This is true and it's actually really alarming

if you are a human being who can follow written directions with more than two steps, you are a rarity and you're probably going to end up in charge wherever you go, whether you want to or not.

Two college professors I follow have stated that every new class gets exponentially worse at following written instructions. Up until now I believe this is due to a built up resistance to online ads & marketing.

There's a real "never interrupt your opponent when he is making a mistake" attitude among Opposition politicians these days, but they have forgotten (or don't care about) the fact that, if power shifts to their "side," the damage caused by those mistakes are going to be THEIRS to try and fix.

Women on the Internet don’t need me to tell them how bad things are, but men need to see this and know it’s out there.
Incredibly weird behavior from a man who has previously sexually harassed me. AI makes it even easier to spread low-effort misogyny, so I'm not surprised the online right is using it so much that it's melting their brains.
Exhausting, but expected.
