Laying off a union member while she's on maternity leave, hearing the baby cry on calls while we try to figure out how to extend their healthcare during a pandemic, is not something I am going to forget, and I'm not going to let the company forget it either.

this is a fascinating thing that's happening because of covid. pro drivers can't race IRL, so they're all racing in this game, but you can't die in a video game crash so everything is changing and people are raw as hell

UPDATE: number of videos on pornhub all over the place. started at 13 mil, went down to 5, up to 7, now at 4.8. I assume a lot of this is just funky indexing issues, need to wait for the dust to settle to understand impact:

wow, cool. what did you train it on? Is it possibly thousands of YouTube videos you don't have permission to use? lmk
We trained a new version of Gen-3 Alpha, Turbo, that can generate videos 7x faster than the original Gen-3 Alpha, while matching its performance on many use cases. We’ll be rolling out Turbo for Image to Video with significantly lower pricing over the coming days while also

chant it across the country: They're drinking mad water.
I just spoke to Chris Smalls, president of Amazon Labor Union, outside NLRB in Brooklyn about the fact that the union is leading Amazon 738-600. He said of Amazon’s lawyers in the vote count room “I love watching them squirm. They’re drinking mad water.”

the government has put retail workers in an impossible situation. you can't ask them to fight crazy customers and force them to wear masks. it's not their job.
OK, so I've done some reporting on GameStop's new mask policy, and here's the problem: an internal memo tells employees they *cannot* ask someone to leave if they refuse to wear a mask and must let them finish their purchase.
