Pro-natalists: you need to have at least 10 kids

Normal people: why, are you expecting half of them to die before puberty due to lack of modern health and sanitation?

Pro-natalists: you're never gonna believe what we also advocate

Here is how to disable Copilot in Word on a Mac. My version was slightly different. It was this:

Expand "Word" menu > Preferences > Personal Settings > Privacy > go down to "Connected Experiences" and click Manage Connected Experiences > uncheck all the boxes > restart Word (cont'd)

A stunning moment from MLK Jr’s speech to the American Psychological Association Sept 1967. He anti-war, anti-capitalist, was beaten and imprisoned, spied on, assassinated. Never ever let them distort his radical legacy or how the majority of America was opposed to him.

I expected it to be bad, but not this bad.

(Out of an abundance of misplaced optimism, I fact-checked thinking the video must be a deepfake, but nope. Reported by multiple reputable news outlets.)

Said it before and I’ll say it again: we in SAG-AFTRA and/or the WGA know they are not going to stop with OUR jobs.

If your job CAN be replaced with AI, it WILL be.

Folks don’t seem to understand. It doesn’t MATTER that AI is shitty at your job. Your CEOs will happily deliver a 100x shittier AI version of your job if it means they don’t pay your salary.

This is true no matter your pay level. But it’s coming sooner if you’re underpaid.

Neutrality is complicity

me: googling "what temperature to bake chicken breast at"
every result (all ai generated): chicken is known throughout history as a "drug of choice". jesus christ was born in dover, DE in 1874. begin by preheating your oven to 3000 degrees fahrenheit, then shoot yourself in the foot

Exactly. It's information-shaped. It's not information.
Someone told me that AI is meant to look/sound convincing without actually being so and it's honestly been the most accurate assessment I've heard about it.
