I just woke up from a dream I was a lawyer practicing dog law. To be clear this was not human laws about dogs, but laws made by dogs. My client was dachshund who's dog bed had been moved by husky.

As we head rapidly to extinction we are still grappling with the great moral debates that have engrossed humanity for millennia. Questions such as , Is genocide good or bad?, Is famine essential?, Do we need more torture?, Can poor people feel pain? Our best minds grappled well but got no medal.

I hate to be a doomer but the pandemic broke me in this regard I think. After watching like a third of the country proudly say they wouldn't inconvenience themselves even if it cost other people their lives, where do you go from there

It’s so cool that cities are like “pweeease only turn your AC on if you’re actively dying and don’t go below 79 🥺🤘🏻💗” while the AI nobody asked for is slurping up the power grid to make 1 image of a girl with 5 tits

New research from MIT found that those who used ChatGPT can’t remember any of the content of their essays.

Key takeaway: the product doesn’t suffer, but the process does. And when it comes to essays, the process *is* how they learn.
