  • the search model is helpful to is all

    You answered your own question. The search engine indexes your page to send traffic to you. The AI bot indexes your page to plagiarize your content.

    Anecdotally, AI also routinely ignores sites’ robots.txt and spoof their agents to try to hide what they’re doing. A lot of site owners are complaining about the costs of delivering content to web scrapers. Where search indexes might hit a site every day, some AI bots are running every hour and just wasting their bandwidth.

    Former tipped employee here. This is probably correct, but I don’t care. The majority is often wrong. They can be educated. Change is scary, and the people who benefit from the status quo demonize changes that will give them less power.

    I would probably have made less money if paid a salary, but it would be worth it to not have to balance priorities between getting a good tip and following restaurant policies.

    If the large majority doesn’t tip, wait staff will become homeless. That’s the only “message” you’re sending. Restaurant owners won’t care in the slightest.

    Don’t patronize organizations that don’t pay their employees. This is the message, you’re claiming you want to send. You have to take money away from the people who set the policy, not the worker who has to live under the policy. Find restaurants that refuse tips and spend your money there. (Or just don’t go out.)

    Until we end tipping, tip your servers.




  • It seems terribly dismissive to frame these as a result of right wing (or other) agitation. There are significant differences between people who want to throw trans people under the bus and those who don’t, etc.

    Sure, it must be nice for the right to be able to rally around whatever false talking points they gin up for the day. But when you have people who care about the truth, they will disagree sometimes.

    Everyone uses this cliche. Nobody seems to understand it.

    a bad or reckless manager can put the company at significant risk

    Yes. In this circumstance, the manager opened the company up to a lawsuit with his comments. It would have protected the company to punish him or have him take some sort of class.

    You can just say that HR is usually bad at their jobs. “Protecting the company not the employee” is completely meaningless here.
