See your brain went immediately to a solution based on knowing how something works. That’s not in the AI wheelhouse.

He can definitely be the face of the right. Let Asmongold be what people think of when someone airs those kinds of opinions.

Zohran keeps things on policy, which is the only arena the personality cult and party faithful can’t go.

I find marionberry jam to be the superior option along with raspberry, although I agree strawberry is better than grape.

However I have never tried white/gold grape jam (made from green grapes) which I’ve often seen spiced, so I imagine that might have potential.

Exactly: Minimize effort, maximize return. Do nothing, get credit.

Fake or not, they too buy the line of "If you vote for us and get us total control you’ll get everything you want.’ despite there being a precedent of getting the opposite under the current system. They’ll say their party just hasn’t gotten all or enough of the power yet and that’s why there’s problems. And those people continue to vote for party because ‘that’s what you do’ in their community.

There was this whole phase of Lemmy where it was looking like an alternative instead of a clone.

So maybe Lemmy was almost like a clone of Schwartz-era reddit, before becoming more of a transplant of post-2014 or even Spez era reddit.

After his stroke his spouse became a strong component of his campaign. She seemed more progressive speaking on his behalf.

At that point though it was all hands on deck to prevent Oz and the GOP winning.

I gauge things through his spouse and how she was a large part of his popularity and momentum on the campaign trail, especially after the stroke and the primary.

So on some level people were kind of voting for her. And she’s pretty much disappeared.

I get what you mean, and it’s a common thought and strategy. It just doesn’t work as well as one might think. Unless there is a union, employees are at a significant disadvantage. Forming a union would be FAR more effective than quoting OSHA regs.

The main thing is regulatory violations aren’t (usually) criminal so there’s a long administrative process to most enforcement actions. Companies overwhelmingly have the resources to litigate beyond their employees means. So if they have the resources to have legal council or a compliance officer, there likely needs to be a well documented paper trail of concealment or otherwise flagrant disregard or denial of improved conditions.

There not being A/C isn’t enough. Refusing requests to install A/C is better. The company removing workers fans to make a point goes further in a case. Then putting out an internal memo requiring zero ventilation and to lie to investigators is a strong case.

The fear of god isn’t enforceable. The main thing you do in referencing OSHA is to demonstrate a level of knowledge, commitment, or at least interest in the issue. And most of the time it is the appearance of concealing a condition that is the enforced violation. This is usually what companies are actually sensitive to.

So while an OSHA violation is a serious thing, the conditions in question here (heat) are not a regulation that can be violated and therefore enforced in the same way.

Yep, and precisely why there is the need to develop an argument in defining ‘reasonable’ instead of just citing the applicable law or regulation. The OSHA recommendation provides a less arbitrary foundation for defining a reasonable temperature.

The OSHA recommendation is 68-76F, which isn’t a direct link to ‘reasonable’ but provides a suitable context to frame workplace conditions.

If people’s body temperatures can be measured exceeding 100F a link to heat stress and increasing risk of injury in the workplace can also be drawn as it’s generally the equivalent of working with a fever.

If a state is to be held accountable for non-state actors then I do not believe Israel or the United States has any moral high ground whatsoever. Even less than if we strictly limit the scope to only state actions.

Very plausibly what started as a FBI monitoring tool which no longer has any staff with knowledge of the program anymore.

Why can’t your workers be your workers, your family be your family, your friends be your friends?

Welp. That’s all I need!

They don’t seem to know what the ‘T’ stands for.

I got into AI in 2023 for a few months just to see if I could make sense of it all.

The whole thing as an industry is almost entirely smoke and mirrors meant to confuse, obscuring theft and fraud.

It does have some neat applications and opportunities, (generating templates; storyboarding) but warrants a small R&D team of enthusiasts, not the collective investment and resources of entire nations.

They’re likely repurposing existing mechanisms western companies already have built and use. IIRC Apple or Amazon admitted this when they clarified they weren’t ‘listening’ per se.
