DOGE determined this after zero assessment of the employees. Their default assumption is that public work has mo value and public employees are worthless.
CFPB probationary employees were told in a mass email: “Unfortunately, the Agency finds that that you are not fit for continued employment because your ability, knowledge and skills do not fit the Agency's current needs.”

Google has been paying Apple $20 billion each year to make Chrome the default search engine on iPhones. What a remarkable sum. It’s equal, for instance, to the entire market value of Paramount-CBS, of News Corp., twice the market value of the New York Times.

"Government, he argues runs on a different logic. Value is “presumed,” “permanence is the default,” and “the moral burden of proofs falls on anyone who questions headcount — no matter how bloated the system becomes.”
Yes, if you are going to bigly cut govt you should understand what you are cutting.

‘Hardworking immigrant’ is dehumanising too. It implies their only value is labour and not personhood.
It actually sets immigrants up to be exploited since they constantly need to demonstrate their value rather than being granted it by default.

I know that fascist attacks on "obscenity" and "pornography" are a very dangerous threat to queer people and art, but the idea that all expressions of all kinks must be treated as default value neutral, or even good, as a result is absurd. porn is art, and so it is open to criticism.

This is a technically flawed image. The idea with globular clusters is to avoid overexposing their bright core. But I accidentally left one of the settings on the default. Anyway, this is M13, and it still has aesthetic value. #Astronomy #Astrophotography

no offense to those of us still struggling with a little brain poison but it really weirds me out when I see people discussing fiction in a way that frames any sexual content as a value negative by default that must 'earn' or otherwise justify its presence

I don't think all nsfw content is default value neutral and I wish more people thought critically about what they got off to, just as I wish more people thought critically about everything they consume, but I'm still 100% against anything approaching censorship because I have pattern recognition.

A very strong default rule prohibiting AI use, but instructors can deviate provided they do so in writing, etc. Default rules are an important signal of what we are trying to teach and what we value, and protects those who WANT to implement these policies. Course evals are still important (sadly).
In case you are an academic who is currently being gaslit into believing that you're a caveman who wants their students to be jobless if you resist allowing AI in your classrooms... I present to you Berkeley Law's response, which can be summarized as "Fuck off directly into the sun."
