Maybe they think people will be all, oh, I've never heard it, lemme go give it a listen, and somehow that'll reverse-engineer popularization?? (However, I've never heard of the song or the artist, but I'm definitely not running out to give it a listen).

AP Stylebook warns against anthropomorphizing AI systems: “Avoid language that gives them human characteristics… Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it.”

Artificial intelligence systems do not think, feel, want or understand. Avoid language that gives them human characteristics. This is called anthropomorphizing, when we ascribe human traits, emotions or behaviors to non-human things, such as animals or inanimate objects.
Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it.

He cut a trillion dollars from of America’s healthcare system, but you won’t feel the full pain until January 1st. Why? Because — by design — he wants your midterm vote — and thinks you’re stupid enough to vote red November 3rd without knowing you won’t feel the pain until Jan 1.

Well, yeah. It's kind of a rhetorical question because: narcissism. But it's freaking annoying. When I visited Chicago, the whole river area is polluted by his giant-ass name plastered on that tower. You can't get away from it. It's so gross.

It's neither here nor there, but I don't understand the appeal of a 1200s England take on R&J? At this point, that poor play has been run through the ringer in just about every possible variation. It's tired.

I mean, they probably don't actually know anything about the differences, but they're trying to sound highbrow like they do and are just coming across as morons to anyone who understands anything about the history of the language.

I saw someone say the point was to tank the stock so rich people could buyit cheap, then when consumers forget and start buying the product again, stocks will go back up and make more money, but who knows?

Better idea: No AI in school at all. Humanity has literally managed to educate itself for millennia without the trash slop machine of AI, so we can just continue doing so and be better off as a result.

It didn't need to be fixed. It was fine before he broke it, but that's his MO: take a thing that works fine, break it, offer a cheap-ass solution to fix the problem he created, then pretend to be a hero.

I'd like to get better at working illustrator. Would anyone want probono book covers? (the design and text elements. You would need to supply the HUMAN MADE ART NO AI). I maybe have the capacity for 5 right now. Preference for queer/bipoc indie writers. #booksky #writesky #writingcommunity

Like they've ever cared about women's sports. At best those morons ignored them completely; otherwise, they've ridiculed/mocked them as inferior. Now we're supposed to believe they give a hoot about whether they're fair? Nope. It's just a useful tool in their made-up culture wars.

1. Pre-crime is not a real thing, it's a stupid industry buzzword; 2. AI is the dumbest human invention ever (nobody really needs it, and it's so inaccurate and faulty that it's basically useless), so only the stupidest people would think it's a good idea to use it for surveillance prediction.

Trump "says" a lot of stupid stuff. Don't just pick out things what sound remotely normal and report them as sane, but then ignore the absolute lunatic stuff he says. The one gives context to the lack of credibility of the other.

Labor Day is about unions. Unions built the middle class. You can’t support the middle class without supporting unions. Massively powerful companies & their politicians spend LOTS of money telling you not to support unions. Because it’s the only thing they fear. Happy Labor Day

As GenX I was a kid in the 70s, so the only way we watched movies on repeat were the annual showings of things like the Wizard of Oz or Westside Story, both of which I watched every year.
