announcing this as Meta’s own AI agent keeps accidentally transferring ownership of high profile accounts to hackers is certainly a choice

is this average driven up by like five people who do helicopter tours or hunt rare animals because this isn't what it costs for most people to get dinner or go to a movie.

[Megan Menchaca @meganmmenchaca]

Editor of a major Ohio news organization says they have removed “writing” from certain reporters’ workloads.

That article is then reviewed by editors + reporters before publication.
