Generate nonsense platitudes and not show up at the office? Sounds like the perfect job for AI. Just need to teach it golf.

Calling it now: the AI rename will be dutifully followed by companies, and it will massively backfire. Hard to imagine a way to turn off people more than pushing a rename of something they already felt overwhelmed by.

To restaurants/foodtrucks who use AI for menus: do you think the food looks good, and do you not own a phone with a camera on it?

As much discourse as there is about how polarized we've become by party, I don't think we talk enough about how extreme the gap in gender voting habits since 2016 is.

Peter Venkman as played by Bill Murray in the Ghostbusters could avoid the draw of the One Ring purely on the premise its use would interfere with his biting sarcasm

When you've been calling the center-right Democratic Party "marxists, socialist, and communist" for decades, how is this strategy supposed to work now? I think far-right punditry has painted itself into a corner and I hope the new Dems roll them. (but I'm not optimistic)

What's old is new again. I remember when in the early 90s AI research was rebranded "Machine Learning" because people thought "Artificial Intelligence" sounded creepy and it was hurting grant funding. For a brief moment AI was back and the sexiest thing. Now serious researchers are retreating to ML.

Honest question: (and I know this is probably 100% FUD, but) is there actually any evidence this is happening at all. I know when I lived in a community with a lot of migrant workers, they all lived in homes/duplexes owned by white landlords

The re-erecting of Confederate statues are a wholly different and pernicious act compared to just leaving them up. Politicians can wave off, disingenuously, decades old statues as part of the landscape. "It's always been there!" (it hasn't tho). But putting one back up? That's a choice.

1/ Update on what we know about the evolving hantavirus situation, strap in. A Swiss man linked to the ship has now tested positive after developing symptoms after disembarking. He received an exposure alert, sought care, and tested positive. This means there are 3 deaths and 5 suspected.

Saw a bit of booksky discourse of authors saying "if you pirate my books, you are stealing from me." So I'll just say: "if you're pirating my books, I don't really care that much." I came up writing zines and the whole point was copying and it was cool and good and punk rock.
