AI (machine learning, really) has been integrated into software for years. Match Font and Generative Fill in Photoshop, or Alexa's ASR model. Even most LLM usage is invisible. There might be a backlash against specific companies, but most ML has been, and will be, accepted because it's invisible.
it's normatively bad in many ways and also clearly useful for millions of people. it can run on a laptop, thinking that it's going away is cope. gotta engage with the world at it is.
this is a bluesky bubble opinion. 800M+ people use chatgpt every week. I hate Facebook and Instagram and I wish they didn’t exist, but 3B and 2B people use them every month, respectively. it’s very hard to picture a mass or even a niche left backlash against them

All of the wording about Mike Lawler is technically accurate, but hoo-boy the design choices here are something to behold.
Definitely zoom in and read for yourself.

I think we can safely say that the Leavitt's brother called ICE on his ex, the mother of his child, and I have to say: I have no desire to respect, find common ground or share the country with these monsters.
“After Ferreira was detained, Dos Santos Rodrigues said Michael Leavitt Sr. and his father, Bob Leavitt, reached out to her.”
“‘They just kept saying, ‘Tell her to self-deport,’” she recalled. “Self-deport to where? Brazil is not her home.’” www.bostonglobe.com/2025/11/26/m...

Bruna Ferreira, 33, was brought to the United States as a child in 1998. She is now in removal proceedings in Louisiana.

While she was also signing letters decrying cancel culture … to actively suppress other journalists who would challenge her narrative
Olivia Nuzzi wrote an entire story based on unnamed sources about Biden's decline, reinvigorating calls for him to leave the race -- and the whole time, she was working on RFK Jr.'s behalf, according to her ex-fiance. newrepublic.com/article/2035...
Olivia Nuzzi’s Real Victims
More than her fiancé, or fellow female journalists, the public will pay the price for these misdeeds. RFK Jr. will see to that.

She's a nurse & grandmother who had been here for 30 years
She had a work permit
She was taken when she went to her annual ICE check-in
She was shipped to Ghana, where she was dragged on the floor.
She was then shipped to Sierra Leone, from which she had fled, and *despite a court order.*

Ms. Kuyateh was one of 19 third-country nationals sent to Ghana on Nov. 6. At least 61 TCNs have been removed there since September.
Others report similar treatment. Nigerians were forced to cross into Togo w/o documents, rendering them essentially stateless

Its so frustrating to use Google for recipe searches now. Why ruin a great thing in accessible, credible recipes?
NEW: AI “recipe slop” is overrunning search and social. Food creators say Google’s AI Overviews and glossy fake food pics are drowning out real, tested recipes — collapsing traffic and setting home cooks up for disaster, especially this Thanksgiving.

The Biden administration actually tried to do something about it but you’re here almost exclusively because the first Trump administration opened the flood gates and then undid everything Biden tried to fix
My in-laws have a landline and they have already received 7 scam phone calls on it this morning.
The inability (or refusal; my largely ignorant assumption is that it’s a little of both) of government to do anything about this problem is maddening and corrosive.

I genuinely don't get the NIMBY theory of make rent go down. To the extent they have one, it's fantasy: a ban on people moving into the city. The municipal government making rents lower by fiat. It'd be more productive to leave housing policy and become a full-time Wookiepedia editor.
the left nimby crashout bc Zohran actually wants to build more housing is genuinely so funny

Yep, one of the biggest drivers of the elite panic around “wokeness” was the increasing prominence of Black people and particularly Black women in their fields and we’re seeing that coalition rewarded with the targeting of Black workers.
Since February, according to my latest analysis, almost 600,000 Black women have been economically sidelined. The November 20, 2025, Jobs Report makes clear this isn’t a blip. It’s a structural crisis. That is not a recovery. It is a redistribution of opportunity.
