Why I Still Won't Use ChatGPT This technology easily manipulates your perception of reality. Who is that useful for?

For @spitfirenews.com I wrote about "ChatGPT induced psychosis," how the chatbot distorts reality for all of its users, and why, despite what feels like growing pressure to conform to the hype, I still won't use it (and I'm not missing out)

Funny, I can't seem to recall ANY red state taking a vote, to the people, about gerrymandering their state. Wonder why that is? Kinda feels like they're scared of people voting.

Squeaker Johnson with text, โ€œNo food for you until the Democrats let us take away your healthcareโ€

As 42M Americans go hungry, The Felon hosts a โ€œGreat Gatsbyโ€ Halloween Party.
Every person at that party should be shunned and called out verbally when seen in public spaces.

This isnโ€™t America. This is HELL.

We donโ€™t have a money problem in this country.

We have a greed problem. A cruelty problem.

A government that keeps choosing the rich over the rest of us.

Mainers will decide a ballot measure tomorrow that could restrict mail voting, with an outsize effect on older folks.

Bhattacharya claims that there are no banned words in grant applications. But scientists have to tip-toe around words to reduce risk of rejection.

700 titles have been changed, per @jeremymberg.bsky.social

Scrapped words include-
Disparities
Latino
Black
Women
Asian
Diverse

I spend $180 a week feeding a family of fourโ€”same basics, different fruits and veggies depending on the season. The average SNAP recipient gets that for an entire month. The issue isnโ€™t whoโ€™s getting helpโ€”itโ€™s that the systemโ€™s math ignores what survival actually costs. #Pinks #MomSky
