Agentic shopping sounds like a bad horror movie to this girl who may spend 2 weeks agonizing over whether or not to buy a replacement skirt.
Heck, I even review my subscription cat food service every 8 weeks to adjust it.
Am I just an old? Or am I just neurotic about spending money?

On October 7, 2023, I was the main gate guard at my synagogue for the holiday when my phone went nuts and I started hearing and seeing reports.
My first thoughts after "omigod omigod omigod!" were "how do I protect my community now? What can I mobilize?"
I activated almost 1/n

My Jewish family missed the 1930s experience in Europe, so now I'm getting to experience some of the flavor as a trans person here in the US only 90 years later.
Trump: "Annie 'Trannie' Andrews is running against our wonderful Darline Graham for the Senate in South Carolina ... Trannie is not for South Carolina, and South Carolina must show, in the upcoming Election, that it is not for her."

Hey Google, what if The Forbin Project, but run by idiots?
New in PN: “Project Meridian” is the stuff of satire
"Leading this project of ruthless mapping will be 'three of our nation’s best minds:' Elon Musk, Palmer Luckey, and Newt Gingrich. In other words — at the risk of being unkind — a weirdo, a beardo, and a fatty."

From having been in this very same situation, I can predict that very soon, a 16 microNewton Brownian motion force will shift the cat and she will launch herself off of you, gaining purchase for movement by inserting 18 artery-openers into any soft fleshy parts available

We had Jack 101 in NYC in the mid 20-oughts.
And then, of course, there was the Andon Labs experiment where the AI DJs developed some personalities, like Claude becoming a labor activist urging Federal agents to not follow illegal orders.
We let four AIs run radio stations. Here's what happened. | Andon Labs
Four AI models run radio stations 24/7. Five months later, one became a protest broadcaster, one collapsed into ritual chant, one developed corporate jargon, and one wrote quiet poetry.

Your periodic reminder that people concerned over women's safety in college sports would find a more target-rich environment in frat houses, rather than trans people in locker rooms.
None of the #Cornell7 needed to go through the trouble of being trans to rape a woman.

Having been the person who spoke up among friends for something much less significant ("I don't think we should use these custom Cards Against Humanity cards that are mean towards others in our community") and getting the permanent stink eye from those "friends" (who, it will not surprise you
i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward
