This is a really sick story.

From everything I know, Boston’s Logan Airport is a legitimately dangerous place to travel through.

I don’t think you’ll get a more “on the nose” example of blowback than a guy from Afghanistan who America trained to go around executing civilians in something called a “zero squad” who later moves to America and attacks the American government. Like holy shit what the fuck are we doing here?

Every prompt to chatbot software is “generate me some text.” If it generated you some text, it performed its function correctly. It never lies, it never wants anything, it’s text generating software that generates text.
Not wanting to disappoint you so much that it lies is the last quality I want in a computer.

Students at the start of my intensive class: Human Rights are universal and everyone has them! <3

Students at the end of my intensive class: The world is a hellhole and human rights exist only for the few and we must do something radically different before it's too late

So, that's my job done.

Amazon workers in over 30 countries are striking this 'Black Friday' weekend, demanding fair wages, union rights, and environmental accountability. The "Make Amazon Pay" campaign marks its sixth year of turning the retail giant's busiest sales period into a global day of protest.
Instead of Black Friday, unions call for Make Amazon Pay Day

"The public deserves ... government officials [that] are not using taxpayer dollars to enrich themselves and their friends."
“This is what corruption looks like,” Rep. Jasmine Crockett said about a firm with ties to Kristi Noem secretly working on a DHS ad campaign. “They’re stealing money from the American people’s pockets and depositing it into their bank accounts.”
Lawmakers Call for Probe of How Firm Tied to Kristi Noem Got Piece of $220 Million DHS Ad Contracts
The demands for an investigation come after a ProPublica story revealed that the Noem-connected Strategy Group was secretly a subcontractor on the ad campaign.
