"AI" is absolutely and ONLY a marketing term, and at this point if it's being used, the intent behind it is to overpromise to the consumer/end user on the program's actual capabilities. And, of course, none of the "AI" is actually intelligent in any meaningful way.

CEOs, billionaires, and college students who don't want to write anything themselves love "AI" but it's feeling more and more like a bubble that will burst. There's a Ponzi scheme-like quality to these claims that the next iteration will better.

If Ticketmaster can have the audacity to charge a service fee, then you can apply for that job/text that crush/write that novel.

Took a break from scowling. Only for a minute, though.

Undocumented immigrants pay almost $100 billion in taxes each year.

The top 1% evade $163 billion in taxes each year.

Stop pretending that immigrants are the ones taking advantage of taxpayers.

So, today, how can I ethically make a couple of million dollars to give my sweetheart as a proposal gift. Because I a) think it's fair, she is worth double that, and b) I probably make 46k to 52k working full time in a factory.

Tomorrow, a certain online mega-retailer launches a book sale, just days before Indie Bookstore Day on 4/26. This is no coincidence; Bookstore Day is one of the largest revenue drivers for indies.

Indies need our support to thrive & build community spaces for all...mega-retailers do not.

There's only one person I would wear that for, and I doubt I ever looked that good, but yeah, sure!

It’s a recalibration of economic control.

Oligarchs don’t live paycheck to paycheck. They have the capital to buy market dips and recoup faster, acquiring more assets at fire sale prices along the way.

When the dust finally settles, they will own more.

The rest of us will own less. A lot less.

The billionaire class in the US has worked OVERTIME to push the β€œrugged individualism” lie for decades to intentionally separate and isolate. They know unity means their downfall.

Was noticing that many of my followers are clearly activists not just in bio but in content. Then I was noticing that many of those folx intersect with other Practitioners I follow. More evidence that Witches are a good percentage of the populations working for a better life on Earth. #Witchsky

So, please explain to me again why we should be impressed that a generator system designed by human beings, & programmed & configurated through the products of an unimaginable wealth of human creativity, generates things that look like the things on which they have been programmed.

Opinion | Trump’s Order to the Smithsonian Distorts Teaching of American History The assumption that there is a standard, agreed-upon truth about the country’s past is a fantasy; but when declared by a sitting president, it becomes a provocation.
