Making software and writing TTRPG stuff

Seems like a big stretch. Tech is a big part of the US economy and every country is investing in AI since it’s a new innovation and nobody wants to be left behind

Plot twist, only robots were invited.

Yeah, as a developer I don't see the point in having to write a lengthy Email to purchasing for a new keyboard. If I need it, I should just type "Hey, I need XYZ to do my job" but then they'll probably deny the claim. Having ChatGPT help out is a good use of the tool IMO.

I work in a space where I have to write one or two corporate-y sounding Emails a week for mundane crap. I used to waste a lot of time to avoid getting corrected on my lack of formality, now having ChatGPT adjust my shit before blasting off an email to stuffy corpos has been a godsend.

Sorry did he DM you his real intentions or are you just making them up?

Bill Gates blocked what? You know he's a huge proponent of public health care, right? www.gatesnotes.com/lessons-from... He also puts his money where his mouth is and is giving away a huge majority of his money to charities promoting public health.

Bill Gates is probably the worst billionaire to be upset with. He's focused so much of his life on giving back in the form of philanthropic efforts, working specifically on uplifting developing nations with healthcare and education. He's constantly vilified on the right, let's not join them.

It's important to actually read the interview and understand the context. www.harvardmagazine.com/2025/02/harv...

Because then you would know what finished looks like. You would learn to lay out, edit, publish, market. All of those skills that you will not learn until you have a thing ready for layout, editing, publication, and marketing.

Can’t we just add Jesse S to a block list if we don’t want to see his “journalism”? I don’t understand the problem.

What’s the context?

It does look cute but it reads 100% AI generated.
