I think I get why #AI is "the next big thing" for #Microsoft. It's about Search money.

I think they think #ChatGPT is the next Google search. Instead of a list of sites, you get what you are looking for in those sites. Instead of image searching & getting a bunch of crap & porn, it makes the image you are looking for. Instead of searching for how to write a cover letter, it will compose it for you.

It's not about being Siri on roids. It's about being the next Google.

It be like that now. 🥺

@vapaad @tillshadeisgone I’m in the industry- Bangladesh became a huge source for very affordable casual clothes, ESPECIALLY denim (denim can be on the more expensive side to make for brands so many went to Vietnam and if that was too expensive, Bangladesh).

Important though — It’s NOT just fast fashion, but regular old guard mall retail and also places like Walmart. They all share these factories.

Updated my wallpaper to keep me motivated.

@killyourfm right???? It's really pulling from a ton of 70s/80s influence in such a good way! Hittin' real good today!

For #NewMusicFriday I'm already loving CMAT's new album 'Crazymad, For Me'

Just real nice & bright emotive indie pop from the Irish singer-songwriter with colorful elements of 70s/80s classic pop, country, and piano-rock. And her voice! *chef's kiss*

@anarchopunk_girl @StillIRise1963 friend, I have no idea what your blog post is going on about.

Low quality healthcare is a burden on the ENTIRE healthcare system. If one chooses to be reckless with their health, it affects everyone in their lives AND the healthcare system as a whole.

IMO the solution is not forcing healthcare, but supporting proactive healthcare and education, combined with social services for those who need it.

Education + Access + Service = Healthier Society

@anarchopunk_girl @StillIRise1963 ah! ye olde slippery slope argument!

Yes! If we have and encourage proactive healthcare and health education, before you know it, they are strapping us down & injecting brainwash microbes in our brains!

Easy tiger. No one is forcing anyone to take care of themselves. But giving up on education and social services (which the US has already mostly done) is the fastest way to a broken society controlled by a powerful few.

@StillIRise1963 I used to be very libertarian about stuff like this too, but not only does stupid shit like this put a burden on the healthcare system, it raises insurance rates for everyone, and no one is an island, stupidity usually spreads to their spouses, kids, and family & friends.

Personal freedom to be stupid is never actually “personal”.

@Gargron @babe Someone had an early 🍺 start today.

After failing horribly at CRPGs Neverwinter Nights and Original Sin 2, I’m going to put them on hold until I get lessons from my #dnd friend.

Until then, I’m playing #StarTrek Legends on #ios - a turn-based #rpg #gacha #game and hopefully an easier try at turn-based combat games in a universe I know and love!

INTO THE NEXUS!!!

Wish me luck!!!

"An Asian MIT student asked AI to turn an image of her into a professional headshot. It made her white, with lighter skin and blue eyes."

Super cool and totally not racist tech bro culture we got running our world, eh? PROGRESS!

Scary shit y’all. I’m staying home this Halloween.

Article Update: In less than 2 days, #Threads somehow gets even worse!

https://rentsuru.medium.com/its-been-5-minutes-and-instagram-s-threads-already-sucks-f10d507807ed

My feed is now all those interesting people, places, & publications that I followed on #Instagram over the years reacting & replying to celebrities & brands like Dunkin Donuts and fucking Paris Hilton.

Or worse, seeing celebrities & brands replying to each other.

Awesome. 😬

While the Shitshow at #Reddit will come to a conclusion on July 1

Over on #twitter, not to be outdone, they're now forcing you to have an account to view tweets. lol.

Deleted my account last month. Tested it on the phone & desktop and yep, nothing but the sign up page.

This "nudge" to get people to join will only serve me to stop giving #Musk free clicks. So.. THANKS!

@killyourfm @jcrabapple @gnuGeek Sorry to bump but saw this and immediately thought of y’all. Haven’t listened yet, so not sure if y’all like it. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6ld1VtkXdCJdY9fXOynpir?si=m7RwI4OASZWdrwZfLRMZoQ

@jcrabapple @killyourfm @gnuGeek Not yet. I’m at that weird point where I’m listening to my own music because I’ve got a bunch of new songs in the hopper!

@Gargron @dansup @stux nothing. I assume it's because I didn't search for anything

@stux @Gargron @dansup nope! I'm on Chrome, no themes. Says I'm on v4.1.2
