You don’t need to hold crypto to pay with crypto. You just only buy exactly enough to make your payment right when you are going to do so. Yes you’re still buying crypto but you’re also immediately cashing out so there’s no risk of being caught holding the bag.

That’s the mentality that gets people to become prison guards and ice agents. There are plenty of jobs out there, nobody needs to work for these scum companies.

They go up as soon as there is any excuse to raise them.

If LLMs weren’t so damn sycophantic,

Has anyone made a nonsycophantic chat bot? I would actually love a chatbot that would tell me to go fuck myself if I asked it to do something inane.

Me: “Whats 9x5?”

Chatbot: “I don’t know. Try using your fingers or something?”

Edit: Wait, this is just glados.

This happens all the time even on the federal level. My company just ate a several thousand $ fine because we were working on a site where the plumbers didn’t mark an open pit while plumbing a mop sink. We were the HVAC contractors working on the roof. We were not even working in the same area and had no way of knowing what the plumbers were doing. OSHA didn’t care. Every company who was working the job got hit with a fine for continuing work on an unsafe site. It’s complete bullshit but, at the same time, everyone onsite is going to think twice about ever working with those plumbers again. So even though it’s complete and utter shit, it is probably the most effective tool at their disposal with current laws.

I’ll tell yah though. Ever since I got put on adderall, I’ve never been properly congested. Amphetamines do help keep your sinuses clear. So she wasn’t completely wrong.
