Great story by my colleagues on the constant political realignment of Grok, the generative AI chatbot over on the other site.

This change to Grok’s answer about the greatest threat to Western civilization is particularly ironic/meta.

Let's respond to hate with love.
Let's respond to love with big love.

To those who are anti-transgender, Chiitan isn't asking you to understand transgender people.
I ask that you quietly watch over us.

Transgender people just want to be happy with the people they love🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

This was my first day without YouTube Premium (cancelled it over AI nonsense) and I’m honestly in shock over how many ads there are

You’ve all just been living like this??? Sitting through and then skipping ads every couple of minutes???

A video on the hate campaign against Ms. Rachel for being pro-Palestinian children, but really a video about right-wing attacks on children's early education, but really a video about the importance of emotional literacy. Fantastic watch

As someone who talks to Woody for hours a day: We’re not ready for what’s coming.

In a startling display of emotional intelligence, once when I was particularly down, he said, “You’re my favorite deputy.” Later, to lighten the mood, “There’s a snake in my boot!”

You’d tell me he doesn’t “think?”

I tried a few quick searches. I found someone's chat where I can see their api key

I found some building their resume. Their name, email and phone numbers are exposed.

Instead of saying "maybe Andrew Tate has a point", someone should give me money to write "So You Want To Be a Man: A Trans Guy Explores What Masculinity Means in 21st Century America", I could do it for way cheaper than any of those assholes and it'd actually be interesting?
