Hilarious that they are desperately trying to find software developers with social skills as opposed to just hiring #humanfactors engineers that do this for a living. And are trained in the appropriate methodologies.

Just massively insensitive and ableist against me and my fellow nut allergy-havers.
About the size of a walnut these ‘Prayer nuts’ are delicately carved biblical scenes in boxwood. Made in the Netherlands in the first half of the 16th Century. On display in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam 🇳🇱

Besides the fact that paying the military through unofficial channels from anonymous individuals is uh legally questionable, this works out to less than a hundred bucks per active duty service member. Ya know. A stunt.
New: The Pentagon confirms to CNN it will funnel $130M from an anonymous Trump “friend” toward military pay.

My prediction? After OpenAI fails to secure funding for its #AI data centers, it will be tech rapture. Always still possible but beyond reach due to a lack of faith.
As opposed to an unsustainable boondoggle that was clearly mathematically impossible.
Not the best lesson for #tech to learn.

Oh hey look it’s exactly what I’ve been saying - Microsoft doesn’t believe it’s physically possible for them or for anyone to build the data centers OpenAI wants.

What is even the point of this #AI “content creation”.
Its just spam across every channel and medium now. Serving no purpose. Enjoyed by no one. Not even downloaded.
Just a wasteland of AI generated garbage.

found out what former Wondery COO Jeanine Wright is up to: flooding the internet with unlistenable AI podcasts
Her company has put out around 156,000 AI podcast episodes in two years and has averaged about 64 listens per podcast total in that time (less than one download a week)
