What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.”
What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.”
Funny how that works.

If you follow me here and I don’t follow you back please let me know how/where I know you from IRL, and my apologies for not being able to figure that out myself. If we don’t know each other in real life, I don’t know why you’re following me.

Open AI doesn't want to be transparent about what's in their datasets - this bill would force them. If you're pro AI regulation (esp if you're in Bay Area), please show up and offer your support for this bill! If you can't make it, help spread the word!

Did you know we can get suspended for saying "I wish ill on JK Rowling"? It's one of the many things we are not allowed to say here.
It was okay for me to say it then because I'm just telling you we can't say "I wish JK Rowling was gone".
I'm not actually saying it, just letting you know we can't.
