I have read the book. While, at this point, there is no way for me to say no at work without getting fired, the way I refuse is to never use personally.

Not easiest to just not use it.

Especially if the noose is tightening at workplaces in the form of incorporating AI in your workflows.

AI 👏🏻 IS 👏🏻 JUST 👏🏻 A 👏🏻 MARKETING 👏🏻 TERM
remember that:

- there is nothing "intelligent" about it
- it comes at the cost of people's livelihoods and damages vulnerable communities
- genAI hurts the environment

the easiest way to help stop it is to simply not use it 🫡

Curse be upon colleagues who start a Teams meeting 5 mins EARLY and drive you into a panic to finish what you were working on

There used to be a time I took semi nudes and had several people to send to. Now it's just one person who routinely sees me naked anyway.

I miss dating sometimes.

Our anger for LLMs using em dash is displaced. The real culprits are the ones whose data trained chatgpt to do this.

Look what you did with your punctuation!

Honestly, with hindsight, Radcliffe, Watson and Grint's public statements where they sided with trans people, expressed their support with no caveats, and willingly blew up any chances at future ties to the franchise has only gotten more and more noteworthy as more actors are revealed to be cowards

My theory is that if we taxed most of these people without telling them and the people they pay to manage their money didn't tell them, they'd never notice.

And if you'd never notice you should be taxed even more.

MA put in a 4% millionaires tax 2 years ago, & the GOP said we'd miss revenue targets & millionaires would flee. MA collected TWICE the projected revenues, & the number of millionaires went UP 40%.

Not fleeing: New report shows more wealthy residents in Mass., 2 years into 'millionaire's tax'

Despite previous concerns, Massachusetts' "millionaire's tax" hasn't seemed to deter high-earners from continuing to live here, according to a new study from the Institute for Policy Studies.

This is the 4th largest economy in the world as the ruling party would tell anyone who cares to hear.

Bombay is the financial capital of the country. Home to the country's richest.

But for most people, basic commute is either unaffordable or dangerous.

I am full of shame for where we are.

American conservatives are scary

Jay Willis @jaywillis.net · Jul 29

Hey let’s check in on what’s going on in conservative media these da—oh no

CNN host Jim Sciutto on Wednesday appeared to endorse a grieving relative's call for convicted murderer Bryan Kohberger to be raped in prison. The Washington Free Beacon could not agree more. Most mainstream commentators have, in recent years, been too woke to voice support for the ritualistic rape of disgusting freaks who murder our upstanding young men and women. We're glad to see the vibe has shifted back toward common sense.

It should be news if Google functions as a search engine, not the other way around

Paris Marx @parismarx.com · Jul 29

google is cooked. search for “hayley williams” and it doesn’t show her website as a result on the first page. append “website” to the query and it still doesn’t show up 🫠

Opening Bluesky in the morning and confronted with the login page.

Why was I locked out? I get that I don't post here enough. But, my god, you didn't have to slam the door on me.

If everyone can make apps then everyone will make and use their own apps.

At work, they have foisted on me an overenthusiastic, gen z, mansplainer who is chaotic, unorganized and speaks in MBA jargon

It's like working with chatgpt except its somehow worse

I need to incorporate afternoon naptime in my workdays. This relentless pursuit of tasks through the working day is not sustainable. I need a long, drooling-on-my-pillow break.
