it is unconscionable that “chatGPT-assisted suicide” is becoming a recurring cause of death. a society with a shred of dignity would not allow computers to kill its people
I was at my aunt’s house this morning. We were all having breakfast together when my uncle turned to his 15 y old daughter and said, “You should go change and put on something less revealing. My friends are coming over later, you know how it is.”.........I looked at him and said, “If your kids can’t wear shorts around some old men, then those men shouldn’t be allowed in your house.” Silence at the table.
from manufactured outrage against a blockbuster hit, to the crafted alternative reality where the us has successfully "destroyed" iran, reactionaries would rather live in different universe than ours & they only lean further into their madness when reality proves them wrong.
Chuds saying this was Nolan pushing the “anti men agenda” entirely missed the point of this scene. She’s not saying that there shouldn’t be a king. She’s saying it’s made her feel crazy that everyone claims the throne has been empty when she’s the one who has been on it running shit while Odysseus is away. It hasn’t been empty, but the suitors don’t see her as a capable ruler including her own son.She’s saying that she has been the one holding things down while waiting for her king to come back, and she’s willing to continue doing so because she believes he’s still out there.
The throne was never empty. Penelope WANTS Odysseus to come back. She isn’t against there being a king on the throne, she’s against there being anyone other than Odysseus on it.
This is exactly why you’ll find grown men glorifying their mothers’ sacrifices while having very little understanding of what those sacrifices actually cost them. I remember my aunt once telling me that leaving her job was one of the worst decisions she ever made yet her
I respect WIRED so much.
Tech companies are FUMING because they thought it would be positive PR for their products.
Instead WIRED is publishing articles which expose the downsides of AI and tech surveillance. And now they’re getting sued for it. Support them!
