[01:09] IsambardPrince The move, a tweak to the states existing WARN (Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification) system, took effect in March after it was first proposed in Governor Kathy Hochuls 2025 State of the State address. [01:09] IsambardPrince The change is minimal a checkbox added to an employer form required at least 90 days before a mass layoff or plant closure but its symbolically significant as the first official step toward measuring, and perhaps eventually regulating, AIs impact on the labor market." [01:10] IsambardPrince [...] [01:10] IsambardPrince "Theres real reputational risk in explicitly attributing a layoff to AI or automation, especially with growing public scrutiny around the impact of AI on jobs, said Sarah Rodehorst, co-founder and CEO of Onwards HR, a startup that helps companies with layoffs. Once a WARN notice becomes public, so does the narrative. For many companies, that sensitivity combined with a lack of aggressive enforcement [01:10] IsambardPrince makes the safer option to default to one of the 17 other reasons provided as options on the form, including economic or other." [01:10] IsambardPrince schestowitz[TR2], The narrative. [01:10] IsambardPrince The company is dying. [01:10] IsambardPrince The managers are idiots. [01:10] IsambardPrince The CEO is worse. [01:10] IsambardPrince Err, "AI" [01:15] IsambardPrince schestowitz[TR2], "You must buy a TV License." Yeah, is there an option to tell them to get fucked and that you will not respond to them pestering you every year? [01:18] IsambardPrince "If you tell us you dont need a licence we may visit you to check. If we then find that you have been watching, recording or streaming programmes illegally, you risk prosecution and a fine of up to 1,000 (2,000 in Guernsey) plus any legal costs and compensation you may be ordered to pay." [01:18] IsambardPrince I assume you don't have to answer the door. [01:18] IsambardPrince I'd just tell them to go away. [01:20] IsambardPrince http://www.bbctvlicence.com/ [01:20] TR Bot Letters from BBC Television Licensing/intro [01:21] IsambardPrince " [01:21] IsambardPrince Letters from BBC Television Licensing [01:21] IsambardPrince From the beginning of 2006, I decided not to renew my television licence. I found that my television viewing consisted almost entirely of tapes of old programmes purchased off Ebay, and that my watching of broadcast television was less than an hour a week. I therefore decided to stop watching broadcast television, and I today spend the 169.50 saved from the TV licence fee on video tapes and DVDs. It is a good decision; I now pay [01:21] IsambardPrince for what I watch, and not for what I don't watch. [01:21] IsambardPrince The only fly in the ointment has been aggressive letters from TV Licensing (TVL), which collects the licence fee on behalf of the BBC. TVL/BBC sends millions of letters every year to people who do not watch broadcast television, demanding payment. For many people, these letters can be very frightening. [01:21] IsambardPrince But the letters are a bluff; they are computer-generated. TVL/BBC have none of the powers their letters imply and, with a little knowledge, people can stand up to the bullies. The purpose of this website is to share my TVL/BBC letters as I receive them, and to provide useful information for people who have no time for the BBC. [01:22] IsambardPrince Click to view letters from 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019,, 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023 and 2024. Stay on this page for letters in 2025. Most commentary on the letters is during 2006-2009. [01:22] IsambardPrince January 2025 [01:22] IsambardPrince This is my twentieth year as someone who does not pay the BBC. I have saved 2,956 and, assuming 50p a letter, cost the BBC a further 98 in postage." [01:26] IsambardPrince schestowitz[TR2], "There has been an investigation going on for 20 years. We really mean it this month!" [01:26] IsambardPrince "we're super cereal!" [01:26] IsambardPrince "ManBearPig is real!" [01:26] IsambardPrince "You're in a lot of trouble Mister!"

[22:34] IsambardPrince *this [22:34] MinceR every single time i have to use MICROS~1 AUTHEN~1 i'm reminded of how monumentally shit their code and documentation both are [22:34] IsambardPrince It would be different if it was just wrong in subtle ways and injected bugs and it took weeks or months to spiral out of control. [22:34] IsambardPrince But it doesn't even work to begin with. [22:35] MinceR including that when you tell it "i can't use MICROS~1 AUTHEN~1 right now" _all_ the options it gives you depend on MICROS~1 AUTHEN~1 [22:35] IsambardPrince The first major thing to go wrong very expensively for Microsoft was Windows Vista. [22:35] IsambardPrince The development reset, the delays, having to support Windows XP forever. [22:35] MinceR they don't do subtly wrong [22:35] IsambardPrince That was their "Soviets in Afghanistan" era. [22:35] MinceR they do massively, fractally wrong in every single fucking way imaginable [22:35] MinceR and some unimaginable ones [22:36] psydruid Shitty Company writes Shitty Code [22:36] MinceR actually maybe they should try having chatgupta rewrite all their code [22:36] MinceR even if it works, it might end up being somewhat less broken [22:36] MinceR but in the good case, none of it starts ever again [22:36] MinceR and suits can't force any of it on us ever again [22:37] psydruid Airlift India Operations [22:38] psydruid Like the one MICROS~1 spent $1.5b on [22:44] admfubar https://free.law/2025/06/04/citator-annotation-volunteer/ [22:44] TR Bot Contribute your Expert Knowledge to Help Build the First Open-Source AI-Powered LegalCitator | Free Law Project | Making the legal ecosystem more equitable and competitive.

It's clear that they don't get them all. [23:09] IsambardPrince They may get 80% of them. [23:09] IsambardPrince The media is probably censoring how many actually land and blow something up.

[23:32] IsambardPrince When a place to get coffee rebrands as AI. [23:32] IsambardPrince schestowitz[TR2], ^ [23:32] IsambardPrince It's not great coffee. [23:32] IsambardPrince It's not cheap coffee. [23:32] IsambardPrince But it is technically a "coffee place". [23:32] IsambardPrince They're basically expensive McDonald's. [23:33] IsambardPrince You know, if you hit up McDonald's right as they make the coffee, it's not bad. [23:33] IsambardPrince I remember when you could get a large coffee with cream and sugar at McDonald's for 65 cents. [23:34] IsambardPrince It's like $4 now I think. [23:34] IsambardPrince I was at Kwik Trip the other day and got a fountain soda. It's rare that I do these days, because it's a treat not something you end up with because the water is so bad. [23:35] IsambardPrince Anyway, it was $1.59 for the 32 ounce one. I remember when 32 ounces was considered extravagant, huge. [23:35] MinceR do starbucks have burgers and fries? [23:35] IsambardPrince They were 59 cents in 1992. [23:35] IsambardPrince Now they make them in 64 ounces. Who the hell needs a 64 ounce soda? [23:35] IsambardPrince And those are like $2.89 [23:36] IsambardPrince MinceR, No, Starbucks has some sandwiches. [23:36] IsambardPrince Pastries. [23:36] MinceR then no, they're not basically expensive McDonald's [23:36] MinceR they're worse. [23:36] IsambardPrince They try to make it just pretentious enough that you'll mispronounce some word. [23:36] IsambardPrince Often one they made up just for Starbucks. [23:36] IsambardPrince Which is like faux Italian or something. [23:37] IsambardPrince MinceR, You have to knock the customer down a notch. [23:37] IsambardPrince "We're not worthy!"

How did I get here? Well, we like food. [23:39] IsambardPrince They arrange that you can get the fee back pretty easily by going to a restaurant occasionally. [23:39] IsambardPrince Which I do anyway. [23:49] *SomeGoat has quit (connection closed)
