Sorry Not sorry but I have no sympathy for AI users *JUST NOW REALIZING* these systems are spying on you and stealing all your data. How did you not see this coming? Come ON. Do better.

Ethel Cain Just looked it up to see what all the fuss is about. THAT'S what got everyone all worked up and angry? Trans people, you rule. I'm so sorry the cis-afflicted among us are so hateful. You deserve so much better and I hope we get there soon. 💜💜

Sorry not sorry, I don't understand oil prices in barrels. Are they 50 gallon drums? At $100/barrel that's only $2/gallon so that can't be right I have no frame of reference for 'barrels' as a unit of measurement. It means nothing to me.

Hey companies, here's a pro-tip If I'm calling you for help with something, I'm already mad. Forcing me to go through an AI agent before I can reach a human just makes me never want to do business with you again. I hope you go bankrupt.

It's important to teach your kids to write without ChatGPT so when the time comes they'll be able to write notes to be smuggled out of their camp.

I just realized that while the Bible mentions angels singing, it never says they're actually good. In my heart I know they're just the worst choir ever. Cool outfits but just.... please stop The people you find in fields aren't afraid, they're trying to get away from the sound

Hey @microsoft.com It's slop. It will never not be slop. Happy Sunday.

Culture Crave 🍿@culturecrave.co

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella says people should move beyond calling AI 'slop' "We need to get beyond the arguments of slop vs sophistication and develop a new equilibrium ... that accounts for humans being equipped with these new cognitive amplifier tools as we relate to each other"

Is @microsoft.com here? How do you screw up an OS this badly? My laptop just forced the upgrade to 11 and now my flight simulators crash constantly and Firefox won't even load. Well done, everyone. You remain the best advertisement Linux has ever had.

Many reboots later and Firefox seems to be working again. Someone needs to explain with very small words why you keep doing ... this. When you make something that works, LEAVE IT ALONE

i will never vote for Gavin Newsom. i want every other politician to look at how badly Newsom destroyed his own political career by pivoting to fascism & see it as a clear warning that the dignity of marginalized people is not negotiable.

Person 1: Tell me you're not an engineer without actually saying it. Person 2: *makes and maintains eye contact* Person 1: *visibly shaking* OKAY! OKAY!! AAHHH STAAAAAAP

*Ghostbusters music* Who you gonna call? NOBODY I am an introvert. Ghosts haunting the house are the most efficient way I've found to make friends. Move along, we're good here.

Important note - it's not about how fast you respond to things, it's about who you target. Fair and equitable enforcement that is just slow would get a different response from your users.

Right now, we’re a small team with a growing backlog. The slower we get, the more people wonder why decisions aren’t being made in real time — but with human review and millions of posts, that’s simply not possible. 3/9

IF YOU CAN'T HANDLE ME AT MY WORST THEN I'M SORRY THAT MY BEHAVIOR CAUSED YOU DISTRESS, I WILL REFLECT ON THE IMPACT MY ACTIONS HAVE ON OTHERS AND TRY TO IMPROVE MYSELF. THANK YOU FOR BEING MY FRIEND.

"it might be conscious but unable to express it! You can't know." O-kay... That sounds like you are trying to argue for existence of a soul. Why have you never argued this for animals or other objects that didn't have multibillion dollar marketing campaigns?

Come on @microsoft.com, how do you fuck up screenshot? I had to download an app to take screenshot because of course, and then the app doesnt even work. Why do you consistently make make your product worse with every release? I gotta see if our IT guys will let me run Linux, this is just stupid.

Still trying to process how, no matter how stupid or insane or cruel the order, there is always a person that will carry it out. Someone pulled that trigger. Someone pressed that button. Technology will never hide the fact that a distressingly large amount of people are just absolute monsters.

Journalists: Here's a thought. Start reporting the cost of things in terms of multiples of how much it would take to end world hunger. Call the unit the "World Hunger" (WH). A couple years back we learned that this would cost somewhere around $6bn if I remember correctly. $12bn is 2 WH's, etc.

I just misread someone's job title of "Solutions Consultant" as "Solutions Insultant" and I think I may have just unlocked a new career choice. "Here's my solution." "Yeah, well it sucks. Try again." I could do this.

Me: *doin' a thing* Pandora: *plays The Trees (Rush, 1978)* Me: *Wow, the 70's were a weird time. A huge band could just write a song about trees and it goes big.* *keeps listening* This isn't a song about trees at all, is it?

Figure out how to get this guy on all the ballots, please All of them

Pritzker: Over the last four years, we have seen homicides drop in half. That’s something the President should pay attention to. I know he doesn’t read but I know he watches TV so perhaps if someone from Fox or Newsmax is here

*hits blunt* The existence of the Solar Plexus implies the existence of other Plexus...es How are we okay with potentially a whole group of these things running around doing nonsense We dont even know how many there are!

Have new thought, post, re-read, delete because it didnt come across right, start re-writing, suddenly it doesnt seem as important, delete draft, have new thought, post, re-read...
