"Bros before polls" needs to be popularized. People try to make rape culture a partisan thing, but truly, the only time anyone cares about survivors is when they think they can use us to beat up the Big Man they don't like in favour of the Big Man they do. Otherwise, we're expected to hush up.

Alex Hanna@alexhanna.bsky.social · 2mo agoThis is an absolutely hilarious coming from an Uber exec. No ROI on AI tools, you say?? Hrm!
![Email with subject line: Uber COO Says AI Lacks ROI
From The Information's Applied AI newsletter.
The body says:
Many corporate leaders say they’re getting value from AI as their spending on it skyrockets, but hype is outpacing reality in plenty of cases.
On a podcast over the weekend, for instance, Uber Chief Operating Officer Andrew Macdonald said the ride-hailing company isn’t seeing a clear increase in productivity from using AI coding services despite their use by its engineering teams. That has prompted executives to discuss how to get a handle on token consumption costs, he said.
“If you‘re not actually able to draw a direct line to how much useful features and functionality you’re shipping to your users, [the costs become] harder to justify,” Macdonald said on the podcast.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:m4fvxlyv4gqpugzszzp4cjxf/bafkreiajqowzkaxajz3mo2rv5xii4gr6uwbucadecppgowgxwch52bieoa)
UNIVERSITY. I'm aghast when K-12 schools are accused of housing "porn" (read: book mentions gay stuff). These are adults. And this is the US, which could draft people of this age into (usually illegal) warfare, but considers them too delicate for human sexuality.
