherwise they are inconsistent.
