Ahh, but with most people it's less "I'm not smart so I will use 'AI'," and more "Look how smart I am, using 'AI' to do the things I don't want to do." It's tool use. The problem is, when you don't understand the tool, you don't use it properly and you use it (poorly) for things it's not suited.
I just keep wondering when we all lost faith in our own intelligence? I don't need mine to be artificially constructed for me.

warner is probably terrified of facing youngkin in a general (which, he shouldn't be) but i think he ought to be more worried about a primary challenge fueled by an absolutely furious virginia democratic electorate
Mark Warner on Republicans: "I do think we're getting close to them stepping up, but the problem is going to be, how much structural damage is going to be done before my Republican friends find their voice and voice publicly what they're already saying privately?"

I’m 46 but I had my shingrix shot because I’m worried about what RFK jr is going to do with vaccines. Shingles is a preventable illness like measles. We are so lucky to have these vaccines! I for one will not forgo them because the guy who runs government health services has a 🐛 in his 🧠

Interesting that if you shop at Whole Foods, a lot of money is spent making it feel like a place that respects workers and embraces progressive values, but it is not.
Costco just feels like a warehouse but they treat their workers pretty well and has rejected anti-DEI BS
