The phrase "laundering responsibility" so perfectly encapsulates it because it also absolves the everyday joes from thinking it's a big deal to use a chatbot on their phone. 25 years ago, everyone around me in IT used the great power/great responsibility quote. Now it's all whoopsie-daisy times.

Republicans love pushing vocational-only education instead of comprehensive-education because they want a healthy supply of low-cost servants and less competition for the professional and boss jobs they want their own kids to have.

I'm not being hyperbolic when I say I have been writing this paper for literally years now, so I'm proud that she's finally out in the world. It was also probably the most constructive, kind, challenging review process I've ever had.

I thought I was quoting Cornac McCarthy but I wasn’t. I thought it was the last sentence of ‘The Road’, but it isn’t.
The last paragraph of ‘The Road’ by Cormac McCarthy. It made me cry. The last sentence is ‘In the deep glens where they lived all things were older than man and they hummed of mystery.

It’s not anti‑technology to say that data centers shouldn’t harm the communities around them. Environmental justice matters. Local residents deserve clean air, safe water, and a say in what gets built in their backyard. Speaking up as she is , is how we protect each other. #SheShed
