You’ve gotta use AI because it’s the future. But also it’ll take your job. But also it’ll create a paradise on earth and solve most of our problems. But also it’ll end humanity soon. But also you’ll get left behind if you don’t use it right now.

Bari Weiss's Free Press CBS is just worried that El-Sayed might be facing the risk of renewed scrutiny! He might be open to a fresh political attack! He might be criticized!
Not by *them*, silly. No, no, no.
By *other* people who might be coming forward with weird complaints.
Any day now.

Yo you posted this on the wrong social media platform. All we do is talk about how we're broken as hell over here. You're thinking of LinkedIn
On social media, a broad consensus is that you can’t admit to struggle — at least not while you’re struggling. Doing so represents a failure so profound it’s almost existential. How did it become mandatory to demonstrate perpetual growth and progress online?
Social Media’s Last Taboo
It’s okay to be every kind of person online — except struggling.
