"But when the team looked at the employees’ actual work output, they found that the developers had completed tasks 20% slower when using AI than when working without it. Researchers were stunned. “No one expected that outcome. We didn’t even really consider a slowdown as a possibility.”

A few weeks ago, I was talking with a co-worker about how fully remote jobs are disappearing.

"Working from the office is good for the economy," she said, without a trace of irony, "Without it, people won't buy cars or clothes or go to restaurants."

I've been thinking about that ever since.🧵

First boyfriend (Myel is so very right about it)

#art #oc #comic

A digital comic page with 4 panels, featuring my ocs Stellan (a tall skinny white cis man with long pink hair in a ponytail and blue eyes) and Klaus (a muscular black trans man with black and grey locks, green eyes and white freckles all over his body.)
First panel is Stellan looking upset saying to Klaus "I'm Myel's first boyfriend" and Klaus answering, annoyed "What? No"
2 and 3rd panel are side view of each, talking angrily to each other, Klaus says "I met him first", Stellan says "I fell for her first, And i had his first kiss!" and Klaus says "She had sex with me first"
Last panel is Stellan looking proud of himself saying "well he likes me more" and Klaus screaming "Of course not!!"

Second page of the comic, with the same characters + Myel, a feminine small white transmac person with shoulder lengh green hair and yellow eyes.
1st panel is Stellan and Klaus turning to Myel asking "Myel!! Who's the first boyfriend between us??" and Myel is turning to them, eating a honey pastry. 2nd panel is Myel thinking "saying hmm", last panel is him with a big smile saying "It's me.. no?" and Klaus and Stellan looking at her blushing saying "yeah..."

We're coming to a conclusion that as much as we like the guy, Ranma 1/2 would've been infinitely better if 50-80% of Ryoga's shit was given to Akane instead. (And 25% of Ranma's fights too)
