@nprofile1q... I am continually amazed at the way that the average American will accept a degree of surveillance from Amazon/Google/Facebook etc. that would leave them absolutely apoplectic if instituted by the government. Just because there is a veneer of convenience associated doesn't make it better.

@nprofile1q... thank you. that's good info.

@nprofile1q... I'd love to start something like this in my town, particularly because the nearest places with actual bike mechanics are a decent drive away. 2 questions for you:
1. What is a good way to go about getting the word out about something like this?
2. How do you figure out the supplies aspect of it? I'm thinking like brake pads, cables, that sort of thing.

@nprofile1q... It's important not to underestimate the psychological factors at play in the corporate AI push. Huge chunks of most organizations, and especially in leadership roles, are completely disconnected from actual work. Your boss probably only has a vague idea of what you actually do and their boss (boss^2) has no idea at all. Most of what they do all day is around managing i.e.: emails, meetings, talking etc. And AI **IS** a transformative technology to them precisely because it transforms something that they don't understand (coding, creating, etc.) into something that they do understand - managing an underling. That's at the root of this disconnect.

@nprofile1q... I just wanted to commiserate about the drool. My dog, also named Odin, is half Great Pyrenees and half Newfie and I need to get him one of the dog vests only instead of saying "Service Dog" it needs to say "Caution: Wet Floor".

@nprofile1q... AI stands for Assumption Intensifier.

@nprofile1q... I miss the pre-corporate internet

@nprofile1q... It's pure cowardice too. The administration has made it painfully clear that it is somewhere between apathetic and actively hostile to cyber security, so it's not as though appeasement is going to help them in any way.

@nprofile1q... Have him start a game of Houses and Humans
