Parents too into LLM AIs? Try this weird tip: tell them all the bad or weird decisions you made recently were recommended by AI

Most marketing software doesn’t report statistical significance because then people might realize a lot of their a/b tests are useless

Apparently there is a setting in Canva called “chronically online” that turns the text into this. Office prankster gold mine.

Playing old school RPGs hits different these days. Used to think the cackling menacing villains were too exaggerated but now that’s like my country’s government…

Just remembering the era when the tech world thought Sheryl Sangberg/Lean In was good… and if you were like idk I’m a wit and this book seems bad you were considered a freak

My fav shows are now Chinese microdramas where the plot is like a modern woman ends up in the Tang Dynasty or something and invents like guns and washing machines

I do a lot of boring social media graphics which is something you'd think AI might actually be useful for, but Canva's AI is hilariously bad

I’m reading Frankenstein and Dr. Frankenstein is so relatable! Hyperfocusing for months of something that turns out to be a grotesque disaster and then having a nervous breakdown? We’ve all been there, at least I have.

The stray kitten saga was a sober realization that a lot of the resources for low cost neuter/spay are still too hard to access. Like I’m not sure how someone without a lot of time is supposed to do this.

I found a stray kitten I’d like to find a home for and every time I post a pic people are like “it’s your cat now” smh

Someone I know was like “AI is great for bill splitting” and he sent ChatGPT our bill and told it to split it. ChatGPT returned an AI generated image of people splitting a bill…

This must be what it was like to live in the heyday of seances except instead of “oh the ghost in my house told me” it’s “ChatGPT told me”

I’m not sure what data I accidentally shared that caused this glorious instacart ad that features jackfruit, ???? pepsi, a tripe dog toy (I don’t have a dog), and ube queso ice cream (ok this sounds good and my Filipino friend said it’s legit)

Llm coding agents are like if you had a real junior developer except all the parts where its unable to meaningfully learn and there are no consequences for it making stuff up or deleting tests to make them pass

It’s funny how the whole “every resume bullet point needs a number” thing has become so common even though we all know it forces made up numbers like “lmproved coding by 55%”

I haven’t seen too many people talk about this but the shift between 2020 DEI programs and support of BLM and marginalized communities at large to now seeing tech moguls blatantly support Trump at worst or say nothing at all at best has given me whiplash and put a bad taste in my mouth

Does anyone know of a mailing list platform that allows you to have some subscribers get digests but paid members get posts as they come out?

I had to call wildlife rehab about a bird and I deeply vibed with the rescuers attitude being like “wtf problem did these birds get themselves into this time? I hope it’s not actually serious because I absolutely don’t have time for this “

Layoffs are an extremely effective way to bust unions. It happened to us at Glitch. Companies need to be held accountable to prove that layoffs are not motivated by union busting.

Union busting under the guise of pivoting to AI. Sadly the current NLRB DGAF
