Today in ominous notes... My boss left me a note reading "ASK ME ABOUT MONDAY MORNINGS!!" ... I mean, nonzero chance it's something small and she doesn't trust either of us to remember it without the emphasis (ADHD is basically a requirement for this office), but still 🫠

If you take money from a partner to expose their branding to users, that is called an “advertisement.” Jesus Christ, that’s OpenAI’s head of machine learning. lol.
OpenAI has started adding target advertising to ChatGPT and the lead scmuck says “this is not an ad. we've launched apps from some of our pilot partners since devday, including target, and have been working to make the discovery mechanism for apps more organic inside chatgpt. our goal is that apps augment the ux when relevant”

Apropos of nothing: I just realized that, rough math, I spent less on premiums+copays in the 2.5 years, combined, I was paying for supplemental coverage through work in Canada than what I paid *after* premiums, last year and this year, each, here in the US. Not accounting for exchange rate.

For those of you who aren’t aware of the autistic advocacy landscape: These organizations are NOT all aligned in their missions and methods. Some of them have been openly hostile to each other. When they all sign a joint statement against your policy, you have really fucked up.

Plain language is communication that your audience can understand the first time they hear or read it. This varies by audience, of course. What is common vocabulary for accountants won't necessarily be common for chemists, clergy, or engineers. Know your audience.
