AI 👏🏻 IS 👏🏻 JUST 👏🏻 A 👏🏻 MARKETING 👏🏻 TERM
remember that:
- there is nothing "intelligent" about it
- it comes at the cost of people's livelihoods and damages vulnerable communities
- genAI hurts the environment
the easiest way to help stop it is to simply not use it 🫡

There used to be a time I took semi nudes and had several people to send to. Now it's just one person who routinely sees me naked anyway.

Our anger for LLMs using em dash is displaced. The real culprits are the ones whose data trained chatgpt to do this.

Honestly, with hindsight, Radcliffe, Watson and Grint's public statements where they sided with trans people, expressed their support with no caveats, and willingly blew up any chances at future ties to the franchise has only gotten more and more noteworthy as more actors are revealed to be cowards

My theory is that if we taxed most of these people without telling them and the people they pay to manage their money didn't tell them, they'd never notice.
And if you'd never notice you should be taxed even more.

MA put in a 4% millionaires tax 2 years ago, & the GOP said we'd miss revenue targets & millionaires would flee. MA collected TWICE the projected revenues, & the number of millionaires went UP 40%.

This is the 4th largest economy in the world as the ruling party would tell anyone who cares to hear.
Bombay is the financial capital of the country. Home to the country's richest.
But for most people, basic commute is either unaffordable or dangerous.
I am full of shame for where we are.

google is cooked. search for “hayley williams” and it doesn’t show her website as a result on the first page. append “website” to the query and it still doesn’t show up 🫠

Coming as I do from a BBC comedy background, I have a shitload of suggestions for how to make great television programmes more cheaply (such as not budgeting them at $10m+ per episode) none of which anyone is interested in.
They don’t want cheaper TV. They want cheaper people.
