I have bad news for you about the kind of guy Jesus was

Effectively, it's a marketing effort.

Precisely, this is wishcasting by people who have a vested interest in making it seem like AI can and will be everywhere.

Not for much else, though.

Exactly. This is functionally a list of who Microsoft and others would like to try to replace. It doesn't mean it will work.

The ones most likely to be replaced are jobs like my own, developers. Where generative AI is just an elaborate pattern-matching machine, that works for coding.

Would you feel satisfied with a tablet-bot calming down your kid on their first flight? Would you trust a tablet-bot to safely escort everyone out of a train car after it derails?

Yeah I think passenger attendant is especially baffling. The whole point is to be a person there in case something is needed for comfort or safety. AI literally can't do that

Look, I know this may seem self-interested since "web developer" is on the most impacted list, but I just don't think this is realistic. How would generative AI operate as a historian, considering it can only reshuffle existing content?

I actually do keep a real, monthly budget (it's the most basic financial advice you get) and groceries are consistently creeping up. We haven't fundamentally changed what we buy, in fact, we're buying less week to week since most produce comes from our CSA, which is prepaid

3 Aug 25 - New study shows vast "over-representation of trans boys" turns out to be vast _under-representation_ of trans girls bec. they: a) come out ~10 years later; b) start puberty later; & c) delay transitioning longer because of deep social animus towards AMAB femininity.

I know it sounds silly, but @pewpewbang.bsky.social was conceived as a response to the absolute fury and hopelessness we felt late last year.
We wanted to be unapologetically weird, fun, loud women, and create somewhere other people who needed an escape from The Horrors could laugh & have some fun.

A big wide angle view of a pasture that is hopelessly empty and boring except for a small cow at a small table with tools on it in the middle of the bottom of the frame. The cow, table, tools, and barn behind it are a consistent art style, while the added silos, landscape, and clouds surrounding the tiny focus of the image appear to be a slightly different and worse art style.

Yeah as long as it's through your state's actual site/department for unclaimed property, that's legit, you can actually get money

Truly, I would hate living further out than I do. I can be at 3 different train stations into Boston within 30 minutes. I can drive to 2 smaller cities within 30 minutes. There's even a regional bus (though we need more)!

Within town, I can walk to a grocery store, brewery, restaurant all in 1mi.

"bang a gong, we are on" should be used more often when things start

Start of a race? Bang a gong, we are on!

Starting a wedding ceremony? Bang a gong!
