Lol this is barely even an article or an insight into the behavior of a generation, it's a puff piece about a product manager at Microsoft (a company that had hinged its future on AI acceptance) who also has their own AI startup. A couple paragraphs with 3 key takeaways at the bottom. Embarrassing

Gen Z isn't just learning about AI — they're learning how to use it to become more productive, employable and potentially earn more reut.rs/3Tut8UK

This was the big weakness with third wave type viewpoints; undue focus on the fact that the person making the choice is a woman, and leaving all other social and economic pressures and knock-on effects out and only considering the aspect of a woman having agency in a situation...

Society will progress when, and only when, we accept that the problem here is gambling adverts, not her being nude

WRT trans folks being so angry at Dems, feel like a lot of libs are missing the context that we saw Dems completely cave to or even enable the Republican corruption of the organic wellspring of "black lives matter" esque support after George Floyd--a public concern that helped them win in 2020...

Talarico out there swinging like a colostomy bag, splashing his shit all over the floor when pressed to speak on a Republican hobbyhorse talking point, and people on here genuinely incredulous "how could he fuck up this bad" as though this hasn't been standard Dem operating procedure for decades.

The other day I asked ChatGPT how to operate a Federal Formscan 6100 instrument. It said it couldn't find a copy of the instructions and proceeded to give me general operational steps for that class of instrument... ...which, cuz of the "scan" in the name, it interpreted to be a document scanner.

This is the crux of the debate, right? Whether it's doing mimicry or reasoning. I struggle to see how you could view it as purely mimicry. It has to tie together multiple novel thoughts in a logical construction to create its responses.

some heroes wear plaid, this man is a hell of an ally, turned the perv’s approach of bothering people in public right back on him while allowing the girl to get a clean exit

The cuts to bus service will get worse without bold leadership from the Oregon Legislature next session. Will we restore and expand public transit? Or will we continue to give billions of dollars to ODOT for their costly, polluting freeway expansions? www.wweek.com/news/2026/08...

‘Historic’ Service Cuts Are Now Arriving for TriMet Riders

The service reductions were first announced in January, as a state transportation funding package crumbled in the face of a Republican-led grassroots revolt.

Listen I just think it's curious that Shoenbrun would rather cast a talentless hack nepobaby (who has secured an HBO comedy special and HBO steaming show purely based on connections) in a lead role in one of her films vs an unknown trans-woman actress--which would be a first for her surprisingly.

Got blocked by someone whose opinions I found a lot of insight in because I couldn't resist calling Hannah Einbinder a nepobaby (which she absolutely is in the worst possible way). Clearly this is because the world is hostile to trans people who are outspoken and have opinions!

Also what the fuck is this sentence “Jeremy Moss and Abdul El-Sayed are young, diverse progressive millennials”. That is two people. Two people cannot be “diverse” that’s not what that MEANS

Jamie Dunphy saying he's gonna vote no for any amendment to the Moda center term sheet due to what amounts to his deeply held fee fees is so transparently slimy and hilarious. What an absolute joke.

Of course the white guy who owns Por Que No thinks that renovating the Moda center and licking billionare spats is essential to restoring the Albina area.
