i work with a support team for a saas product, and that's how i found out that if you forget to cancel a trial, you can literally just email support and tell them that, and they'll refund you.
Will I ever do that? Absolutely not. But a less neurotic and socially anxious person should

It’s widely known (and, I think, pretty uncontroversial) that learning requires effort — specifically, if you don’t have to work at getting the knowledge, it won’t stick.
Even if an LLM could be trusted to give you correct information 100% of the time, it would be an inferior method of learning it.

Relying on ChatGPT to teach you about a topic leaves you with shallower knowledge than Googling and reading about it, according to new research that compared what more than 10,000 people knew after using one method or the other.

I also think that if you don't know a single person who is Very Excited about AI, then you have a very curared social circle - and I mean this both (laudatory) and (derogatory)
For me that's my mother's friend using ChatGPT to plan trips, and oh yeah, every single one of my 200 students

Working for a SaaS company and then logging into bsky is a surreal experience because bsky is all "no one wants AI, ever" and in the meantime like 90% of real customer feedback I read at my real job is like "where the heck is your AI? I'll cancel if you don't add it by next week"
There’s a very surreal conversation I keep having on here where people seem unable to hold two ideas at the same time, and I’m not sure why. It’s simply true that the Big AI platforms like ChatGPT are:
1. Extremely bad for society, in many ways.
2. Very genuinely popular with lots of people.

there's a tendency in parts of the left to believe that 'community' is the answer to everything but communities are often horrendous!

What if we apply this logic to any other country. Are people leaving their countries because of the political conditions there (and moving, for example, to the US of A) instead of "standing up and fighting" all untrustworthy cowards?
You are either pro-immigrant or you aren't.

I have said privately that while I don’t necessarily begrudge anybody who chooses to leave the US, but A. That is tremendously privileged and b. I do think we have to be very skeptical about giving them roles in the country once we defeat fascism simply because they didnt stand and fight
Sick story dude. I mean a Muslim democratic socialist just became mayor of NYC but I'm sure they were totally gonna make second rate Yale philosophy professors the number one target. Truly the most persecuted amongst us.
