"Do AI enthusiasts not understand—" yes, generally, they do not understand! They are devotedly stupid.

Sports gambling should be legal but you should have to go to an actual building to do it and it should be so off-putting and sad you’ll never want to do it again

I have a million thoughts on this but Nina is wrestling here with a generational shift where people are increasingly looks to art for moral affirmation and that is a tricky place to be!

when it's on hold for the next semester also - man, c'mon, really? plural semesters hold? take your notes and return it ffs

I’m no expert but I think bombing cities is always wrong because you can’t control who they kill after you drop them and once someone is killed they die forever. Just my 2 cents

it's 27C in mid March

i am a lizard who likes hot temps but like, what the hell man, March is not normally a shorts-weather month

hot take: quit making live-action remakes of animated films. it's not a different medium translation! you're just restyling another film!

The best time to stop using Grammarly was years ago. The second best time is right now
