All my best to this FEMA employee, and may they succeed in their mission:

I said for years that the only way to permanently reduce migration to the United States was to destroy the vision that the world had of this country as the land of opportunity. That wasn't a goddam suggestion!

The article echoes what I’ve seen and heard from peers: AI makes it easy to produce slick but shallow work that looks plausible on the surface, yet riddled with errors or bad assumptions underneath. Your coworkers end up having to fix or redo it. It’s workslop, and it’s spreading fast.

No human can love bomb like a LLM and they have plenty of examples.

Had a nightmare about being a NSO. I was "penalty backup" no clipboard, they gave me a regular pencil and the paperwork which was just counting the number of total penalties and number of total jams was in the hands of the person who was usually in the middle. Man my subconscious gets me.
