I went to see Devil Wears Prada 2, which was the exhausting, overwrought mess you’d expect. But the most striking thing was the huge amount of anti-AI, anti-tech messaging in the ads and in the movie itself.

There was a Pinterest ad talking about what people did before social media, the Toy Story 5 preview talking about how alienating these tech devices are for children, and throughout the main feature a clear disgust for AI content and lack of human creativity.

The tides are clearly turning.

I don’t wanna yuck anyone’s yum, but I went to see the Mandalorian movie and the CG was so unbelievably bad. It looked like Starfox64, the original version. Worse than Episodes 1-3. I don’t understand how ILM could release it in seriousness.

Well I didn’t think I’d be rolling into the weekend learning that MIA is the latest milkshake duck but here we are.

I spent years pushing for the creation of this team and designed the roles. I won't pretend like I'm not heartbroken that I've been denied the chance to lead it, but this is still an incredible opportunity to develop an incredible new team. The SEC does not allow remote work, but that pay scale is INCREDIBLE for a government job.

The SEC is hiring! The AWS platform team is hiring cloud engineers, and our brand new digital service team is just getting started! These roles would be ideal for former/current Digital Service Experts! $141,105 to $280,610, but NOT remote/telework.
