I reached out to the author of this viral Reddit post thinking there might be a story in it. He sent me an employee badge that Gemini flagged as being AI-generated and supporting documents that I suspect were also generated by AI. Be careful out there folks!

I feel like I say this every year but I really need people to hear it. Halloween is the best American holiday. Just kids outside welcomed into their world, marching around together, showing off their costumes to the elderly, parents meeting parents, neighbors catching up with neighbors.

Hello, it is me, Technology Broseph. I will now dictate what the future of humanity looks like. My qualifications are that I once tripped balls with a billionaire who then funded my abstract eternal life research venture

A Windows method I've found super useful but never seen others employ: using Win+R as a quick temporary notepad. It lets me do quick text editing before re-pasting, while stripping formatting
