Loss adjusters and liquidators are rubbing their hands with glee.<br/><br/>Also, many silicon spinners are demanding 5 year agreements on production. It’s go big or go home time, and there will be some casualties.<br/><br/>One org I reluctantly work with pivoted their entire operating model to AI and agents, and they royally screwed their staff over.<br/><br/>They’re not hiring them as consultants at twice their original salary as everything fell on it’s arse, and who knew that go to market suits with a prompt can’t keep infrastructure or business running. Hilariously I know one engineer negotiated a one-sided 12 month contract notice period. <br/><br/>These people are going to get desperate, fast.

It’s either incompetence or intentional. <br/><br/>You don’t draw weapons on a vehicle stop for starters, and you don’t stop in a way they can easily drive at you. You especially don’t discharge a weapon in a busy street with bystanders and colleagues nearby, in their direction.<br/><br/>This quote from one incident is really telling.<br/><br/>Standing in front of scared civilians with weapons drawn and expecting a rational outcome. <br/><br/>These people are scared of their own shadows.

The most prominent ones being that this is to get rid of the buzz about the Epstein files. Maybe. <br/><br/>My theory is that the Greenland thing was injected into western manosphere and tech bro circles on social media by foreign powers around a decade ago, and that many US corporations are demanding more cheap rare earth materials. Like those in Ukraine, Venezuela, and Greenland. And who does the administration have closest to them? Internet tech bros, who are worshipped by the right wing public. One big echo chamber, with little seed ideas dropped in.<br/><br/>So if Russia were to covertly attack the US military base in Greenland with drones, the US would be right to load up on resources in the area. Effectively enabling a staging area for further action in the name of ‘securing’ Greenland.<br/><br/>Only it doesn’t need to be ‘Russia’. It could be anyone, including the US. And it’s probably not in Russian interests to do so. <br/><br/>An *unprovoked attack* by the US would draw European military retaliation, bringing US participation in NATO to an end, enabling Russia further in the European theatre. A reminder that the disillusion of NATO, the EU, and nuclear disarmament is an agenda pushed by both the far right and the far left... and hostile nation states. Sounds fishy, right?<br/><br/>So what’s the goal? Well, it’s the same goal as all propaganda misinformation operations. Create political turbulence. Making us fight each other, while allowing the fringes to align on actions that ultimately cause all of us the most harm. 2026-01-07T08:52:18Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsfj7l77kex748wggjc882pqhhkcr8wuq6dm2jf2fqpgyczl5dd4fszyrm67phmemqww90xutp3yhg6wt5pm2dwqfnjyv45vdeym5g8ms5hcvjh89s In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsfde7w8t0dmeavj454raggy92kwna9mlrsvl02dycvdpyg735yatgle38ng'>nevent1q…38ng</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I appreciated it.

They will be negotiating will all of Europe (except maybe Hungary, until their reliance on Russian gas and oil subsides). This doesn’t make Zelenskyy look weak. It makes Europe look united, and that’s a far more worrying prospect to Putin than a strong-man in Ukraine. 2025-08-18T11:05:08Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsga63hkwa9ldmc67h0w87hl93q5ltlu0n0swpsen4u9awrdnf3xegzyrm67phmemqww90xutp3yhg6wt5pm2dwqfnjyv45vdeym5g8ms5hc7h87f7 This might sound a bit like vapid influencer bullshit (it’s hard to tell these days), but treat interviews like you’re seeing if the place is good enough for you to work there.<br/><br/>Don’t be arrogant, just be quietly confident and to the the point.<br/><br/>(Note: this only works if you know what you’re talking about for the role in question)<br/><br/>Brief story time… 2025-08-12T09:09:41Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqs22q7wta4pxkvevzg7yk94p2ce2my4qtrnqlxlcfxxsnuvavu66xszyrm67phmemqww90xutp3yhg6wt5pm2dwqfnjyv45vdeym5g8ms5hc5av8ln I’ve had my phone on ‘Do Not Disturb’ for three weeks now, it has been amazing. 2025-08-12T08:06:10Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqstuewg9d3pm0zrc3u59e7ngtzmlm8tvm74tzq54hn4kyjzlkn74cqzyrm67phmemqww90xutp3yhg6wt5pm2dwqfnjyv45vdeym5g8ms5hchca74s That’s what happens when you steal everybody’s research and regurgitate it.<br/><br/>I could make Excel ‘PhD level’, whatever that means.<br/><br/>You should note that this new model is only 2-5% better at making shit up than the last one.<br/><br/>It will take me, as usual, two minutes to have to correct this ‘expert’ and whatever field I choose. 🙄<br/><br/><a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cy5prvgw0r1o">https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cy5prvgw0r1o</a> 2025-08-08T06:52:00Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqs0gse87pz2h7sy9nvn68njn8ghlgxereq63hdz5ysl0cte0shehxgzyrm67phmemqww90xutp3yhg6wt5pm2dwqfnjyv45vdeym5g8ms5hcchy4ck Hey 👋 <br/><br/>Hope you’re all ok.<br/><br/>I’ve been having some time away from social media, constant media exposure etc. as I work though some things.<br/><br/>Recommend.

An area twice the size of France if no room is left between them.<br/><br/>I’m not even getting into power infrastructure.<br/><br/>And that’s just Google.

It would have been bloodier, and longer, but won nonetheless. This isn’t really up for debate, and has been explored extensively in academia.<br/><br/>See, by the time the US had entered the war, Germany was already on the back foot in the east, forced on a rearguard out of its newly claimed territories by Russia which lasted for nearly two years. Germany was running out of resources fast, and people were beginning to starve at home.<br/><br/>The British had all but defeated Italy, and a strong resistance movement sealed the deal. They’d successfully regained (as if they really lost it) naval supremacy, even with the u-boat threat, essentially blockading Germany from the Atlantic and sinking u-boats at an alarming rate by 1943. <br/><br/>This would have likely meant the land invasion of Europe would have been through Italy, which initially was the plan. It would have been bloodier, as Hitler was expecting this, but arguably shorter as it stretched Germany’s resources thinner still, all to the periphery of controlled territory, making supply line attacks even more devastating.<br/><br/>The US would likely have still been at war with Japan (but even this is in doubt due to resources, and if US involvement didn’t feel inevitable at the time) but Japan was already being pushed back by Chinese, British, Dutch, and by Indian forces, who all supported China’s pushback.<br/><br/>BUT, but, but, lend-lease I hear you ask…<br/><br/>1/2 2025-05-03T08:34:35Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqs8m5a6rra75zrrev8gka50xt5p7gzmpm6s9zs5k9wgp299z4v4qegzyrm67phmemqww90xutp3yhg6wt5pm2dwqfnjyv45vdeym5g8ms5hcuq64e9 Me noticing the instance rules and giving side eye to my post history.<br/> <img src="https://media.infosec.exchange/infosec.exchange/media_attachments/files/114/438/591/672/801/232/original/e372eff8a1656378.png"> <br/> 2025-05-02T14:00:38Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsvsxyxjz7wqpwj44vjstmxm94m2edfx0sml9hexekemmj2dv8jxjqzyrm67phmemqww90xutp3yhg6wt5pm2dwqfnjyv45vdeym5g8ms5hcrjl6vr Just thinking back to how we really did use ‘master’ and ‘slave’ when describing computer components, and people thought this was totally fine. 🙄 2025-05-01T09:01:16Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqs9eujwysfn9l9jw0j3pvxvazc4pmgf5k6nc4l03x0ep7d4hylytzczyrm67phmemqww90xutp3yhg6wt5pm2dwqfnjyv45vdeym5g8ms5hc0e5u8r The thing about using AI to replace jobs, is that you’re starting from a position where management has failed to hire appropriately.<br/><br/>Because if you’re using AI today to replace people, they have to be terrible at their jobs because AI is objectively bad at *gestures at everything* in a workplace.<br/><br/>What you’re saying is either your managers hired incompetent people, meaning they’re also incompetent, and their managers are equally incompetent.<br/><br/>OR AI is shit and you’re trying to save a buck, and this will all fall on your heads. 2025-04-30T21:49:04Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqs0lkmycw2xnvrcqftxjcp8egrfrj2y9tja8eeaf65aks269lntxeczyrm67phmemqww90xutp3yhg6wt5pm2dwqfnjyv45vdeym5g8ms5hcv82034 I hope you have the day you deserve and for most of you that’s a really good one :) 2025-04-30T07:28:03Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsrdyd3ms9r462hpe695vydc07hsxqfmrc34fjjd4aw0mpnn3eczzgzyrm67phmemqww90xutp3yhg6wt5pm2dwqfnjyv45vdeym5g8ms5hcymr5dk You know a really, really odd telltale sign I’ve found with the use of AI bots?<br/><br/>The overuse of the em dash.<br/><br/>— <br/><br/>Specifically with GPT 4 and Copilot. 2025-04-29T23:11:04Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsyamndr2e5lpgnue6x2uhtk82rwu3yraswqsm5z5ryef56tehxkfczyrm67phmemqww90xutp3yhg6wt5pm2dwqfnjyv45vdeym5g8ms5hcf7f7eq Weird hill to die on, but it’s a laugh a minute in the news from the US…<br/><br/>I can’t stress this enough.
