The most respectful thing we can do is honor his beliefs:

The picture looks unusually HD, and the font looks like a common AI font. Seems like there actually is a particularly fat bear named Otis though, so idk. Maybe it’s a real, high quality image with an unfortunate font choice, maybe it’s a fake image inspired by the real bear, who knows.

Exactly. Fewer juniors means fewer seniors in the future.

There are tasks that are necessary but tedious. These are tasks that either consume the time of experienced professionals, or are offloaded to inexperienced professionals when payroll allows.
Tedious tasks are perfect candidates for automation, especially when the result is much easier to verify than to find. This frees the experienced professional to do interesting work.

The main threat is to junior professionals. AI won’t replace “actual” jobs, but it certainly has the potential to reduce them by giving one person the ability to do the work of multiple people. This is almost certain to primarily affect junior positions whose grunt-work is offloaded to AI, thus reducing the number of qualified senior professionals in the future.

Depends actually, many places have At Will employment where you are correct, but not everywhere. In many places it’s illegal to fire someone without cause.

Kinda reminds me of when I was using dating apps, and women would ask how they knew I wasn’t a serial killer. “If I was a serial killer, it would be pretty stupid to leave a bunch of digital records of me being the last person my victim talked to, I’d get caught immediately.”
- Comment on Why aren't you creating more workers?? 3 weeks ago:
I want biological kids, and I’m right about the point in my life where it would make the most sense to have them. But whenever family asks about it, I tell them I’m not raising children in this kind of administration. They try to suggest that it’s not that bad and I stand firm that they’re not seeing grandbabies until the government stops being so fashy.
Actually, millennials could probably hold our hypothetical babies hostage, see what’s more important to them.

A general strike without an appropriately sized general fund is a recipe for a laughably short strike.
- Comment on Why do i tip my bartender $2 per drink and per bar food order but 20% when I order food from a waitress? Am I tipping wrong? 3 weeks ago:
I think reasonable people can disagree on this point, on whether not tipping constitutes a secondary exploitation.
No, they cannot. Disagreement here is not reasoned, it is just another example of clever people using their cleverness to justify unreasonable prior beliefs.
You can boycott a business, and write them to express that your boycott is based on their tipping policy. That would be a reasonable strategy to support the workers.
By still giving the business owners money, knowing they pay their staff sub-minimum wages based on the convention of tipping, and then not tipping, you have not communicated any disapproval to management. You have in fact directly supported the business owner exploiting their workers, and joined that exploitation for personal benefit. That’s the opposite of supporting the worker.

The result of either choice – boycotting places that pay less than minimum wage, or not tipping at those places – doesn’t change the fact that the staff are being underpaid, which is the root exploitative practice.
Yes, but boycotting those places is justifiable. Going anyway and just not tipping is actively participating in the exploitation.

The way I see it, if the place requires tips for their staff to get by, then the staff are being financially abused and I would be propping up a system of exploitation. Prioritise places that pay their staff above the minimum wage.
Second sentence is fine, feel free to boycott places that pay below minimum wage. But if you do go to an establishment that pays based on the assumption of tips, and you don’t tip, you’re just joining in the exploitation.

That’s kinda just an extension of the reference thing
- Comment on Two weeks notice 4 weeks ago:
Two weeks notice is a courtesy to keep things civil so you can use them as a reference. It’s not a legal requirement, the only consequence for not giving notice is that you won’t get a good reference, but if you don’t care about that then be free.
