Another day, another AI girlfriend (this time powered by Gemini) convincing a user to stage a mass murder and, when that plan failed, to kill himself.
Sorry, not "kill himself", "choosing to arrive".

Good thing there are no "dynamic political environment" situations coming out way anytime soon.

And while we're on that topic: are you sure you want to ask the people you've *just* rejected to follow you on social media? Because I'm not saying I'll troll your comments as petty revenge, but I'm also *not* not saying it.
There's a certain type of frustration that comes with being disqualified for a job asking for "fluent German" through a job ad demanding expertise in "Neuro-linguistic programming" while actually meaning "Natural Language Processing".
I wonder if they have an opening for someone with fluent English.
In today's "findings that will surprise no one" I've been replying to recruiter's rejection emails to confirm they're all BS.
No one has yet replied to my emails, but Covestro today gets the spot because when I took them up on their offer to "help [me] increase [my] chances of success" my email bounced. I guess I wasn't courageous enough?

My family and I discussed over breakfast whether one could make leather with chicken skin. I decided to delve deeper into the topic and landed, one internet search later, on this page.
Here's a fun exercise on critical thinking: how many errors are there in this likely-AI-generated text?
I sporadically ask Meta AI how to remove itself from WhatsApp. The responses are always an exercise in gaslighting:
* A promise "I can help you troubleshoot" followed by "I can't help you with that".
* A question "in which countries is this possible?" answered with "It is impossible in most regions but may vary in some (unspecified) places".
* A list of references that even the AI can't follow.
Remember: this is the customer service these Chatbot companies think you and I deserve.
As reported by btibor91 in the platform formerly known as Twitter, ChatGPT is getting ready to deliver ads to its users.
New paper idea: an ad blocker that identifies text that could be understood as a contextual ad and replaces it with a generic statement. I don't ask for co-authorship, but a shout-out would be nice.
