Happy Gilmore is ruined for me.

Interesting that for the musk article, it has the “see edits” button disabled. ha

She Rides Shotgun - basically Lone Wolf and Cub + Breaking Bad combo. I loved the novel back when it came out, the film is reasonably faithful to it.

Apologies for doing journal club instead of sneer club.

Voiseux, G., Tao Zhou, R., & Huang, H.-C. (Brad). (2025). Accepting the unacceptable in the AI era: When & how AI recommendations drive unethical decisions in organizations. Behavioral Science & Policy, 0(0). https://doi.org/10.1177/23794607251384574

abstract:

In today’s workplaces, the promise of AI recommendations must be balanced against possible risks. We conducted an experiment to better understand when and how ethical concerns could arise. In total, 379 managers made either one or multiple organizational decisions with input from a human or AI source. We found that, when making multiple, simultaneous decisions, managers who received AI recommendations were more likely to exhibit lowered moral awareness, meaning reduced recognition of a situation’s moral or ethical implications, compared with those receiving human guidance. This tendency did not occur when making a single decision. In supplemental experiments, we found that receiving AI recommendations on multiple decisions increased the likelihood of making a less ethical choice. These findings highlight the importance of developing organizational policies that mitigate ethical risks posed by using AI in decision-making. Such policies could, for example, nudge employees toward recalling ethical guidelines or reduce the volume of decisions that are made simultaneously.

so is the moral decline a side effect, or technocapitalism working as designed.

Tucker - Every Tech Billionaire Is Having the Same Haunting Vision. Demonologist Explains Why

Nick Land Responds to Tucker Carlson

WTF. how is he going mainstream.

e

LAND: I mean, I’m obviously skeptical of the fact that large chunks of Silicon Valley are engaged in occult rituals involving involving a numogram. But I mean, it’s not something I guess I have any authority to to talk about. Well, I mean, I can only say that they they certainly aren’t in contact with me if if that is happening. They’re they’re doing it very, you know, if not privately at least. It’s my involvement is is actually zero in that.

jwz ditching basecamp - decent discussion. tbh, I ctrl-f’d for the Jira sneers. Also includes a GitLab sneer that was not on my radar.

AI Shovelware: One Month Later by Mike Judge

The fact that we’re not seeing this gold rush behavior tells you everything. Either the productivity gains aren’t real, or every tech executive in Silicon Valley has suddenly forgotten how capitalism works.

… por que no los dos …
