The Strait of Hormuz is open for transit
As you use AI to simplify easy yet mundane tasks, like writing emails, you get increasingly dependent on it.
You get lazy, less skilled, use your brain less, and (you may not want to hear this) get stupider as a result.
Don’t let them take away your ability to think. Stop using it. Now.
So, I try to do what I can. Not gonna feel bad about it.
It would've been way easier if the political situation were different as everyone's struggling in some form nowadays.
But we're never alone. This sucks, but this too will pass.
Huge thanks for everyone who's helped and/or reposted so far.
some months I can't provide for her rent/bills, she has debt + insurance debt to deal with
I've already burned savings a few loans for her but now I have to deal with those. So some months can be really bad. I have to manage this until around August as she'll recover some of her retirement by them
I've been on a rough situation e?since I got hit by the combo of helping with my mother's bills after two cancer surgeries and a 22 days hospitalization that resulted in a large insurance charge to her retirement. Plus losing most of my income to market changes
I can still cover myself but (cont)

The number one website currently cited in Google’s AI search mode? It’s Google.
The second? That’s YouTube, which is also owned by Google.
Google’s using circular hyperlinks in AI Mode to keep users locked into their platforms. My latest for @wired.com:

This is just astonishingly great reporting.
All of the crises the White House has claimed over the last 14 months were planned in advance. All of them.
And however much contempt you have for media outlets who reverently relayed Trump's claim to have no relation to Project 2025, it isn't enough.

On the subject of purists within the various fandoms: no sheer amount of the self righteousness belief that “we are not with them” is going to protect you… it is >not< going to protect you.
Artist Adamtots puts it nicely on perspective:
Whenever you shit on the lowest rung of the ladder, you become one step closer to the lowest rung.
Existing at all in a puritan society is inherently dangerous- When attacking others keeps you safe, someone will ALWAYS try to become holier than thou.
You WILL be someone else's necessary sacrifice.
the stink of gender resentment coming off Silicon Valley has been obvious for a while. these men hate women because they hate being told no.

Last year when I was checking into a hotel, the desk person was wearing Meta glasses. I kindly asked them to take them off. They were annoyed. I said, “I do not consent to you looking at my credit card and ID with Meta glasses on.” My instincts were correct: www.bbc.com/news/article...
