my grandmother just died, we spent more money than we have trying to take care of her too and for a number of years the only way my family has survived is pooling our resources.

please help.

if you can donate it would be much appreciated, if not if you can share this maybe someone else might.

When the AI bubble bursts, it's going to be a threat to the entire economy that results in a massive bailout, because they're deliberately making OpenAI "too big to fail." It's tentacles are spreading everywhere, risking financial contagion in every part of society and the global economy.

A tangled web of deals stokes AI bubble fears in Silicon Valley

Some are worried that the rapid rise in the value of AI tech companies may be a bubble waiting to burst.

Dems were literally doing Trump''s dirty work for him right before the election! Harris was running on being tough on immigrants! This is what you voted for!

Pushed by public opinion shift, Democrats adopt immigration restrictions

President Biden has issued a number of immigration-related executive actions that mimic those of the Trump administration, and VP Harris has promised she'll continue restrictive policies.

Hey, you idiotic propagandists at the New York Post:

God Bless America isn't the national anthem. It's a SHOW TUNE written by Irving Berlin.

it's wild how the USA is the richest or one of the richest nations but how much many if not most of it's citizens live in poverty.

i mean i get how we got here, but i'd understand if people in other countries didn't understand how much the average American struggles financially.

Oh I recently noticed this page on @procreate.com that made me so, so happy. I've used Procreate for all my digital art for many years and seeing them showing such a strong position against gen A/I is such a breath of fresh air. Please keep it up ❤️

Screenshot from https://procreate.com/ai.
It reads:

AI is not our future

Where we stand
No generative AI
We deeply respect your hard-earned skills.

Your work belongs to you
We do not have access to your art, by design.

We take pride in privacy
Your activity is not tracked in our apps.

Second part of the screenshot that reads:
Creativity is made, not generated.
Generative AI is ripping the humanity out of things. Built on a foundation of theft, the technology is steering us toward a barren future. We think machine learning is a compelling technology with a lot of merit, but the path generative AI is on is wrong for us.

We're here for the humans. We're not chasing a technology that is a moral threat to our greatest jewel: human creativity. In this technological rush, this might make us an exception or seem at risk of being left behind. But we see this road less travelled as the more exciting and fruitful one for our community.
