A study just came out that was posted in Hexbear showing at least 15% of Reddit content is corporate botting so we should just have some fun with LLMs and AstroTurf it instead like everyone else is doing

If I were Europe I wouldn’t store my flammable gas reserves in a war zone
The sinister oriental never does things for their own sake but always with some ulterior motive.
Protect the people from COVID? More slaves for the machine because the communists cynically want more workers for their factories.
Build a hospital in Africa? Colonialism! Just like how when the British went to India they spent the whole time building hospitals, I guess.
Unilaterally and unconditionally forgive debt for the poorest 20% of nations on earth? Scheming for influence and seeking to sway Africa away from western bankers who just want to help :(
Investing in production instead of property portfolios like FOOLS
Sugangeese nuts
When I was a teenager, I remember being explicitly taught “critical thinking” at school and to read the news using lenses.
Who was speaking? What is their motivation? How do they want me to feel after reading what they wrote? Etc those “the medium is the message” questions that should come before you even read the news itself.
Now I’m called insane because I don’t believe the New York Times and if I point out the entire news media is controlled by billionaires I’m a conspiracist.
Don’t forget refinement where you describe your plan to add the “height: 80pt” rule (literally what the client wants), and then poker planning where you say it will be 1 point and the lead dev says 3 points and the other dev asks what is a point anyway leading to a time consuming discussion, and then the task gets scheduled for not next sprint but the sprint after, and then you do it and push your code, make a pull request, then during code review it is suggested you use tailwind instead but your project isn’t using tailwind because it’s some legacy PHP monster started by a junior who was just learning PHP, so now there’s a POC to consider using tailwind meanwhile the lead dev (who has a background in QA) designs a reusable “height engine” which uses rabbitmq to alert all worker nodes (there’s only one) about any changes to the height rules in mongodb. The height engine doesn’t include units so you have to hardcode if the client is expecting rem or pt. The product owner asks you in sprint review why this ended up taking a week when you said 1 point initially and the team agreed on 3. A team decision is made that all future CSS rule changes require a POC prior to implementation.
