Every day it seems like another person I know casually admits to using ChatGPT for something and I feel like I’m losing my grip. Was it really that hard to Google things?

I'm glad that America is doing real classic end of empire stuff. A king who is visibly losing his mind declaring a war based on a dream he had. Greedy courtiers feuding over access to the treasury. Some looks are timeless.

The lowest hanging Jewish fruit, but I'm glad the community is showing up on this.

I hope the community actually hides people at risk-- reviving the sanctuary networks we had built last time around.

I hope the community stands in solidarity with trans people and everyone else targeted today.
We are proud to have helped bring together over 85 Jewish organizations — representing millions of diverse American Jews across the country — to oppose the Administration’s plans to launch mass deportations, build massive detention camps, and conduct sweeping raids.

Generative AI is essentially copy paste but with large datasets analyzed probabilistically. Maybe that's useful but it's not intelligence and doesn't justify the absurd amounts of investment it's attracted

The book is awesome. When it comes to reading the original source of an adaptation, remember to read a summary first, idk what else to tell you
Still haven’t seen Wicked, but it does warm my heart to know that there is now an entire other generation that is going to attempt to read, and inevitably decide not to finish, the book it’s based on

Same. I hate hardcovers, they’re so unwieldy
I have a ✨brave✨ confession.
I prefer paperback books 🫣

You won’t catch me fighting for those limited edition hardbacks 😂

Pretending to ratify the ERA on the last day of the job but not allowing enough time to get it signed, sealed and delivered really takes the definition of virtue signaling to a whole 'nother level.

I should’ve prepared for this inevitability, but I have no idea how to politely tell someone “hey it’s pretty obvious chatgpt wrote this”

All those f*ckers in SF/fantasy who made excuses for Neil Gaiman on the last round of allegations really are the worst. You were so invested in the whole "he was nice to me" bullshit or invested in how *invested* you'd been in him to care about the truly disgusting behavior on display.

There isn't a proper "Hell" in Judaism, which I think is an extremely positive feature of the religion. But also, man do I spend a lot of time these days thinking "I wish hell existed"
