If a phone still works fine, it’s not “device hoarding” to keep using it. It’s common sense.

This is such a good point. There is no good reason to use chatgpt for recipes, and yet tech cos are basically forcing it on people in order (it seems) swallow food blogging along with news and everything else
This is so funny because recipes can literally already be copied and reposted with no attribution or copyright. All AI does here is add statistical noise and make the stolen content useless. AI can’t even steal content without fucking it up.
NEW: AI “recipe slop” is overrunning search and social. Food creators say Google’s AI Overviews and glossy fake food pics are drowning out real, tested recipes — collapsing traffic and setting home cooks up for disaster, especially this Thanksgiving.

Who knew that you couldn’t buy 3 liter bottles of alcohol in the US until recently. And just why do you need a 3 liter bottle of Jack?

There are 37 donors funding the $300 million build of the new White House ballroom.
Unsurprisingly, Amazon is on that list. But you know who isn’t? Independent bookstores.
And this is why it will *always* be bookstores over billionaires. ✊

Please be conscious if you protest this weekend that there are feds at the protest. They look like you and they sound like you, not like Steve Buscemi in that one clip with the skateboard. Thinking you can spot them is self delusion. Nobody you haven’t met needs to know your last name.

I really need to quit Starbucks. They closed all those stores just days before Dreamforce, so the one surviving store in the area is a zoo. I feel sorry for the people trying to keep things together there. I guess there is a Tarbucks, but that is not the same.
