As I have said before, it's basically a Lorem Ipsum generator but not even with a cool theme.
Every prompt to chatbot software is “generate me some text.” If it generated you some text, it performed its function correctly. It never lies, it never wants anything, it’s text generating software that generates text.
Not wanting to disappoint you so much that it lies is the last quality I want in a computer.

I am often surprised at the way people enjoy jobs I would hate.
and half of hating jobs is probably that you are coerced to do them and also management mistreats you because you don't have a choice.

So the thing is:
a. there are people who genuinely enjoy tasks and fields the majority of people find tedious or gross or just want to avoid and don't need to be coerced into doing them.
b. UBI should provide for treats and travel and hobbies because otherwise it's still just coercion.

Always grinds my gears when people say "No one would work drudge jobs if there was a UBI"
But even staying completely capitalist, I disagree. If I received a baseline living-wage UBI, and then I was offered REWARDS for drudge jobs, I'd take it! I want to save up for treats and travel and hobbies!

Me, seeing Franz von Stuck's Sensuality for the first time: okay but what kind of snake is that?
Because it does seem at least as though he's working from a real snake for the body, even if he apparently has never seen a snake's face like ever.

I gave Allison after NXIVM a try thinking I was going to hate it and now I'm at the end and crying.
The part where she is afraid of hurting other people. And also the part where she is honest about what she did and what that says about her and all of that.

Whenever people say something about how [basic human decency] as part of a platform loses elections, I just think they really do not understand how much what people will vote for is—in the end—driven by who is paying for the narrative they're hearing.
