This video blew my mind. The official Microsoft YouTube channel unironically recommends that you make ChatGPT write all your job applications because "personalized emails are important to stand out", but "now you can do them at 10x speed".
Surely they realize that literally the only thing that makes "personalized messages" valuable is that you know someone took the time to write them and that if everyone makes AI do theirs we are just back to square one, no?

Absolutely insane story of a Ukranian girl getting her face cloned & deepfaked her into dozens of pro-russian fake digital influencers on Chinese social media.
I fear this flood of AI shit is truly going to break the internet

Every time I mentioned a Fairphone in a Friday Checkout we got great views. Clearly there is a lot of interest, so I got a review unit. What would you like to know about either the phone or the company behind it?

- Only a single new car model under $20k in the US.
- Average new car at $48000, average used at $27000, both up 30% since 2019
- Record loan deliquencies due to high prices & interest rates despite low unemployment rates
In other words a record number of debt slaves who can't afford their cars despite working full time jobs. What👏a👏system👏

Thought experiment:
Since paying for Blue actively ranks your Tweets above others it effectively works as paid advertising. If you let users hide their Blue badges does that mean you allow ads that aren't labelled as such?
