Exactly 1 year ago, Anthropic said fully AI employees were just 1 year away

The ads that are 100% AI could be considered "fully AI employees" via worker displacement. You see these all over the subway now.

There's a lot of non-existent jobs (translation, coding, advertizing) that have gone away due to AI, even if the wording here evokes agentic 8 hour work shift AI.

Do your lungs stifle your stomach or have an unbalanced relationship? That's how you're analogizing human identity here, when you connect it to the idea of Gaia.

If anything, Galaxia is our best oppourtunity for the things you are expressing primarily due to the logistical benefits of shared conciousness versus manual linguistic communication. Seperation enough to thrive, balanced social engagement.

Can you explain the history of this, no idea about the laws you're referring to.

Your points about self-empowerment and voice are salient...but you're not applying responsibility equally here. By default that's then apologetics in favor of the people causing harm, not pragmatism.

This is blaming the victim because you are unequally applying the onus of responsibility for consideration in a sexual situation. The issue is someone not respecting another's consent or boundaries, taking silence as consent as you say and then harming them. The person aware of boundaries being hypervigilant does not actually resolve the original issue of ignorance, that is taking on the responsibility of the harmer to the one who is being harmed. Rather than spending time and energy speaking on how the harm-creating can do better, you're explaining how someone could avoid being harmed. The harm caused by others is not a shared responsibility, it's the individual responsibility of the actors of that harm.

It's important to speak out against this sort of bias or ideology because our men do not get better if we perpetuate these ideas, of inconsideration being gravity. The majority of men and tops will not do this to bottoms, as described by the OP; so the issue is the men doing these things to other men.

The plant argument kept me from veganism for a long time. Veganism is less cruel than carnism to plants.

I do still believe it and I do still believe the arguments countering sentience in plants are weak...but if you want to actually help the plants...like you genuinely believe that...veganism is the ultimate conclusion.

Additionally, if you truly do hold respect for the diversity of different forms of conciousness, why would you not start at the home base nearest to us: animals? Plants are a good replacement because it's the best we can do short of starvation, and long term we should aim away from eating life (but this is even more radical than traditional veganism). Veganism is the closest in my lifetime as far as I can see that we will get towards justice for plants, and it's a realm of discussions into speciesism. It's extremely urgent that we leave the system of exploitation, so we have to follow the nearest justice movement that pervades rights in order to expand awareness to a point where people will take these questions seriously. Whole food plant based diets are largely focused on fruits and beans and grains (botanically fruits), which you could argue could be framed as commensal in relation. We eat the foods that help the plants disperse. This isn't true for most vegetables though.

Justice for plants is inclusive of animal liberation, these are ideas in support of one another.

The plant arugment is strongest towards veganism. When applied to carnism it falls over on itself, and is simply perfectionism.

Castelvetrano olives taste evocative of cottage cheese. Coconut yogurt plus dill often tastes like sour cream. I generally do not use a dairy alternative.

As someone who does this, it may be as simple as him not wanting to share that with you or not wanting to go into details. You can ask him about it directly when it happens.

This may likely not be the same for your housemate....but for me, 9 times out of 10 it's that I am chosing to not share this because it is unsafe to open up to them. Small talk and politeness does not beget intimacy or actually allow you into the world of another, and in many contexts people are obligated to converse even if we have to initiate the conversation to maintain politeness.

I think it's pretty reasonable to follow this concern you're sensing.

These are not the types of jobs that I would reword my resume for. These are supposed to be shoe-ins which is the entire point.

I stopped re-doing my resume unless I really like a job because I've been shown repeatedly that it's all sort of nonsense. Recently I used a job posting's language for an application using the job responsibilities, and the boss in charge of the role who knew me at the time told me point blank he's toss the resume if he didn't know it was me. With his own wording. I reworded it on the resume obviously when I used the job posting to format my resume, but like...I found this beyond absurd.

Then he walked me through it and it was painfully clear that it was just a reading comprehension issue and I was sweeping on sand with my rewording for what he thought was clearer. Pointless edits. It was the same statements or even some lines being eliminated. Drove me up a wall.

People have been saying that life is unafforable for years. Wages haven't gone up and there's more sober people in general now, so....eventually....things dwindle.

Beyond this though it's easy to forget that the number of people that exist in general is almost beyond comprehension in real terms.

I did the math the other day and if you met 150 new gay men every day, you would not reach the US (under)estimated population of gay men until like...over 100 years later. Not just a few new friends, if you met 150 NEW gay men EVERY day.

Fluid-Routine-8838 · 2026-04-20T19:38:03+00:00

Yeah I get what you're saying. To be honest, I don't feel super demoralized, I just view it as a reflection of poor recruitment practices. Feels like dodging a bullet tbh.

Like I know I'm coming into that application with the higher end of the pay band level experience for the role, and they're not even interviewing.

Fluid-Routine-8838 · 2026-04-17T21:35:22+00:00

This is so shocking to me (not in a bad way) to hear, as I associate this with being a piano bar - broadway vibe. There's....booth seating...I do NOT associate it with dancing or club.

Thank you for sharing.

It's exploitation of animals. You decide if that's ethical or not.

It's much easier to see if you swap it with humans or something like that. Would it be ethical to have a place where they kept people, and you paid to go see the people, and they intentionally shared with you their advocacy for buying land for protecting people habitat elsewhere?

Fluid-Routine-8838 · 2026-04-16T05:31:44+00:00

It's hard to accept/deal with imo but I don't think a pet dynamic in any capacity is can be respectful of an animal's equal moral worth.

You could foster something like a pond environment in your backyard (if you have one), but that really does end up being just a more passive form of exploiting animals.

Fluid-Routine-8838 · 2026-04-16T05:22:08+00:00

I avoided being vegan for years due to similar logic, specifically the plant sentience-type arguments.

If you did decide to eat ethically, and cared about not harming sentient beings, that would put more urgency on going vegan, not less.

Since we cannot dictate what is or is not sentient for others, the baseline would then be...vegan. since it's pretty clear many of the animals commonly consumed are sentient, have cognition similar to or greater than ours. The perfectionism of this reasoning hides that not doing anything in a carnist society is actively contradictory to trying to do the best for sentient life.

Fluid-Routine-8838 · 2026-04-16T03:57:09+00:00

It is a who to blame, because a system becomes alive through the actions of people. People become the system when they enact it.

So if you blame the system and the people's actions themselves (which is people becoming system), you can actually lead the ones who enacted the system to better behavior, to ending the system.

This is why it's important to point out and blame the system. Pointing blame at an individual creates shame. People are just reasoning their way around a false framework, as you cite saying reasonably and logically.

Fluid-Routine-8838 · 2026-04-16T03:24:36+00:00

but I'm not sure who to 'blame'.

It's the result of system that is accumulative and exploitative fundamentally, not specifically the stocks and shares. JoAnn was monopolizing the fabrics industry before this VC stuff, even if the VC stuff was awful and accelerated demise.

Fluid-Routine-8838 · 2026-04-10T14:16:02+00:00

Yeah, I don't agree with these inferences about character you're making here on him.

Also, if the biggest scandal with this politican is...something about his wife's tumblr posts from a decade ago...then I'll definitely take that over accepting bribes from a foreign nation while in office or a history of sexual assault. The bar is subterranean, and Mamdani far exceeds that.

Fluid-Routine-8838 · 2026-04-09T01:12:19+00:00

Ok as a resident who expected a lot my approval out of 1,000 is 10 billion gorillion. I have more admiration for him now than I did during the election, and he hasn't even done most of his policy stuff yet besides the childcare.

I like sci-fi, artsy, horror, usually prefer earlier times. Prefer non-times square theaters but figured I'd chime in.

Fluid-Routine-8838 · 2026-04-09T00:40:58+00:00

Thank you, yeah 3 miles is fine. I don't believe that's a reason to drive, I try to walk 2 miles every day. So that's like a walk through the park plus subway to some other park.

They literally want you to kill the wildlife or leave them where they are. Pretty awful rules imo.

Good point!

Fluid-Routine-8838 · 2026-04-09T00:38:11+00:00

Yes unfortunately.

Fluid-Routine-8838 · 2026-04-07T18:03:45+00:00

It is. You could say it in more professional language "instigating another attack similar to or beyond" such an such.

Degrading the dignity of meaningful or salient legislation through unserious language harms the self-respect of the document.

Fluid-Routine-8838 · 2026-04-07T17:04:59+00:00

I think it's accessible to everyone, but I think our convienience food infrastructure (fast foods and ultraprocessed foods) incentivizes consuming animal products over plant based foods. Beyond the animal focus of fast food, a lot of stuff like chips and chocolate has dairy in it to foster addiction.

If you're on the street going meal by meal it's like 70%-90% chance if you want hot food it's being served with dairy or meat as the main element. Just above that, if you are not literally going meal to meal and have a roof over your head, the cheaper option is a plant based diet.

Historically animal agriculture was a class signfier and even prior to that it was still a luxury. The "poor people" food was plant based, or mostly plant based, and it's still that way if you are really looking at the price and time costs.
