read online that someone set-up a premium rate phone number where callers get charged $3.99/ min. then they posted flyers in their neighborhood that said "call this number to report illegal aliens," but the number just puts them on hold with music. so far, they've made $17,000

A necessary watch and a groundbreaking video by @taylorlorenz.bsky.social that’s being shadowbanned by YT. I hope other platforms won’t be so complicit in hiding a genOcide

My new theory is “ChatGPT psychosis“ is exactly what we’ve done to rich people, and royalty before them: thoughtlessly indulged their worst desires and beliefs in an attempt to make them happy, thus creating entitled beings detached from reality.

By 2030, 1 in 4 women in developed countries will remain childfree.
Up to 45% will be single by choice.
Society will frame this as a crisis.
Governments will panic over birth rates.
This is about choice though…
It's about women walking away from the roles that kept men comfortable and powerful.

The only writing advice I stand by across the board is that you should read widely, read good writers attentively, take pleasure in their use of language-the rhythms, the imagery, the clarity, conviction, beauty, insight, whatever it is each has to offer. You have to feel the language in some way.
Writing advice tends to destroy the village in order to save it. Decades ago, someone overused adverbs and someone else got annoyed, and now we have generations trained not to use an entire part of the English language.
There's only one rule - don't do it shitty. The rest is mostly bed-wetting.

For anyone wondering -
Largely it takes seven to eight times more energy (basically electricity) to train AI and furthermore an AI search like a ChatGPT requires five times more energy than a normal web search.
