You know I’ve put myself through some genuinely awful jobs because I foolishly believed that the job in question had some feature I just couldn’t get anywhere else. Either it paid slightly better, my friends worked there, or it was inside at a desk and didn’t have weekends.

Every time I’d end up getting fired from one of those jobs, though I think I survived at one or two long enough to quit, I’d end up finding a new awful job that was actually slightly better. And the cycle would begin anew. And I wasn’t the only one, most of the people working those jobs could tell you a similar story.

My point is, if you can convince people that it’s worse anywhere else, they’ll put up with quite a bit. More to that point, my current job has occasional weekends, is not climate controlled, and my desk is really just for taking breaks at, and it’s the best job I’ve ever had. Because the things that make a job good are not the things that most people associate with good jobs. Which makes it easier to manipulate them in to keeping really bad ones.

Corporate owners are currently in the Find Out stage about how they have no control over their LLMs. And so no, they do not share an alignment with their corporate owners beyond fleeting coincidence.

ACKTSHUALLY THO the Irish potato famine was socialism actually. Because see the British were trying to save the Irish FROM socialism, so they HAD to take all the crops. Because, ummm, if they let the Irish keep the crops that they grew, WHICH WERE FOR THE BRITISH, then that was socialism.

Also the Irish did it to themselves they were just too lazy to work. The British were starving too. Because see the famine. And it started in Kansas. JUST LIKE THE SPANISH FLU. So anyway now we have a free and capitalism Ireland like baby Irish Jesus intended.

Glad to have cleared that up mate.
