the AI ads for Lidl and Aldi here in Germany are SO BAD because the WHOLE THING is AI generated and the translation from English to German is SO fcking bad, it's barely recognizable. today, i got a beer commercial that just said "bitte - bitte - bitte" (please) over and over. fckin creepy.

Without ACA tax credits, a 64-year-old couple making $90K would face an extra $26,000 a year in premiums.

Democrats are working to protect families—Republicans are ready to let these credits expire.

Immediate thoughts after viewing a commercial using AI generated "customers" to laud some product:

- how bad is the company that they have to create fake fans?
- actors are missing out on jobs
- I hated the tsunami of ads anyway, now it's worse
AND
- I'll NEVER buy/use this company's products

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

the list of things that needs to be done to repair this country is extensive but high up on it is breaking the power of the tech lords

they are convinced they are untouchable feudal barons whose money allows them to dictate everyone else's life and they must be disabused of that notion

Most people know about the slavery going in in Saudi Arabia but there's also a serious crackdown against women in general and women's right activists are often detained. Even after the ban on driving was lifted in 2018 many were still being detained

I went through my eligible works in the class action lawsuit. I've published 50+ novels. 29 of them are eligible.

ALL publishers I've worked with have failed to register copyrights on various titles. I don't even know where to begin with this.

Check in with your publishers, folks.

Fuck yeah you should.

Using a swearword in your Google search can stop the AI answer. But should you?

Artificial intelligence is more than Trump deepfakes of Tilly the actor. It’s used in smartphones, customer service, healthcare – even legal cases. Is it possible to avoid?

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.
