One of the many reasons AI can't produce good writing is it can't hate its own writing. It can't think to itself "Maybe I'm illiterate" during the writing process. And that's essential

How long before Sam Altman puts bleach in the baby formula
Oh my god, you could, I dunno, ASK OTHER PARENTS?!
I fear for humanity. Truly, I do. Like the Google Pixel advert where she’s asking her phone what flowers to get instead of THE FUCKING FLOWER SHOP OWNER.

If an ad server ever sees me click on an ad I want them to know that impression is 100% because I’m a clumsy person who almost dropped my phone and had to catch it mid air for the third time today

I don’t really understand how people don’t grasp that capitalist competition leads to monopoly. Something wins a competition. It is a pretty obvious thing.

Engagement KPIs have been responsible for infinite scroll UI traps, RecSys radicalization spirals, public shame brigades, and basically every modern ailment novel to the past decade. At some point, you have to recognize that the problem isn't any one technology, it's the metric.
The company essentially turned a dial that made ChatGPT more appealing and made people use it more, but sent some of them into delusional spirals.
OpenAI has since made the chatbot safer, but that comes with a tradeoff: less usage.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

My “my 17 references to George Soros aren’t political” footnote is raising a lot of questions answered by my footnote.
But worry not, he has a footnote explaining why his fixation on Soros "is not political."

GitHub is down but Teams is still working? Why do bad things happen to good people????
First they came for AWS
And I did not speak out
Because Canvas was down and that was fine by me.
Then they came for Cloudflare
And I did not speak out
Because I didn't need the textbook website.
Then they came for GitHub
And there were no more internet services
For me to use to get work done.
