I wonder if the FDNY has any safety concerns about their own firefighters constantly double parking down the whole block outside my local fire station? their engines seem to have no problems navigating around this illegal mess

yes, he is focusing on the part where the president wants to commit a crime in his state

i need so much more information about this ice cream recipe

(1) Casey Means is a dreadful nominee and should not be confirmed.
(2) I don't have any desire to defend for-profit advertising of any kind.
(3) "Obesity is a national crisis" as a message both relies on and perpetuates bias against fat people.

MTA blasts 75-decibel ads in subways in latest disruption for NYC commuters — and agency barely makes money off them Sounds like another subway nuisance! Straphangers already struggling to hear service updates over the roar of the subway will soon have to put up with paid commercials blaring through the same spea…

This is inappropriate and unacceptable.

The subway is already too loud, with unnecessary announcements. They make navigation harder for those who rely on them, cause riders to tune out, and make riding a chore.

Advertising is never an appropriate use for transit PAs.

Being a pregnant woman in the US is more dangerous than being a police officer.

Deaths per 100,000:

Police officers: 11.3
Pregnant women: 18.7

It is almost twice as dangerous to bear a child as it is to be a cop.

It really is either you support trans rights or you support Hitler 2.0

This isn't my newsletter's usual beat, but I had to write something jessica.substack.com/p/mens-hocke...

and fin.

i thought this was the last training session, but then they mentioned another one coming up. so who knows! (not AI! that's for sure!)

i requested "Every Night You've Got To Save Me" by Mass Gothic, which was one of the first new-to-me songs i discovered on this, the best radio station on the internet

every time someone asks if this tool can do X thing, the answer is always either a flat out "no" or "no you need to use this other AI tool" so somehow using like 4 different AI tools is more efficient

if you spend a million years providing context and details and a persona or whatever, then you can finally just ask a simple question and *maybe* get a decent answer

"read this document and write a summary for me" just leads to no one having any reading comprehension skills anymore, which will make it way more difficult for people to then read the AI output and determine if it a) makes sense and b) is correct

we're talking about some other AI tool now, but honestly, i wasn't really paying attention because i was too busy requesting a song to be played on @uncertain.fm

someone just asked if you could connect your entire email account to Notebook LM and dear lord, people need to read their fucking emails, i can't

you can upload HR policy to the notebook and then you can ask the chat what's in it. nothing like an option that is slower and less accurate than CTRL+F

you can use AI to make a podcast?! hard no. we have enough podcasts!

use this service to make a whole slide deck, but then you're unable to export it to powerpoint or google slides! how stupid!

LOL there's an outage on this product that they're demoing for us, so he's preemptively blaming that if anything doesn't work correctly

make your notebook a subject expert! somehow this is better than you, a human being, being a subject expert???

use this other AI service (NotebookLM) if you want a "low rate of hallucination" LOLOLOL. what if i want zero hallucination?? not an option?

it's day 3 of training! once again putting all the things i can't say out loud over here

I mean, this was 15 years ago but I imagine this man is only more insufferable now

important to add, he thought the date was going well and tried to get me to go to dinner with him after.

I told him I had plans (which were to eat leftovers in the pleasure of my own company at home)

I once went on a date with a dude at the Starbucks inside the union sq Barnes & Noble (strike 1). he asked what I read & when I returned the question he said "oh I don't read books" (strike 2) & then he insulted the barista and it was 3 strikes before we even sat down.
