If I get an 10-paragraph long email from "a famous book club" gushing about the first 2 chapters (interestingly found as the free sample on Amazon) of my book, and in the letter they verbatim regurgitate lines of my prose back to me with massive effusive praise, that's a big ol' scam, right?

Schmitt is breathtakingly stupid, and even when confronted with his embarrassing mistake that he thought a *gotcha* he still doubles down on it. Dude, do you not understand which league is in playoffs in FEBRUARY? It's not NBA, you absolute doorknob. I don't watch sports, and even I know that!

It's such a weird thing on my day off, in the middle of editing a MS, get a call from hospital about an urgent patient issue, log into the EMR to place orders, call specialists to set up consultations, call patient, then just...go back to editing? No wonder why my creative brain gives up at times.

honestly some of the most apocalyptic impacts of "AI" will be shit like this, and most of the doomsday dipshits predicting SkyNet can't be bothered to notice or care

UnitedHealth uses AI model with 90% error rate to deny care, lawsuit alleges

For the largest health insurer in the US, AI's error rate is like a feature, not a bug.

I think what is particularly stunning is how literally everything he touches turns to complete shite. Everything. Yet he somehow makes money doing it. He is the very definition of a mediocre dude "failing up" because he has a big mouth attached to his empty head and some swagger without substance.

I'd go out and buy this book just based on this review, but like any intelligent reader who loves well-written romantic suspense books and who scared to objectively examine the ramifications of colonialism ... I've already read this absolute banger of a book! Smart readers read Rachel Grant!!

Just a friendly reminder that open enrollment for insurance is coming up this year. Don't forget: "Medicare Advantage" IS. NOT. MEDICARE. (it's also called: "Medicare Part C" which is confusing) Don't let slick ads/snazzy flyers fool you. Avoid MA plans like your life depends on it. Bc it does. 1

Post a food from your childhood that you feel nostalgic for even though it was absolutely terrible. I can literally feel the grit and taste the berry milk

Cereal box of Franken Berry cereal which is made up of crunchy ghosts that are an unnatural pink with some gritty marshmallow bats mixed in. After about 3 minutes, the milk in your bowl turns a bizarre pink and tastes like too-sweet berries. It's bizarre and oddly enough, now I want some.

Tastes best if eaten while you are wearing Wonder Woman Underoos, tucked into your Strawberry Shortcake sleeping bag, and sitting about 6 inches from the TV screen -- while watching the Smurfs.

My quote of the day George W. Bush

These acts of violence against innocents violate the fundamental tenets of the Islamic faith. And it's important for my fellow Americans to understand that.
The English translation is not as eloquent as the original Arabic, but let me quote from the Koran, itself: In the long run, evil in the extreme will be the end of those who do evil. For that they rejected the signs of Allah and held them up to ridicule.

Anyone want to purchase tickets to the GOP convention? The price has been lowered to FREE due to terrible ticket sales. It would be an absolute shame if folks signed up but weren't able to attend. I mean, taking out the trash or dusting the bookshelves or cuddles with the cat may take precedence.
