The utter incompetence of ChatGPT is genuinely baffling to me because I’ve seen people ask it basic mathematical equations and it’ll pull numbers right out of its robotic ass. We’re destroying the planet for tech that can’t even do what regular computers have been able to do for decades 💀

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.
Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.
The people who need help are not the problem.
It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

The dooming on this site is getting out of control. Every time you post anything about politics some rando condescendingly wonders how you can't possibly know that elections are over and all hope is lost. If you've completely lost hope, I'm sorry, but shut the fuck up, OK? You're not helping.

Shit that makes me feel the most crazy is people calling AI a “research tool”. That would imply that it somehow makes research easier, but now every time I search for actual information, Google has to jump in like “Wait! Wouldn’t you like to hear from a robot that lies to you all the time first?!”

I hope it's clear to everyone now that Trump really is going for it - he's trying to become a dictator. I don't know if he'll succeed, but he's working to install himself as an autocrat unaccountable to voters. And he's weaponizing the military against Americans who oppose him as part of that effort

If Covid were really over, or “no big deal”, masks wouldn’t anger people.
No one cared when you wore a mask before the pandemic.
People are irrationally angry at those of us still masking, because it reminds them of their failure to adapt. Of the risk they’re taking.
They can’t cope with it.

We have a bit of a natural experiment here. Compare the tone, quantity and duration of Charlie Kirk coverage with that of the two Dem lawmakers gunned down in their homes in Minnesota 6 months ago. May be revealing.

When someone started tampering with Tylenol bottles in 1982 the company recalled $100 million worth of bottles immediately even though they clearly weren't at fault
an appropriate response to your product killing a child after months of psychological manipulation and torture is to take the product off the market before it kills again and the fact that this isn’t universally accepted right now is incredibly frightening
