So enamored with the idea of replacing pesky humanses--forming unions, demanding time off, complaining about working conditions, getting hurt--they jumped in feet-first without testing it.

Idiots.

Running out of money, no more loans?

The writing is on the wall, it’s only a matter of time.

Is that all?

Not a billionaire.

My iPhone 12 mini is the perfect size. I don’t want to carry a damn tablet in my pocket. Maybe if I spent all day staring at it, I would, IDK.

Do mods have some way to definitively ID a bot? I don’t know how that works. If that’s possible, I agree. Otherwise…

There are real, live people who write just like this. LLMs were trained on such writing, remember? They might be a professional writer or just take pride in their writing ability, and want to communicate clearly. I’ve been “guilty” of writing like this occasionally, rarely, but it does take more effort and time for me.

We’re all free to agree or disagree with what an account posts. Human or not, every account is “pushing” some sentiment, some point of view.

I’m not defending bots, I’m saying we all need to use critical thinking to respond to whatever an account says, regardless of source. If we choose to respond at all, that is. Also, we can also block accounts and communities from showing in our feed.

“Free” apps from a commercial business are only “free” until they get a foothold, then they start limiting access, and putting new features behind the paywall.

No “war” on Adobe will succeed until businesses start using something other than Adobe software. If you want to earn money in visual arts, you must learn Adobe software. If you take classes, they all teach Adobe software. Beyond that, though, clients provide assets in proprietary Adobe formats, expecting the studio to use Adobe software.

I was a graphic designer for over twenty years. My preferred app for vector work and document layout was Corel Draw, it’s better than Illustrator in many ways, and replaced both Illustrator and InDesign for 99% of the work I did. But, I still needed to know Illustrator and InDesign, because clients provided assets, and incoming employees only knew Adobe and wouldn’t try anything else. Also, though, GIMP is still not a good substitute for Photoshop. I use it now, since I’m retired, but it’s still not as good.

No, they want robots to work in the factories, because they don’t complain and don’t unionize, and don’t take time off, and work for electrons.

Place your bets now!

No, it was the Waffle House.

You know what this is:

Here’s why:

“Boys will be boys.”

“He’s not wrong, she is hot.”

“Little slut deserves it for dressing like that.”

“Why didn’t I think of this? I wonder if he has any videos.”

“Note to self: accept his 4th of July pool party invitation this year.”

Not “likely”, definitely.

And, the “resources” is an email to the school administration. They wouldn’t even ask why. They’d just send over her entire file--address, family, friends, grades, classes, teachers, school schedule, after school activities--everything.

Surprising it actually contains drugs that are prescription-only in most countries. As in, I’m surprised the product actually works as advertised, and isn’t just some bullshit “aphrodisiac” supplement or something like that.

I’m also wondering how much they charged for it, because sildenafil isn’t cheap, at least not in my experience. I suppose they might have gotten their hands on some expired lot?

Midterms are going to be interesting.

I wasn’t complaining, just surprised.

Party poopers.

So… I mean, is the “masturbatory aid” also some sort of ointment? Are we talking lubes here, or something a bit harder?

Or, wait! Maybe the insect repellent is like a bug zapper? The mind reels.

Flypaper?

I didn’t need to read that.

Parents are already propping their kids up in front of a tablet as soon as they can lift their heads. This is just the next logical step to completely disconnecting from raising them.

These kids are going to get all As and come out of high school completely feral and unable to read or write.
