Hey, I'm gonna put this out there now:
When the backlash of the true cost of LLM becomes critical and companies start having to bend to hire and rehire talent they cut because "AI is here and we don't need humans anymore"? That needs to come with tech worker unionization.
Start planning this now if you're in a position to. Quietly. You don't have the upper hand yet, but either you will soon, or we'll all be screwed. Choose optimism for this one.

Today I visited a place that used to host a duck. As I entered, a very serious looking security dude tabbed his hand on his pocketed gun and with a deadpan tone said: 'no ducks this time, we'll make sure of that'.
After a second or two he burst out laughing and told me how much he had enjoyed the duck story.
Standing next to me was the manager of the location who had just explained how he was sooooo done with the duck thing.
Pure happiness.
A reminder to all the TERFs and transphobic queers out there that the first Pride was a riot, literally. And it was led by trans women and drag queens, including Marsha P. Johnson, as well as lesbians, who refused to submit to police bodily searches during a raid on the Stonewall Inn night club, and who fought back during the cops' attempts to mass arrest patrons and community members.

re: copilot price rise
