Oh boy, just got a new example to use for “spellcheck doesn’t help you if you spelled a word correctly but it wasn’t the word you meant to use.” No, marine biology textbook draft, I am not writing about “claims,” I am writing about *clams*.

That's just fraud, my dude. Even if you use an AI agent. It's just fucking fraud.

Nikita Bier: Hello computer,

Find every Amazon purchase I ever made.
Call the number of the manufacturer.
Say you’re not satisfied.
Request a refund.
If they decline, threaten to leave a bad review.
If they decline, find the CEO’s phone number and ask him for a refund.

Now, repeat the same process for items I never even purchased and see if you can get them to send me money.

If they ask for a recipient, generate an image of one and send that.

Do not stop until you’ve collected $1 million in refunds.

Spielberg is demonstrating he understands airborne infection and how to mitigate it! He’s outside at the opening of the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art and he’s wearing a KN95! A good respirator protects you and those around you. Covid is not over and a mask is a great way to stay healthy.

Articles like these are emblematic of the institutional amnesia surrounding Covid-19. A pathogen that emerged less than seven years ago, which can cause fatigue during the acute infection and as a common long-term effect, not even mentioned. Conspicuously absent. www.nbcnews.com/health/menta...

Why are Americans so tired? CDC report highlights who’s feeling it most

Fatigue is one of the most common concerns reported in primary care visits, yet not much attention is given to how often adults in the U.S. are coping with it.

They took memory cards and sold us cloud storage. They took CDs and DVDs and sold us streaming. They took software you bought once and turned it into a monthly subscription. Corporate America figured out the real money wasn’t in selling you something. It was making sure you NEVER actually own it.

Every now and then I see myself referred to as an "AI Denier" and I want to be clear I acknowledge "AI" exists, it's just I think it's a massive energy drain, created from theft, implemented poorly for inappropriate tasks by loathsome tech executives who get hard at the idea of the rest of us dying

I resigned from ExxonMobil today. I spent the last three years doing fossil fuel extraction research at both BP and ExxonMobil. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing to maximize extraction while the window to act closes, and gambling with our lives. More below.
