Explanation: If not perfect, then this spiral galaxy is at least one of the most photogenic. An island universe containing billions of stars and situated about 40 million light-years away toward the constellation of the Dolphinfish (Dorado), NGC 1566 presents a gorgeous face-on view. Classified as a grand design spiral, NGC 1566 shows two prominent and graceful spiral arms that are traced by bright blue star clusters, red emission nebulas, and dark cosmic dust lanes. Numerous Hubble Space Telescope images of NGC 1566 have been taken to study star formation, supernovas, and the spiral's unusually active center. NGC 1566's flaring center makes the spiral one of the closest and brightest Seyfert galaxies, likely housing a central supermassive black hole wreaking havoc on surrounding stars and gas.

I suppose if you are being pressured to use AI at work, one thing you could do is send HR articles/studies on AI psychosis & ask "does [company name] accept liability for any mental harm that may occur from AI use?"

Before you touch any of the AI tools they want you to use, ask them to put in writing that the company is aware of the concerns about mental harm from AI use but is asking you to use it anyway. Ask to put a note in your employee file saying that you objected to using it.

A reminder that:
1. This hate is from Trump himself
2. It is approved by MAGA leadership
3. It is further enabled by general silence from Corporate Dems
4. It is designed to further dehumanize Muslims as the USA bombs 7 Muslim majority nations.

As an American Muslim fighting back against this hate and disinfo on a daily basis, I need and welcome your support to my human rights efforts:

“Karp’s message is loud and clear: My technology will take political capital away from one of your greatest enemies—liberal women with degrees—and give one of your favorite demographics to patronize—working-class men—more political power to transfer to you.”

These fucking women-hating weirdo assholes.

I used to think my nemesis was the finance bro. My mistake. It's the Tech Bro. Specifically, this kind.
