Obviously, I'm super glad I left my long term corp job now that they're so ai centric, but it's been sad to leave my long term dr and therapist as a result. Also, idk why I always make big changes every 10 years exactly, bc then I have to deal with that on top of a birthday milestone.

1/3 Massive efforts are being done to ensure states do not regulate GenAI.
Regulations like CA’s AB-412. A transparency bill that terrifies Big Tech!
On Dec. 8th, there is a major hearing on this bill.

A male rock ptarmigan (Lagopus muta) in winter plumage.
Ptarmigan is from Gaelic 'tarmachan' meaning "croaker". The p- was added when people mistakenly assumed it was a Greek word.
A bird forever warning people: "A werewolf!" (just in case of werewolves).

Open AI doesn't want to be transparent about what's in their datasets - this bill would force them. If you're pro AI regulation (esp if you're in Bay Area), please show up and offer your support for this bill! If you can't make it, help spread the word!

Spotify is garbage on every count: Its treatment of artists, its ICE advertising, the CEO's investment in military AI, its leading role in the commodification and AI slopification of music, its terrible audio quality—you name it.

I've made so many swaps for ethical reasons with no issue (email, podcasts, banks, shopping etc) but finding a music player I like has been the biggest struggle. I'm trying qobuz now though, and it seems pretty good so far!

This is DEFCON 1 priority, y'all. Call your senators, reps, call your friends and tell them to call their senators and reps about this. Call your grandma and tell her to call her senators and reps about this.
