I've said before that sales tactics are part of rape culture and often the same non consensual techniques used by pick up artists, but I have to admit I didn't think an LLM would distill that quite so perfectly.

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful
If you belong to a faith tradition that practices communion, these are good, actually, for all kinds of accessibility reasons. Single, non-alcoholic sacrament for home/hospital/prison visits, to give to sober people if the rest are drinking wine, extra sanitary for immune compromised, etc.
mr pussy (prison arc)@nat.haus · 7d agoapparently Walmart sells Holy Communion? that makes it so much easier!! you can skip all the boring parts and go right to the good stuff

I love when these kind of decisions get the praise they deserve.
Robert Evans (the Only Robert Evans)@iwriteok.bsky.social · last wk.I'm weirdly happy People decided to publish this article. this lady got very close to the peak and decided to turn back because she wasn't totally confident in her technical ability.

I don't think they were better. We just didn't have access to every brain fart they produced via social media.
GOLIKEHELLMACHINE@golikehellmachine.com · 3w ago“why are these ultra wealthy people so much worse than their predecessors” is a question people will be trying to answer for a long time, but i think part of it is that they’re fundamentally contemptuous of humanity in a way that the men who built railroads or oil empires were not

Mary Robinette Kowal@maryrobinettekowal.com · 3w agoThere may be a problem. I think Elsie can vote for the Hugos. It's like this, she's going to be on programing, so I registered her for Worldcon. As an attending child. She's 8. (They didn't require that, fyi.) Then I looked at the WSFS constitution. It doesn't say anything about being human.

Tal Lavin@swordsjew.bsky.social · 3w agoone thing about writing an entire book about sandwiches is my brain is just full of random facts now. coffee plants were forcibly introduced to java by the dutch. tuna fishes have extraordinarily high lung capacity. barbecue was a status symbol denoting slave ownership in the antebellum south
So. Lindsey Graham lived his life as a cautionary tale of internalized homophobia. I'd have sympathy for a man of his age and upbringing if he hadn't used his political power to harm so many of us. I'll be surprised if stories with lurid details don't break into the mainstream media in the next few
