Millennial (sorry) with AuDHD (not sorry). Jungle Asian. A volleyball anime saved my life, a guy with a giant duck thing made it better; both made me cringe af. Red panda on the other place. Probably your only Melanau friend.

I'm not the first to say it, but I think we should absolutely start a campaign to convince all the worst people that K2 is a *much* more impressive mountain to climb than Everest and we would all be much more impressed by that achievement

This is why OpenAI is selling so aggressively to education at all levels—they want to create entire generations of users incapable of reading, writing and thinking without ChatGPT to hold their hands
And teachers and professors should call this out for what it actually is

To bear out this rosy projection, HSBC assumes that OpenAI will become "as ubiquitous [...] as Microsoft 365" (345mm users worldwide) while bringing in 10x the number of users (3bn).

Australia recorded ZERO cases of cervical cancer in women under 25 for the first time since they started tracking the cancer in the 80s.
This is the power of vaccines.
The HPV vaccine is extremely effective at preventing cancer.
Viruses can be oncogenic. Get your vaccines and protect yourself!

"Bamboo" is maybe exotic and a compelling hook but it is too easy. The real story here is the growing culture of corruption, including a lack of accountability and oversight, that enabled a chain of human errors that led to this disaster.

The struggle of being old enough that people call you Puan (equivalent to Mrs. but not necessarily married) instead of Cik (Miss), but being so used to being polite to service workers that you call the obviously younger woman at the chicken rice shop "Kak" (Big Sis) instead of "Dik" (Little Sib).

Said it before will say it again: never used it. Won’t use it. I will go into the woods and become mulch before I use it.
one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

People like Jason Scott have the fervor and righteousness of a Southern Preacher but it means that I instinctively distrust any positive/descriptive statements they make because they will always be returning to the particular normative absolutism of a Person Who Enjoys Running their Own Email Server

Right now the only way for the vast majority of writers and artists to make any kind of a modest living is to self-publish. All but the luckiest few are having to do this. This means the only income most of us have is from Crowdfunded projects. If you love what someone does & can afford it, pay them

1. Who decided that zhuzh would be spelled that way?
2. Why are rich people so miserable that they want to make everyone miserable, instead of happily spending their money commissioning massive Rube Goldberg machines?
