If this is what they are doing with the AI, what do you think they are doing with the much simpler and easier to control algorithm that chooses which posts you see and which of your posts are seen by others?

A magnificent piece of work. Comprehesive, revelatory & shocking. Journalism this good is always rare & precious but never moreso than at times like this. Latter day Lord Haw Haws being plumped, preened & delivered to your doorstep in plain sight by a Nazi-saluting goon

The McDonaldization of Friendship. Excellent metaphor being brought up by Lianne Potter @oredev.org about the dangers of AI "friends". It's fast, convenient, readily available and if you do it too often it will be bad for your health!

I don’t see how anyone can hide behind the ”it’s not making her more money” or ”she’s just fighting for women” anymore.
No. She is hurting people. She’s using that money to hurt people. Stop lying to yourself.
I don’t care how much I loved those books. She is just pure hatred at this point.

A portion of every dollar spent on Harry Potter merchandise goes to anti-transgender campaigns.

Last night the straps on a 26 year old guitar bag I have for my Tele broke. Luckily I caught the guitar and no harm done.
I was looking for a new one online and I have no words for the review I just read...

51 movies in my decades' old watchlist. Just watched one of them. I guess that's going to be my 2025 resolution. To bring it down to ZERO!

I'm baffled how Google Meet still doesn't show the event name from Google Calendar inside the meeting. Because who wouldn't want to play the thrilling game of 'Guess if I'm in the right meeting' while hopping between tabs?! 🙃

This: "It is bleak to even be calling Kirk’s death “political violence” at this juncture, before authorities have even found the shooter."
Might be the best point I've heard so far. Great job.

Been diving into AI-driven disinfo lately. Feels like the world splits in two: some fear the biggest threat is making people believe events that never happened; others worry more about emotional spins - like portraying leaders as superheroes. Still not sure what my own opinion is though...
