AI is turning copy into horrible text walls

@unusual_whales He's damaging his future personal political capital with this shilling.

@unusual_whales Why not throw in New York and New England while were at it?

Just do a search and replace for every name that originates from another country and fill in America.

@LoganGrafTax Regressive tax for the loss

[Austin Johnson @AustinAI]

@MattWalshBlog Social Security isn't a pension, it is insurance. Specifically, it is "Old Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance".

You do not "pay into Social Security" anymore than you "pay into" your auto or health insurance.

Social security is actuarially insolvent insurance.

JUST IN: 🇺🇸 US boomers overwhelmingly support higher taxes on younger workers to maintain current Social Security benefits, poll shows.

@AnonPrion @MattWalshBlog Social Security is not a pension.

Why horizontal tabs?

Vertical is navigation. Organizational. Hierarchical. A tree. It's "history". You don't need it on screen all the time.

Horizontal is the working set. The threads that are live. Always visible. Give it icons, colors, status. Context at a glance.

In apps like ChatGPT, Claude Code or T3 Code, horizontal space is expensive. Tabs at the top let you tuck away the sidebar and leave more room for the right panel: preview, browser, code view.

And you still see what's running, what's done, what needs your input.

@AgroNationalism I think this is actually the true intent of the ad - it is targeting a generational divide rather than a left right divide.

@Josh_Christiane I suppose we should count ourselves lucky 😂

"Super Intelligence"? Couldn't he at least stick to the naming convention and go with "American Intelligence" so we can keep the acronym?

[Austin Johnson @AustinAI]

@WatcherGuru Couldn't he at least stick to the re-naming convention and go with "American Intelligence" so we can keep the acronym?

If your primary productivity tool is email, you are the most vulnerable to AI replacement in your job.
