@GossiTheDog This is the most wild manosphere-to-techbro sentence I ever heard. Idiotic to idiotic ideology.
I guess stupid ideas translate well?

@technically_good @GossiTheDog if you're not eating 5% of your body weight in peanuts every day, and aiming to weigh 200KG by 2028, you're not nutmaxxing, you're nutlosing

Via Ed Zitron's newsletter. Looks like exactly this happened at Uber.

"""
The Information’s Laura Bratton also reported last week that Uber had managed to blow through its entire AI budget for the year a few months into 2026:

Uber’s surging use of AI coding tools, particularly Anthropic’s Claude Code, has maxed out its full year AI budget just a few months into 2026, according to chief technology officer Praveen Neppalli Naga.

“I'm back to the drawing board because the budget I thought I would need is blown away already,” Neppalli Naga said in an interview.

@johnofrobotz @GossiTheDog It's one engineer. How much could it cost? $500,000?

im struggling to understand why people are not acquiring weapons and killing these pieces of shit already. it seems to me to be very obvious that of youre on the side of humanity, then a very clear message needs to be sent to the elite and the gov that the people will not tollerate being made redundant.

@GossiTheDog you just know someone's full of shit if they use the word "maxxing" with two exes.

@rusty_shackleford @GossiTheDog @faraiwe Because the masses haven’t been affected yet. There’s too much distraction even with the ongoing shit show.

@GossiTheDog "Tell me the incentives and I'll tell you the result"?

[ocelot221@mastodon.social]

@GossiTheDog Does this mean they expect engineers to pay out of their own pockets for business expenses? What insanity is this? Or this standard USA logic?

@desantis @rusty_shackleford @GossiTheDog @faraiwe This is one thing I always point out in conversations about why nothing is changing. The western world is so distracted and brainwashed, and social media keeps us fixated on the shiny things instead. How can we have proper conversations or motivate them, especially the new generations, when the average attention span is 5 seconds?
