• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do office workers actually do?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Account Manager at a marketing agency, I run ~5 marketing departments with a mix of my own staff, outsourced contractors and employees at my clients’ businesses.

  We create marketing campaigns that consist of a set of emails, social posts, ads, thought leadership articles, blogs, landing pages, downloadable PDF reports and the attendant reporting on how they performed, plus finding and targeting the audiences in various segments. It’s a mix of database management, creative writing and design, project planning and communication meetings.

  I generally spend about a 1-2 hours a day on each client, plus meetings. We make and send the collateral, get approval, execute, track, measure, compare, make a strategic conclusion, repeat

  unlike other comments, I’d argue, like most tech, it was incredibly profitable for anyone except the people funding it.

  Business is not about extracting money from goods and services, it’s about tricking VC funders to give you 50 million dollars a year

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's with "*checks notes*" everywhere?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  it actually reached its peak in 2018 per this slate article: slate.com/…/checks-notes-was-the-perfect-trump-er…

  It was a big Twitter meme, like Yo Dawg I Heard You Like…, or Hawk Tuah, or Trogdor or whatever. People hear funny thing, repeat funny thing.

  i think it’s more likely that everyone would race to the bottom to make the cheapest Marvel, Pokémon, Disney, Star Wars, Harry Potter spin offs, merch and content they could.

  interestingly, too, this is a technique when you’re improving songs, it’s called Target Rhyming.

  The most effective way is to do A/B^1/C/B^2 rhymes. You pick the B^2 rhyme, let’s say, “ibruprofen” and you get all of A and B^1 to think of a rhyme

  Oh its Christmas time
  And I was up on my roof when
  I heard a jolly old voice
  Ask me for ibuprofen

  And the audience thinks you’re fucking incredible for complex rhymes.

  Many atheists take part in racism and violence. There was plenty during the Cold War, collapse of Yugoslavia, Gulf War, post-9/11 and both Trump terms.

  if you have a soup of all liquids and a sieve that only lets coffee and ice cream through it produces coffee ice cream (metaphor, don’t think too hard about it)

  that’s how gen ai works. each step sieves out raw data to get closer to the prompt.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Your voice assistant is profiling you, just not in the way you expect, new research finds.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  studies were done and found similar to what you’re saying.

  also the secret listening does not comport with any of the business side of profile marketing, either. So it would have to be an incredibly well kept secret on top of all of that.

  they do, it’s just written down. IPA isn’t that hard to learn.

  The Jim Rose circus is a famous counter-culture performance. At the show I saw a woman put paint in her butt and farted it onto a canvas. There was also light bulb eating, further nudity, chainsaw juggling etc

  In that context, it would be surprising to see them tweet about botany, making this kinda a joke tweet in itself that they would tweet this, which is why it has the commentary.

  I’ve recently learned Americans don’t do log tables in high school.

  Log is the opposite of exponent, so log2 is the opposite of squared, log 3 the opposite of cubed. log4 opposite of x^4 etc

  instead of making things relatively bigger, you’re going the other way and making things smaller.

  Freddie Mercury and Prince?

  Their only controversy is that they liked sex and were bi to my mind, which as someone who that also applies to, I don’t see as immoral.
