During a presentation about AI at my job, there was a poll that asked "how do you use AI in your daily life?" and the highest ranked answer was "I don't" at about 85%. They quickly moved to the next slide.

an email with the header "Opt out" from me to expertoptout@superhuman.com. 

Body text: Hi there. No idea if I am one of your experts, but I’d rather not be. You see, I do actually edit people and I don’t need your hallucination machine ruining my bad reputation.

Thanks

These are the 4 things AI can do well:

β€’Clean up your email inbox (badly)
β€’Give my shittiest neighbor (Alan) something to talk about at a party
β€’Tell a 12 yr old to kill himself
β€’Incinerate a school at 10:16 AM on a Tuesday

You can see why we need to base our economy around it

Saw someone describing β€œThe White Lotus genre” as β€œthings that attack the 1%, marketed to the 5%” and boy does that sum up way too much progressive economic policy and messaging output the past several years tbqh

Q. In the top of our story, we talk about the rally you attended in Managua and a wire report at the time said that there were anti-American chants from the crowd.
The United States at that time - I don't know how much you know about this β€” was actively supporting the Contras to overthrow the government. So that there's anti-American sentiment? I remember that, I remember that event very clearly.
You do recall hearing those chants? I think the wire report has them saying, "Here, there, everywhere, the Yankee will die." hey were fighting against American -- Huh huh--yes, what is your point?
I wanted to β€”β€”
Are you shocked to learn that there was anti-American sentiment?
My point was I wanted to know if you had heard that.
I don't remember, no. Of course there was anti-American sentiment there. This was a war being funded by the United States against the people of Nicaragua. People were being killed in that war.
Do you think if you had heard that directly, you would have stayed at the rally?
I think Sydney, with all due respect, you don't understand a word that I'm saying.

the fact that this happens from time to time is why oligarchs are much more invested in destroying newsmedia, or convincing you NO media has any credibility, than in building trusted conservative newsmedia

this is what you get when everyone in office is 70+, they think you're spending too much on avocado toast bc their memory of a home cooked meal is locked way back in the 50's

The second you leave this country for even a few days, you realize the place you call home is decaying at an almost exponential pace. The realization that you don't have to live like this is stark, and that nobody in power is taking tangible actions to fix it in your lifetime is even starker.

Repeatedly watching how she pulls the mic away when he speaks on private equity & I can't stop thinking about the way that our employment system forces people into craven cowards that have to do real-time self-preservation calculus that results in actions that conflict entirely with class solidarity

It is going to happen this year. You know what I mean. God’s will.  Naturally of course. No need to come knocking on my door. I’m chilling at home and I’ll be chilling at home when it happens. Before I go running out into the streets that is. Shaking the mailman’s hand. Kissing nurses and shit. All of a sudden there’s a drumline and a mariachi band and breakdancers and fuckin… David Guetta is DJing on a rooftop if David Guetta is still alive. Maybe we’ll even get to watch it live on TV. The first flicker that something is really wrong. Slowing it down and rewinding it after like when Lisa broke Ralph’s heart. The realization in his eyes. The first single moment of self awareness in 80 years. Like a flailing panicked deer you’ve crashed your car into on the side of a snowy mountain pass. The eyes fluttering back and forth. Surely this can’t have been it. Perhaps a brief bargaining with God. God saying he’s going to pass on the deal. I do not agree with your terms sir. It’s gonna be like the Will Smith Summertime video out there. Everywhere. We’re all going to get fired from our jobs for posting. 100% unemployment. One good day.

I'm constantly trying (/failing) to get this point across.

If you're a trained expert in a field, then it may be worthwhile to question the scientific consensus of your peers.

If you're not, the scientific consensus is absolutely the best you can do and it's arbitrary foolishness to disregard it.

listen, I'm not foolish enough to assume that NHL guys might have good politics, but the way that jack hughes has dropped in my estimation in the past 48 hours... pheewwww!!
