This is a really good post especially because it doesnβt just fall into the βAI is badβ trap (while correctly hitting on a lot of the problems) but points out that a combo of AI, Reddit and Martin Lewis has basically broken demand management via friction.

I think they really⦠found the most charismatic man on the planet and made him mayor?
"I'm supposed to be a tough guy," Curtis confided. "I can hold your hand," the mayor offered "What happens if I faint?" Sliwa asked. "I've got you," Mamdani assured him, grabbing his hand as Sliwa received his flu shot. abc7ny.com/post/nyc-may...

I'm sorry but "I don't believe Helen Keller existed. There's just no way she actually flew that plane." is perhaps the best 1st date icebreaker of all time...

SUPER excited for this, after a year of chasing the angle, 30 minutes of waddling around up and down a parking garage, and over 6 hours of editing: A murder of crows flies towards the camera, in front of the full Moon, set to Blind Guardian's "Nightfall" and the sound of the crows themselves. πͺΆ π¦ββ¬
My top 4 Crow Full Moon shots tonight. P L E N T Y of video to edit someday! πͺΆ π¦ββ¬
