I use Copilot for generating images of concepts for presentations at work. It helps me get my point across and no accuracy is needed because it is taking the place of clip art and Google image searches. There is absolutely a place for Generative AI in the workplace. Whether it is worth the cost and whether people are trusting it too much is another question.

I’ve heard that they eat more grains if the rice is uncooked and uncooked rice expands in their stomachs causing pain and other problems. Cooked rice is already expanded so they won’t overeat

On the tv airing of “How to Lose Your Guy in 10 Days,” they have a scene where they are playing a bluffing card game call “Bullshit” where you can call bullshit on people who you think are bluffing. They replaced the word “shit” with “spit” so everyone is shouting “bull spit” at each other. I found this to be so ridiculously lame that it made it kind of funny.

If research is funded by tax dollars, then it should absolutely be free for everyone to have access to.

I’m not sure how I feel about private research being required to be free to all (does it disencentivize research to let everyone learn from what you paid to learn?). Either way, if the tax payer pays for something, they deserve free access to learn from it.

Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good. Yes, this isn’t the best way to harm Amazon, but small, targeted boycotts can drive change. And I bet, if you try living without Amazon for a week, you’ll find replacements and it’ll be easier to move away from them long-term

Not necessarily. The employees of airlines have been quite impactful with partial, random strikes in a method called CHOAS. Not everyone will strike at the same time and their strikes only last a few hours- enough to cause problems for the flight they’ve been scheduled on. This hurts the company without harming too many customers and has been effective in the past as a strike strategy.

Think of a partial strike as a warning that more could follow if demands aren’t meet.
