Like...literally start a playgroup, spend that money on expanding after school programs, park district programs...literally anything at all that involves people interacting with people. The kids don't have good social skills because the adults gutted society.

Because if I wanted someone to confidently make up answers to my questions I would simply ask a man
Bit of an odd story this one - the main analysis says women don't use AI because they lack STEM skills, confidence and value in the workplace. Yet the anecdotes suggest that women excel at communication, whether writing or interpersonal, and can spot ChatGPT's flaws

Why are fewer women using AI than men?
The use of artificial intelligence appears to have a significant gender imbalance.

They knew this man wasn’t a gang member. Never has it been clearer that they don’t care; his crime has always been not being white. I wish people would stop thinking about this as a “mistake” or gotcha of a “sloppy” system & instead understand this for what it is: a prison camp for unwanted races.

The Democrats committed genocide. Now the Republicans are committing genocide. There you have it. Neither party is acceptable. Case closed. End of debate.

I always find it funny when people say "Where is the Palestinian Mandela?", because Mandela literally founded the armed wing of the African National Congress, which engaged in militant struggle against the apartheid regime. The US classified Mandela as a "terrorist" until 2008.

AI does not democratise assets. It steals them for the profit of corporations.
This has never been about individual liberty. It is another transfer of money and power.
Every single time you use AI to look something up, correct something, it is a surrender.
Turn it off, let it die.

Please stop using ChatGPT in general, but also, please, please stop using it and then taking what it says to you as fact. It's usually wrong! It doesn't fact check itself. It just creates approximations of information based on other text! It's basically magnetic poetry that sets the world ablaze.

One thing I don’t see mentioned in this signed scandal is that the US is bombing the Houthis for supporting Palestine. Why aren’t we more angry about that?

All Israel knows is murder. All Israel knows is genocide. All Israel knows is blood. There hasn’t been a day in its shameful existence where it didn’t snuff out life, didn’t oppress people, didn’t make life a living hell. Israel is a stain on humanity

Elon says empathy is a weakness and is destroying civilization but demands he be treated with empathy.
So which is it bro?

"Musk's claim ("the left is supposed to be the party of empathy") perfectly distills the asymmetry in our politics. The left is “supposed to be” empathetic, so that’s the standard it must live up to. The right isn't, so when its leader incites a riot, that’s fine since it meets our expectations."
Woe is M-Elon
The world's richest man is embarking on a public victimhood tour.

Imagine what the news coverage would be like if Hamas had just killed 700+ Israelis.
But it’s Palestinians being murdered, so it’s a foot note.
Hundreds of children brutally killed with US-supplied weapons, but life goes on like nothing is happening.
