Techbros seem to love Tolkien, so here's an analogy to help you understand what genAI is.
GenAI is The One Ring. You think your use is justified, b/c you don't have evil in your heart.
But it came from evil, it is intended for evil purpose, & anything you do with it will be twisted to that end.

Get your party playlist ready now. Don’t wait until the last minute. No one wants a hastily thrown together list with no cohesion.
i think we should all commit ourselves to, at minimum, a national 3 day party When It Happens. one bottle of champagne in the back of your closet is no longer adequate. be prepared

Once again the answer to, ‘why is this a thing in the US?’ Is always racism.
Henry Ford HATED Jazz because too many Jewish & Black Folks were a part of it. He pushed the Department of Education to make square dance part of the curriculum to counter Jazz.

Much more elegant way of saying, “I’m fueled by spite.”
Remembering Plato’s argument that the only sound reason for seeking political leadership is fear of the mess others would make if they were in charge.

I remember a Cracked article that pointed out kids have been doing "memes" since before we even had the internet. People in the comments are pointing out "Kilroy was here" is a meme, which has been around since at least 1940.
Not only is it not a problem, this has been around for AGES.

Sometimes people are like "aren't you worried about the kids and their nonsensical new brainrot memes"
But like, the thing is, I can still spot a member of my internet generation by how they respond to "badger badger badger badger"
Playing with language and rhythm is fun, it'll be fine!
