Difficult to emphasize just how much a generation of kids has been taught that being dishonest, superficial, and narcissistic is the pathway to attention and therefore success
Must read: xAI is poisoning Mississippi, captured via thermal imaging.
This didn't happen. The perception that it did is largely based on fictional shows that were about rich people. Much more common was a household where one person (theoretically Dad in a het household) was the higher earner and paid the housing costs and the other paid utilities & food

the more AI slop i see, the more motivated i get to make art
I need every single male artist that follows me to read this. It's not very long. You need to bear witness to this shit. You have to see it with your own eyes because you never will in your everyday life.
I'm serious, read it all please
I realize I'm biased since these programs are literally built on the theft of my life's work, but I think we should sue not only the tech companies that are making LLMs but also the rich-ass fancy universities that are charging money to teach their students to use them.
We don’t talk enough about how morally depraved the tech industry turned out to be. Every single ounce of their self-regarding statements of values was an outright lie.
If other people's children are fair targets in war, then so are yours.
Many area residents in Southaven, Mississippi, and nearby Memphis, Tennessee, oppose xAI’s growing presence in their backyards, fearing what Elon Musk’s data centers’ operations could mean for their health and the surrounding environment.

Phones stopped having headphone jacks. So now we have to hear every TikTok, song, and call from everyone in public.
i don't know how to teach people to be more curious but i think that's what we desperately need
@jesswash.bsky.social lays out the stakes in this piece: denying some children access to public schools isn't just cruel to those children and harmful to communities, it is destructive of the mission of public education and another sledgehammer the right wants to take to it more broadly.

Federal privacy regulation would have been nice

Oh no I 100% got got by this! I try to be more careful about only sharing pictures directly from photographers or people who clearly credit images and got sloppy. A good reminder to share with more care and intentionality.
A resident was forced to abandon the home that's been in her family for generations after xAI parked gas turbines across the street. "I do feel like xAI is playing by a different set of rules."
