Because that’s the reading comprehension level of most readers these days.

Attorney General Pam Bondi denounced the protest […] saying […] that the scene was “horrific.”

Horrific? A protest? People shouting to get attention and be heard is horrific?

Tell me you’ve led the most privileged of lives without telling me. What a completely unrelatable train wreck. You’ve got conservatives who’ve seen combine accidents and IEDs and child soldiers — the true horrors of the world. Let’s see what their response is.

Crickets.

I see.

It’s not enough to foment insurrection in our country, now Trump is doing it in other countries, too???

Yeah, yeah. I know.

I rode in a Tesla last week. Some of the tech is better than what I’ve experienced in other vehicles. To be fair, a lot of the controls are way worse and key functions are buried in screens and menus that are difficult to find.

I’ll never own a Tesla, but I do hope the always on wireframe view of everything around you comes to other vehicles. It’s way easier to see pedestrians and cross traffic in a parking spot on that screen than it is the 360 camera view on our new Traverse which is only available in reverse and for a few seconds after shifting to forward.

users are presented with a clear choice between two paths

There is a third path. Just stop being a user. Maybe that choice isn’t clear enough. Push notifications are fucking evil. I removed the app and use FB as a PWA about once every six months. I might use it more if it had content from my friends or anyone I gave a fuck about, but instead it’s all promotions and suggestions.

Without the little red number creating FOMO on my phone, I have no impulse to check it. Yet I check Lemmy several times a day. I check Bluesky every couple of days. Because every time I open them, someone I want to hear from is posting something I want to see. You should try that, Zuck.

Not sure I like that this headline / research seems to frame the issue as a PR problem. I don’t want to be filled with a bunch of AI slop to try to convince me that AI is not a threat to my job. I think overall I have a pretty balanced view of AI — though how many of us realize when we are unhinged — but I think it’ll eventually settle into a tool which increases efficiency, slightly reduces jobs in certain sectors just like the farm combine did, and not a lot will change overall.

The thing negatively influencing my faith in democracy is so many of the people of the world voting for right-wing and autocratic parties. I feel like democracy has failed us in that respect. On the other hand I don’t know of a better solution. AI isn’t really involved there.

I wonder if there isn’t a more fundamental connection between people who observe the direction of the world and those who see that corporations are falling over themselves to eliminate workers and are deeply worried that they just might succeed to the detriment of all.

Deleted it. My wife then naturally sent me a DM of a thing asking if I could build it cheaper. Reinstalled to see the video, then deleted again.

There are a lot of content creators there I enjoyed but c’est la vie.
