We might as well cut out the media middlemen and get AI to generate our listicles ourselves. Why see ads?
Listicle from media website that still includes the chatgpt prompts in the text.

New startup idea: LinkedOut. A site where you track the assholes you absolutely don't want to work with, ever again. Alerts you when any HR from those companies pings you. Depending how much you hate them, you can assign them a 1st, 2nd, 3rd level distance to keep.

I'm old enough to remember when Frey made up whole swaths of his "memoir." Frey has always seemed like a grifter, and him using AI to write passages in his new novel isn't surprising when you know his past grifts like this YA one. Rich white men get chance after chance after chance, don't they. 😒

Here's what's *really* going to happen: All the technical parts of the creative process - computer animation gruntwork, sound leveling, copying around and formatting the screenplay, splicing together multiple takes, ykwim - are going to be replaced by AI. Letting creatives do it all by themselves.

Copilot consumes Nadella’s life outside the office as well. He likes podcasts, but instead of listening to them, he loads transcripts into the Copilot app on his iPhone so he can chat with the voice assistant about the content of an episode in the car on his commute to Redmond. At the office, he relies on Copilot to deliver summaries of messages he receives in Outlook and Teams and toggles among at least 10 custom agents from Copilot Studio. He views them as his AI chiefs of staff, delegating meeting prep, research and other tasks to the bots. “I’m an email typist,” Nadella jokes of his job, noting that Copilot is thankfully very good at triaging his messages.

Almost nobody wants you (or encourages you) to spend time with your friends. Your office doesn't like it, your family wants more of your time, your hobbies try to pull you away. But you absolutely need to prioritize them because they're the only ones you can be honest with.

Say it after me: Chat GPT is not a search engine. It does not scan the web for information, it just generates statistically likely sentences. You cannot use it a search engine, or as a substitute for searching. Now. Please never use an LLM for information searches ever again.

"Your portrait just winked at me," I tell my cousin, backing away from the canvas. The painted eyes follow me across her studio.

"Oh good, it's working!" She adjusts her easel. "I've been experimenting with consciousness transference. The paint contains my blood."

"You put yourself... in there?" I whisper.

She shrugs. "Just opinions. Some memories I'd rather not keep."

"Which ones?"

The portrait smiles. My cousin doesn't.

"The ones about you," they answer simultaneously.

I'm getting so sick of social media, especially the way it ignores depth of content for surface shine, and how it's replacing all slower-paced media. I don't want to be writing crappy X/BS/Reddit posts showing off my so-called coolness, I just want to have interested folks read my actual writing.

When neighbourhoods were still made up of independent homes, there was always that one shunned house. Overgrown garden, rusty gates, broken window panes, dark within. Wander round the back and you start to see signs of inhabition...

Back in the day, my favourite joke used to be a Feghoot that ended with "Na kuch teri bus mein Julie, Na kuch meri bus mein." It just occurred to me that I can't tell that joke any more, because no one knows the song now 💔. Feeling like that Simpsons Grandpa meme.

Masterful weaselly answer. "Hindi film makers are making multiplex films" it seems. It's all about making a film that an average person can relate to. Corruption, prices, job insecurity, molestation, fear of police and politicians... tackle these! www.deccanherald.com/entertainmen...
