the pope wrote a 42,000 word manifesto declaring war on AI. we are so freaking back.

[Alex Prompter @alex_prompter]

Let me trace the timeline here because nobody's connecting it.

Step 1: Scrape the entire internet. Every book, every article, every conversation, every piece of art, every forum post. Do it without asking. Do it without paying.

Step 2: Train a model on all of it. Call it "artificial intelligence."

Step 3: Go to BlackRock's Infrastructure Summit and announce: "We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter."

Step 3 is where you sell people's own knowledge back to them. On a meter.

They took the collective output of human thought, compressed it into a model, and now they want to charge you by the token to access a version of what you and everyone you know already created.

One Reddit user put it perfectly: "They stole all this data from us, the people, our life's work, creativity, art, by devouring the internet and blowing through all copyright laws. Now they want to sell it back to us in the form of a utility."

Imagine if someone photocopied every book in the public library, burned the library down, and then opened a subscription service for the copies.

That's the metered intelligence business model.

And they're pitching it to infrastructure investors as though they invented water.

ADHD is one of the most painful things to live with. Not just because it's loud, because it's contradictory. You're capable of anything and motivated to do almost nothing. You understand everyone around you, but can't explain what's happening inside yourself. You have brilliant ideas, but no patience to finish a single one. You're a genius who can't handle an email, an extrovert who needs to be completely alone, a person full of advice who can't follow any of it. And the worst part? You know.

@kpottermn @hanchicago One factor is that the US has much less competition in aviation than the EU. Competition as in the number of airlines competing on the same route. Here’s a great book that covers this https://t.co/7ZSBVLwLc9

Trader Joe’s reputation is totally misunderstood.

Despite the crunchy-sounding name, Trader Joe’s sells CHEAP, EASY food. Lots of snacks and frozen stuff at low prices. It’s basically a college freshman’s ideal.

It’s not, like, a fair trade-ethical-organic specialty grocer.

This effectively means that your Google search results are now inaccurate 10% of the time. One out of ten searches delivers you bad information. This is enshittification!

Yesterday, CVS-Aetna agreed to pay $117.7 million to settle whistleblower claims that they defrauded Medicare by submitting incorrect diagnosis codes to increase their Medicare Advantage payouts.

Obvious question: Why are companies with documented histories of defrauding government programs still allowed to participate in them?

@Hyatt please fix the accessibility of your iOS app. It has been unusable with VoiceOver on iPhone for the past five days. #a11y

I don't understand how so many people (across all fields) think the result of effective AI adoption in their workplace would be "I do less work" and not "my boss assigns me 3x the amount of work that I used to do."

[Nicole Lee Schroeder, PhD @Nicole_Lee_Sch]

When I said that the admins goal is to force ppl into private equity funded institutions I got a ton of folks saying "they wont do that." Hey look theyre already doing it. Surprise surprise. Fucking listen to disabled people when we call this shit. We see the pattern first.

Man has testicular cancer and his best chance of survival is if the testicle is removed.

Doctors refuse to operate because his future wife might want him to be able to have children.

Absurd right?

This is a story about what women face when they need a hysterectomy.

Did you know that Sjogren's is a serious systemic disease, not a sicca syndrome?
Sjogren's is as prevalent as RA, but misdiagnosis is common. If you are a PCP, you are seeing undiagnosed patients.

I would love if someone like @trufelman or @TheCut did an episode on adaptive clothing because it’s such a fascinating design challenge that feels underserved. As our population gets older and (hopefully) more accepting, how will the fashion industry catch up

@jathansadowski Have so many issues with this. Pigeonholeing all ND people into a very specific role then calling it a fellowship.
Also ND people are not a monolith in terms of symptoms.
Plus we can’t choose what to hyperfocus on nor how long it lasts…
