I'm begging you all in the media. Please read the emails for more than 2 seconds. They don't just say Trump "knew" about underage girls. THE EMAILS SAY HE PERSONALLY PARTICIPATED.

Funny how we all just “have to” accept AI as progress even if it’s janky and either has demonstrated no improvements to productivity or outright tanks it, but we never had to accept remote work despite every study showing it improves productivity AND workers lives.

At risk of flogging a dead horse: this whole letter is a reminder that the creative process is an end in and of itself, and vital to self-actualisation. You can’t experience BECOMING, as he puts it, by outsourcing it to ChatGPT.
In 2006 a high school English teacher asked students to write to a famous author & ask for advice.
KURT VONNEGUT - born 103yrs ago today - was the only one to respond.
His reply was a doozy.

Nuremburg trials is the moderate position
He said that the agents would throw food at them to eat. The agents threatened to withhold food for a week and to beat him up if he didn't sign deportation papers. He said he saw others refuse and get beaten/receive no food. He signed because he was afraid.

Switch to Tidal. Do the trial. Its SOOOOO much better for music. Has all the playlist imports and settings you could want as well.
Spotify is crashing HARD because of the boycott. Their stock dropped 11% in value over the last month. Let’s keep this going!
Tell everyone you know to boycott Spotify. There are plenty of alternatives that don’t run ICE advertisements and screw over artists.
We made it easy at boycottspotify.com.

Panera’s moderately caffeinated lemonade was loosely associated with 2 deaths before it was taken off market.
This article alone has 4 examples of ChatGPT encouraging young people to commit suicide, and OpenAI’s own public stats estimate over a million users discuss suicide with ChatGPT each week.

I fully believe in the corporate death penalty and believe we would be a better world if OpenAI lost its corporate charter and was forcibly dissolved.

Hey for no reason whatsoever 👀... I need monsters! Monsters you say "hear me out" to or would maybe take home to meet your mother, or ghost and never call back.

Also they thwart my quest for zero inbox which is unforgivable.

Devastated to see Mamdani plummet to victory with a result that shows his critics were right all along. Now is the time for the left to move towards the centre. It's time to reach across the aisle, to swing your partner, do-si-do and really lay into trans people for no reason.

Haven't quite vibed with a lot of Florence + the Machine's stuff lately but can wholeheartedly recommend her new album Everybody Scream. Written pretty exclusively to it since it released. "You Can Have It All" in particular is haunting.
