had another frustrating AI-bot-"chat" experience this morning thx to T-Mobile. another entity (possibly AI possibly human) followed up by email. at which point i had to comment "AI is good at doing things confidently yet incorrectly. apologies if you are also an AI bot but you need to hear it."

this 1000%

The most jarring thing about the capitulation of American universities is that I used to think they’re defenders of free speech (tenure and all) but it turns out they’re just real estate and patent-generation empires scrapping their way through an amoral administration for narrow advantage.

Qatar threatened to cut EU LNG supplies over sustainability law, letter shows Qatar has threatened to cut gas supplies to the European Union in response to the bloc's due diligence law on forced labour and environmental damage, a letter from Qatar to the Belgian government, seen by Reuters, showed.

Who was it that said switching to LNG would increase energy security? Oh yeah, the LNG lobby.

The EU now finds itself being blackmailed by Qatar - in addition to the US - over energy supplies if it doesn't weaken environmental protections. Expect more deregulation 😖

Opted out! The long game of AI is to automate intellectual labor and make folks like us even more expendable than we already are. They can steal if they want but I’m not loading the guns of the firing squad
