Creating a platform for onboarding and performance reviews of “AI workers” makes as much sense as creating a cafeteria for laptops.
Even if “AI workers” were a real thing today, you won’t need HR platforms to create PTO and work from home policies for them. 🤦🏾♂️
What sort of nightmare complicity is this?

Why are my live regions not working? by @patrick_h_lauke

Unfortunately, I was in the middle of a short editing session when the OSM outage (apparently due to a #DDoS) occurred. So I’m keeping my tab with iD and my pending changes open (hopefully not needing to rely on LocalStorage). I wish I had used #JOSM so I could save my session to a local file, but I was on a laptop without JOSM.

Did any Canadian mainstream media at all ever report on a Trumpster billionaire laundering money thru Rebel Media to rw violent extremists?
NYTimes: "Tech billionaire Robert Shillman paid roughly $7,000 a month, for a year, through a right-wing Canadian media outlet called Rebel Media"
