I think I need to come to terms with the fact that I'm not gonna meet the deadline for the writathon.
It's my first time ever attempting it. I've written 32k words in a bit under a month, when my pace all year was... Well. /Zero./ Going from nothing to a sprint like this has been eye opening.

Y'know out of all times to be hit with executive dysfuntion depression I think the day before black friday weekend, where I work for four days in a row, while I'm behind in a writathon where I have until the 5th of december to write 22k more words is probably the worst I've found yet

If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features."
There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.

Apparently P*ypal now asks for customer opinions on accounts sending invoices.
If you are paying an invoice to a nsfw artist, do NOT mention NSFW in any way, keep it blank even. you risk both your account and the artists.

this sounds like a great idea. luckily there are no extremely serious consequences to providing false information to the Internal Revenue Service
TurboTax is about to be integrated into ChatGPT, where customers will be guided through tasks tied to their tax filings or financial profile by the AI chatbot.
TurboTax owner Intuit is also paying OpenAI more than $100 million a year to power AI agents.

I think this is the most infuriating thing I've ever fucking seen.
What the fuck do you mean the word is "POTENTIALLY" MISSPELLED? IT LITERALLY IS. YOU KNOW IT IS. WHY ARE YOU NOT CORRECTING IT, OR GIVING ME CORRECTIONS? Why are you saying 'look u messed up btw... Might wanna retype that urself...'

I still can't believe we can't even trust 'No-AI allowed' products/platforms made by anyone who isn't independent because the only reason tech companies/billionaires ban AI on their services is so they can harvest new training data for their other services that do use AI

One of the strangest aspects of aging that they don't warn you about is watching as history gets rewritten right in front of your face and people 20 years younger than you confidently tell you about something you lived through and get it completely wrong.

Insane how bad the infighting in the community is over Invisigal and Blonde Blazer though. It's a video game romance option guys. Wild how quickly this stuff goes from 'I prefer this one!' to 'The one you like is a (insert slurs and insults) and you're bad for liking them.'
