The way we killed NFTs by not using them or buying into the hype, I feel like we could've done the same with AI. But people are lazy. They don't want to learn new skills. And now AI is more common than it ever should've been and killing the planet at a fast rate.
why does no one care about the fact that we’re projected to run out of clean drinking water by 2039 because of how much water ai data centers use please stop using chatgpt y’all, i beg. you do not need a shitty looking cartoon of yourself, i promise. the planet is dying.
Hey @BBCNews , got a story for you!
About 11 reform new councillors have stepped down or been expelled already!
It will cost a lot to elect new ones. How about running that as a story, just for a smidgen of impartiality?
When you see the relentless attacks from other parties on the Greens across the media remember this:
They hate our plan to end Rip Off Britain.
They don't want a wealth tax.
They don't want public ownership & lower bills.
They're trying everything in their power to stop us.
"GEN Z IS NOT DRINKING"
"GEN Z IS CELIBATE"
"GEN Z DOESN'T..."
When GEN Z was completing studies, there was COVID.
When GEN Z started job hunting, AI took over.
When GEN Z wanted to travel, a world war started out of nowhere.
The World Health Organization has announced that we will start running out of clean water (drinking, showering, laundry, dishes) in the next FEW YEARS. We are officially entering water bankruptcy. This is a direct result of AI. Please stop using it now.
Sorry to go on about Taylor Swift, but I keep seeing "Let your daughter be an Erika Kirk, not a Taylor Swift.
Fuck that!
Here's a little about Taylor Swift.
She is GENEROUS.
She gave her crew for the Eras Tour 10% of the revenue. That's $197 million.
She donated enough money at EVERY venue to top off food banks for a year.
She gives money to random GoFundMes. She gave $100,000 to the family of a fire fighter who died.
She gave another $100,000 to a toddler who had cancer.
She gave away well over $200 million last year alone. And that's just what we KNOW about.
She is KIND.
She identifies fans and each year, sends a set of them Christmas presents. She looks at their Social Media to figure out what they want and buys them hand-selected gifts.
Then she WRAPS THEM HERSELF and mails them packages.
When she gave her crew bonuses, she didn't just have her accountant take care of it. She gave each of them a hand-written, personalized note.
That shows a kind of humanity that is really touching. She doesn't see employees. She sees people. You can't fake that at the end. You have to take the time to notice people and appreciate them individually throughout the year, and there were over 100 of them.
That is quite a capacity to care. Can we honestly just appreciate how big of a heart that takes? To take moments every day to NOTICE things.
I once had a venue manager tell me that when she performed at their venue she went around and introduced herself to every one of them.
She is the only act they'd ever seen do that.
She is ACCOMPLISHED
She is already one of the most successful recording artists in history, and she's only 36.
I don't care if you like her music. Her fans do. She knows her audience.
I'm a 58-year-old Gen X dude. I'm not her target audience. I can live with not everything having to be made for me.
I'm a classic rock guy. I honestly don't even know what Swift's songs are. I don't feel the need to listen to her entire library to defend her though.
She's got the receipts.
Grammys, album sales, concerts, streams--any way you want to look at it, she is one of the tops ever with years ahead of her.
She is FIERCE
And in spite of all that, she took on the MUSIC INDUSTRY and WON!
She stood up for herself, she didn't back down.
I man, you have to really appreciate what it takes to do that--especially as a woman. She literally changed the industry.
I won't go into trying to belittle Erika Kirk. There's no point in that. If you find something in her to aspire to, go for it.
But that doesn't make Taylor less of a person.
If you have a daughter who has the character of Taylor--the generosity, the kindness, and the ferocity to stand up for herself against a titan and WIN, then you have one hell of a daughter, even if she never sells an album.
If you need to drag someone down to lift someone up, that says more about you than either of them.
