not saying it can't get worse but this week really feels like a straightforward depiction of what worst-case 'post truth' information apocalypse ppl were warning of in the late 2010s

"…and Magda Goebbels made a great strudel.”

Every. Single. Story. about women not using AI as much as men portray it as bad for their future career prospects (without a shred of evidence) and a result of women being fearful little ladies rather than looking at AI's output and saying "this sucks, it's not going to help me."

For women, the increase of AI use in the workplace may affect their careers: Harvard study

Women are using AI significantly less then men and it’s going to have a major impact on their careers, according to extensive research on the topic.

it's hard to imagine a really cool guy who listens to joe rogan. like a guy who you would feel safe alone in the same room with, that listens to the joe rogan's podcast. like, hear me out, a really cool and safe-to-be-around guy who regularly listens to the joe rogan experience. no such guy.

you’re fired. wait you’re rehired. email us a list of things you’ve done today wait forget it you’re fired again. come back your job was important. you’re fired. or hired. come in to the office. wait the office has no computers go home. we are the department of government efficiency.

Into this vibe

“I'd like argue that my profound disgust is borne of a great love of technology, and a deep awareness of the positive effects it's had on my life. I do not turn on my computer every day wanting to be annoyed.” (Article also has a solid dig at Teams, the absolute worst)

Newsletter: The tech industry has turned on the consumer, using abusive, manipulative software as a means of extracting wealth from every corner of our lives. Both society and the tech media must fight back, as I believe many of us deeply love our tech. www.wheresyoured.at/what-were-fighting-for/

Being entertained by Ben Stiller responding to unsuspecting people who talk about Severance Who said comedy is dead

I don't want to tell Ben Stiller his job, but if he wants us to watch the bonus Severance features it'd be worth putting them *before* Apple TV has lurched off to a completely different programme three seconds after the credits start

Seems fitting for my first post here.

Well i got like 100 scam DMs today. Thats pretty good. It could have been 200 or 1000. I guess theres no way to make this happen less often. The devs are doing their best. Its basically impossible to program a computer to do any thing
