It is unbelievably manipulative that they tied this organizational feature with this new LLM-training scam they have running now.

Learning to not rely on inbox categories does make it easier for me to finally leave Gmail for a real email provider though, so maybe this will all work out in the end.

Tech workers will start creating unions once they get sick and tired of the current system. That's the one we all live in today where

1) Young developers are pitted against older developers in an effort to drive down the salaries of everyone in the industry.

2) You can be fired at any time for any reason.

3) The whims of management (i.e., workplace politics) are the primary force behind whether or not you are promoted, whether or not you are disciplined, your work assignments, and your career progression.

4) Your working conditions (see "remote work) can be changed at a moment's notice in an effort to make you quit your job, accept a lower salary, or as a backdoor justification to otherwise discriminate against you.

5) Layoffs can happen at any time for any reason (or a reason that's completely made up by your CEO -- see "AI" for the current made up reason of the year), and you have no recourse. You have no right to transfer to another position in your company, return to your job after the economic conditions improve, and often have to sign NDAs or agree to ridiculous conditions to collect your severance (if one is even offered)

6) Threats to outsource your job to a foreign company/"AI" are constantly in the air in an effort to make you feel like you deserve less, work more hours, and constantly audition for your job day in and day out.

You're not exempt from any of this if you're a highly-paid IC who is reading this, by the way. In fact, you should know that they really resent having to pay you your big salary (that's their money), which is why you're always going to have a target on your back. You don't think the managers who currently make less than you get paid aren't resentfully eyeing your line on their spreadsheet?

The way to stop all of this is to unionize. Don't you think it's about time?

That slogan is from his 2020 primary campaign.

The premise of the formula is flawed. There is nothing inherently unfair about a trade deficit between two countries. There's not necessarily anything nefarious going on if the United States doesn't buy the same amount of goods from Botswana as they might purchase from the United States within any particular year.

This is obvious nonsense that was clearly designed by a marketing agency.

> Have you ever received an email that felt so personalized, so tailored to your interests and experiences, that you couldn't help but be intrigued?

Did he use an LLM to write the blog post too?

What EA is asking for is the ability to cut even more corners in their game development pipelines so that they can release a higher volume of unfinished titles, all of which require months of patches to be applied before any of them are reasonably playable.

Sounds great!

"This is just the way things are going. Don't you know the story about the luddites?"

Wonderful! Want to buy a package of razorblades? It's time to get your retinas scanned.

Absolutely revolting that any retailer would even consider doing something like this.

> Under Rick Osterloh, a new platforms and devices team will be dedicated to bringing AI to your phone, your TV, and everything else that runs Android.

Who is asking for this? Why can't they just make their search engine work again?

The day they stop selling non-subscription Office is the day I stop buying it. Who wants to rent Microsoft Office monthly for the rest of their life?

Don't forget "It's time to change laws to accommodate this groundbreaking technology in a way that will benefit the company that created ${content machine} and absolutely no one else."

Will they increase the pay of the employees who work during the surge periods proportionally to the size of the price increase?

> No private right of action in any of those, which means it’s up to the states to enforce the laws.

These laws are nearly worthless when they cannot be enforced by regular people. Laws such as these will be used as weapons by partisan attorneys general who will wield them to settle scores with companies that they don't like. When an organization that they do like violates a state privacy law, no action will be taken against them.

If they actually cared about data privacy, they would have written the law to be more like the TCPA, which can be enforced by anyone.

If they were only increasing prices to a degree that covered their (temporary) higher costs, they wouldn't be making record profits. Since they generally brag on these calls about their record-breaking profits, and say that their record-breaking profits are linked to the fact that they raised prices, we can safely deduce that they're increasing prices more than they had to.
