A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.

Claude can spit out powershell scripts up to like, 400 or 500 lines without errors or with minimal, easily debugged errors. Adds things like error correction, colored text, user interaction, comments the code pretty well. Saves me hours every time I fire it up, so that I can in turn save myself dozens of hours with the scripts themselves.
But as far as I tell my boss, there is no AI use, and that's how we're keeping that for now/indefinitely
So you’re sharing your data with third parties and relinquishing code copyright without telling your boss?
you see, for programming, AI achieved what SQL tried to do with database queries: programming by just telling the computer what you want and the computer figures out the how.
the catch is that human language is imprecise, so if you don't know how to review what the AI produced, the AI might have written a script to wipe your data in the computer and you don't even know until you run it and it is too late
The other day it spit out a five line piece of code, except, critically, it had used "archived" where it should have used "received". Small word difference, huge functionality difference.
It absolutely does help, but we're gonna have a couple whole new classes of copy/paste errors.
Makes me wonder what an LLM trained in lojban would accomplish.
That's pretty great, what kind of things do you use the PowerShell scripts for?
