It's depressing how generic American subway cars look when you look at the rest of the world where SOME attention is given to the design of the trains.

USE. YOUR. BENEFITS.
Book a massage every day. Go to the dentist. Get your glasses. Talk to a therapist god knows you need to.
If you don’t use your benefits the capitalists are stealing from you.

The corporate brainrot around generative AI has gotten out of hand long ago.
I was actually trying to read the article, but had to scroll past & work to avoid any stray clicks landing on this:
I'm trying to read the damn article, which presumably has answers to those questions, which I can find by ... reading the article.

Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait.
My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.

There is a post circulating on Bluesky encouraging the moving of a frozen turkey straight into a pot of hot oil. We are combating this misinformation the best way we know how - through the power of dance music.

In the midst of all this AI discourse, we need people to learn the difference with LLMs (basically generative AI as we know it now) and the rest of ML (machine learning, which includes stuff that's actually useful and much more harmless).
