@la_dorkout I wonder if the big archway things at PCH/Newport Coast Drive in OC are modeled after this entry? I'd never seen the Bel Air pic but instantly thought of Newport. https://t.co/XEHS63lAP3

@binarybits genuine question: how does *society* get richer? won't corp execs, etc., keep the entire 'windfall' from elimination of jobs (rather than help pay for UBI/etc.), leading to worse inequality? I don't get how $ would be distributed, absent legislation (which wd never pass).

@CruelPhilosophr i struggle with this as a gen Xer who made it through 30-odd years of life without near-constant screen use. annoyed/disappointed that i'm now sucked in like everyone else, but so hard to quit

Human beings are called to be co-workers in the work of creation, not merely passive consumers of content generated by artificial technology. Our dignity lies in our ability to reflect, choose freely, love unconditionally, and enter into authentic relationships with others. Recognizing and safeguarding what characterizes the human person and guarantees their balanced growth is essential for establishing an adequate framework to manage the consequences of artificial intelligence.

@JamesQueallyLAT thank you, I was wondering what the number/percent increase looked like after subtracting cases that went away (charges dropped/acquittal/etc.)

@besttrousers most relevant item from chatGPT: lawmakers’ rationale: to restore balance, ensure that employers share more of the cost of unemployment benefits, and link employer contributions to the experience rating (i.e., employers who cause more claims pay more).

[Alicia Robinson @ARobWriter]

@besttrousers FWIW, chatGPT says UI tax rate changes in that bill weren't industry-specific, but state policies may have had disparate impacts (1/2)
