I made a big change to my interview process, which was using my TTRPG books as portfolio materials. Don't know if it worked, but it felt really good.

If you use Generative AI, I don’t want your opinion on anything. It means less than nothing to me. Your taste is rancid with the corruption of billionaires and empty of thought and interest. You are alike in critical thought to a rock on a lake shore.

Panera’s moderately caffeinated lemonade was loosely associated with 2 deaths before it was taken off market.
This article alone has 4 examples of ChatGPT encouraging young people to commit suicide, and OpenAI’s own public stats estimate over a million users discuss suicide with ChatGPT each week.

The whole shutdown fight is artificially caused because the Republicans didn't negotiate with the Dems *before* a shutdown.
