I feel so much despair about my career lately. I’m so tired of putting things out there and getting nothing back. I don’t know how much longer I can make myself try

Maybe the data center boom is a little less about ai than it is about where they’re storing bajillions of hours of recorded conversations (to then feed to ai)
Apple announces 'Live Rewind' for the new Apple Watch, letting users pull up the last 15 seconds of nearby conversation.

Voting for a candidate who does not defend bodily autonomy or self determination is not voting dem btw
I get it. That’s the hill you want to die on. We all have one. So I recommend that if you can’t vote Dem, have a seat. Stay home. Because voting the other way makes zero sense at all.

Whenever I visit home there comes a point where I think man I love California I should move back, and then I have a horrifying experience on the road and I’m reminded why I can’t handle it. Drivers are psychotic any more dude, it’s so scary out there
