No one ever said, "Oh, great, they replaced their customer service department with AI chatbots!" My teenager and her friends use "That's so AI" as a shorthand for "That's low-effort shit."

It is so mentally corrosive to try to ascertain, every day, whether the images I am seeing or the texts I am getting or the phone calls I am receiving are real - produced by a human who is trying to communicate something with me, even indirectly. It makes me feel insane and paranoid all the time

Greg is doing real heroes work here. He doesn’t just write about it!
Hey, @mayor.nyc.gov @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social, thank you for the PARTIAL ban on "A.i." in the public schools!

But let's please CLOSE these big LOOPHOLES in the policy that still allow "A.i." to be inflicted on kids!

Meh.

My rule going forward is to listen only to AI takes that don't anthropomorphize AI.

Money that comes into the United States government is government revenue. It is part of the public fisc. There's not "taxpayer money" and then "extra bonus money outside the rules." It's all taxpayer money. And spending *any* of it requires Congressional authorization.

One of the cooler things about working at @epi.org is that it’s full of really smart people who thoroughly understand nuanced data and can explain it with clarity.
Today's #jobs data can be considered a solid bounce back to relative weakness in June and July. Job growth has averaged 71k over the last 3 months. Weaker numbers for leisure and hospitality and unusual July losses in local government education employment seems to have resolved in August.

Well. The old addage just keeps proving itself to be true. Comics will break your heart. In more ways than you ever thought possible.

I’ve worked in comics for a long time. So this is with the benefit of hindsight, but I think comic book publishers going all-in on optimizing print-to-digital distribution for phones, with some sort of panel view, was a massive strategic mistake that ultimately set the publishers back by years.

Actually crazy that the administration has boiled their brains with right-wing propaganda, social media, & AI slop, dismantled agencies with expertise that didn’t match the online discourse, and are now incapable of functioning other than shithead rage & insults as realty doesn’t match their posts.
Trump officials now admit his team failed to grasp Iran's rulers and were too confident in surrender, per Politico. But as @atabatabai.bsky.social notes on the pod, he gutted civil service/diplomatic corps, making this sort of failure more likely!

Doomsday looks boring.

Thanos’ story worked as an overarching threat because it was seeded into other stories, slowly revealed, until became THE story, in a classic Levitz Paradigm way, with A, B, & C plots overlapping.

It’s one of the best methods of serialized superhero comic book storytelling!
