I have survived the cold. I shoveled my driveway and managed to carefully drive without crashing.
But today, my washing machine is broken (presumably a frozen line) and I do not think I will survive this.

It's almost like the CEOs are just repeating what the people who sold them the AI said. Weird.
The disconnect between management and employee on AI usage is big. At the same time, CEOs are reporting they aren't seeing any revenue growth from AI.

CEOs Say AI Is Making Work More Efficient. Employees Tell a Different Story.
How much time workers say the technology saves them on the job is vastly different from what executives report.

Honestly, though, for a renowned mathematician it would have been a hilarious chance to immediately respond with a wrong answer

Elon going all in on Generative AI, including enabling Grok to generate deepfakes OF MINORS is unconscionable.
This year we ALL need to be louder than ever about this: GenAI is largely unethical and needs to be regulated.

Airing your familial grievances in public, much less across multiple (almost certainly monetized) platforms, has nothing to do with injustice and everything to do with MAGA grift sympathy farming. This woman isn't interested in re-establishing contact with her daughter. It's all about the cash.
It's been my personal anecdotal experience that people who have gone no contact with a parent usually have done so for good reason, and that re-establishing contact on the parent's terms would do both parties more harm than good.

Terrible News from Intermarché. They have partnered with our main brand of Photo Booth to have a picture of yourself with their wolf thanks to GenAI 🤮

Man, when your site has fallen below *Reddit* among teens...
It's very important we all go back to Twitter, a website as popular with young people as chlamydia.
Teens turn to a variety of online platforms, but YouTube continues to stand out. Roughly nine-in-ten teens report ever using it. TikTok, Instagram and Snapchat are the next most widely used platforms.
