This is why OpenAI is selling so aggressively to education at all levels—they want to create entire generations of users incapable of reading, writing and thinking without ChatGPT to hold their hands
And teachers and professors should call this out for what it actually is

To bear out this rosy projection, HSBC assumes that OpenAI will become "as ubiquitous [...] as Microsoft 365" (345mm users worldwide) while bringing in 10x the number of users (3bn).

Covid is gonna shape American politics for years and years because it was the first time most Americans were asked to make sacrifices and they lost their minds because of it.
That's kinda the vibe of so many folks I grew up near (South Texas) of the older generations.
They legitimately were changed by the COVID chaos. They went from being like, generous Christians to being locked inside their giant homes screeching about Fauci.

Someone said that the generational disconnect wrt finances can be boiled down to the fact that things that were once luxuries (personal tech, gym memberships, etc) are now cheaper and more accessible than ever and essentials (rent, food, medical care ) are more expensive and inaccessible than ever

they are mostly targeting black employees so this is quite literally just a repeat of woodrow wilson’s segregationist purge of the federal government
Federal health workers are expressing fear and alarm after a website called “DEI Watch List” published the photos, names and public information of a number of workers across health agencies, describing them as “targets.”

Egg prices are soaring again. Here’s why and what to expect

We had one, it was called Black Lives Matter and since then we had the most virulent counterreaction to any movement since Reconstruction
That Daniel Penny and Daniel Perry and Kyle Rittenhouse and George Zimmerman are all walking around free in the most carceral nation in the world is something that demands a reckoning.

few things will radicalize you like actually calling the cops for help solving a crime and getting a response that’s basically “lmao”
copaganda glosses over the fact that most police departments have awful clearance rates and the ones they do clear are usually shit like “we found the husband standing over his wife’s body holding a gun”
so when their investigative powers are actually in the spotlight they don’t hold up so well

One of the NYPD brass said “this isn’t blue bloods” when explaining they can’t just immediately find the guy and I like that years of copaganda have set standards cops can’t meet and might be contributing to people’s correct perception that cops don’t effectively stop crime or find killers.
