At the risk of sounding increasingly like Abe Simpson, this feels like a really direct consequence of shortform video to me

chat is this good

best_of_web 1d
A customer just tried to use an employee discount code that ChatGPT gave her. I work at a high-end clothing store and clocked in to my manager telling me about the most unhinged interaction from yesterday. A woman walked in asking if she could use a 40% off code she got online. We don't have any sales running, so my manager looks at the screen and realizes ChatGPT straight up handed this woman a real employee's internal ID number.

yeah doesn’t seem like any of the people critiquing your wording here are saying you didn’t hyperbolize enough, not sure where that notion even came from

why on earth would anyone ever need ai to find a restaurant menu? I legitimately do not understand why that would ever be necessary when you can instantly find something like that with a simple search

regardless of ALL OF THIS— you are not going to have a successful product if you do not have a comms team that is allowed to function and tell you what it is and isn’t appropriate for your leadership to say publicly. you are expressing sentiment that should stay private.

Also correct succession placement, I’ll never forget how intensely I went from “skeptical it’s actually good and not just something media people talk about” to “this is maybe some of the highest quality craft across multiple departments I’ve ever seen on tv”

does party down get less constantly misogynist in later seasons or is it always like that bc I revisited some early episodes the other day and it was way less enjoyable to watch than I remembered which was a bummer :/

My mom had quite negative feelings about me using the internet as a kid in the early 2000s, said it would rot my brain and get me kidnapped by creeps etc etc, but I don’t know if that’s the same kind of thing since it’s more fear of the unknown rather than outright negativity

I just don’t think it should be categorized as a podcast if a main component is visuals.

It’s an incredibly dumb shift that has never made sense to me and is one of many recent norm shifts in digital media that requires more labor from everyone involved to fulfill

I don’t think I’m ever going to get the appeal of pivoting to video for podcasts. I’ve been listening to podcasts for 20 years, and never once have I thought, my God, I need to SEE these people! I’m on a walk or doing the dishes, I don’t need video.

So wait made by child labor with impossibly fast inventory turnover and terrible quality? I have a silk shirt from them that seems normal so somewhat confused (my mom got it for me, and if there’s been drama abt the company I’ve missed that tbh)

Part of why I don't like the AI-or-bust economy is the constant flopsweat of people on the news who say this HAS to work. Quit making everyone so anxious. Goddamn. If this is the next Google then why are you acting like this? I don't remember being told to buy an iPhone at gunpoint.

The Reasonable AI Centrists are becoming as irritating as the cultists. Yes, we can grant the premise that it's "sort of useful for some things". That doesn't make ANY of this actually worth it.

I think this a lot actually lol (mainly when it involves pitching myself to potential clients and whatnot, not mundane simple stuff) but I would still never want to outsource it!

Yup… basically no one ever provides specifics in these kinds of posts, even when people say it helps them at their job, they never say how!

There are reasons other than net take-home pay that generations of American parents steered their kids toward college. I don't see how "go into construction!" is helpful unless paired with more robust worker protections and a true safety net, especially in right to work states.

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

Brothers and Sisters. Postcard from my collection, mailed 1905.

Black-and-white photo of two tabby kittens and two tabby and white kittens. They are sitting on a little studio scene with books and a wooden box that looks like a jewelry box or humidor. Text at the bottom says brothers and sisters.
