Hey nerds - I want to build a simple (contact info, logo graphic, about, maybe a blog eventually, maybe a gallery of images eventually) website for a domain already registered. Are there any minority or women owned solutions out there? I'm afraid of selecting a webpage solution and finding out it's run by dude bro vampires.

Hello world

JillProbably not the most value-add mode of defiance that I could do today in Minnesota, but attending a professional women's sports event seems ok.
After this moment of silence, the crowd screamed "FUCK ICE" so we got that going for us.

@cstross Annalee Newitz had a vaguely similar theme in Future of Another Timeline - time travel novel of feminists and anti-feminists battling to define the timeline. Very much looking forward to reading what you described.

"Hey ChatGPT, I want a new TV. I heard that LG TVs are good. Which LG TV is the best?"
"Good choice! You are absolutely right that LG TVs are a popular choice. But have you heard about [brand] TVs? [brand] TVs are [advertisement here]. Do you want me to show you where you can get a good deal on the [brand] XY-1234?"
This is the future.
ChatGPT will soon generate answers that have advertisements woven into them. What ChatGPT will tell you will be influenced by which company paid OpenAI the most.
I wonder how many people won't be bothered by that at all and continue to use ChatGPT, just as many people (boomers mostly) aren't bothered by advertisement breaks when watching cable TV and continue to find excuses for using the product.

OpenAI is still struggling to make profits off of this crappy technology. And that after announcing an "erotic chat mode", making ChatGPT "more horny". In a last effort to prevent the AI bubble from inevitably bursting, OpenAI is turning to the only reliable profit model they know: enshittifying products with ads. The LLM technology is a dying techology, similar to how nobody hears of 2021's NFTs anymore. Maybe the AI bubble won't burst in 2026 just yet, if enough naive people keep using ChatGPT so that the new ad revenue can keep OpenAI afloat for a little while longer. But the bubble will burst. Businesses betting on this technology, in 2026, isn't an intelligent move, to say the least. If your employer is fully committed to the AI hype, consider looking for a new job … while you still receive a salary and can take the job search more casually.
