So we can now write emails using AI and have incoming emails summarised by using AI. Just how fucking lazy do we want people to be?! It's almost like we want forthcoming generations to be illiterate.

Quick! ChatGPT is down send a litmus test to all your coworkers to see if they actually know anything.

Hello EU people:

There is an EU citizen petition to ban the use of "conversion therapy" on LGBTQ+ folks (i.e., trying to de-LGBTQ us— a process often described as "torture"). If you're interested, you can sign it here:

https://eci.ec.europa.eu/043/public/#/screen/home

Please especially take note if you are a national of Spain, Slovenia, Belgium, or the Netherlands; the petition needs about 5x as many votes as it has now, but also needs to hit a threshold in four additional countries, and those are the four closest.

Cute

If the federal government is not following the law, maybe it's time for states to pass laws ordering companies and individuals to no longer remit taxes to the IRS and just do things at a state level.

Someone should build an open-all-seasons hunting park somewhere. Fill it with lions, cheetahs, elephants, etc. And then airdrop some naked, unarmed humans in for the animals to hunt.

Something said by a conservative acquaintance: “Making the Palestinians leave Gaza isn’t genocide, it’s basically the same thing we did when we put the Native Americans on reservations”

Sometimes you just have to take your best guess at which end to boop, and keep your fingers crossed that you get it right 😬

@notjustbikes Just had a thought. Self-driving car software like Tesla's recognize speed limit signs via the car's camera array and adjust their speeds accordingly (+10 KM/H because hey laws are just a suggestion, right?). As autonomous cars become common what if cyclists started wearing jackets with a 20 KM/H speed limit sign printed on the backside? Alternatively print a large orange construction cone on the back since a car is unlikely to give a cyclist space but they are scared of cones.
