unfortunately this article is paywalled but its an excellent read so far. i attached some of my favorite and while funny, incredibly harrowing, moments of this piece. highly highly recommended to read
One of my favorite tech journalists is fielding messages about the effect AI has had on peoples' jobs. He recently wrote about Duolingo's shift to AI over humans, and it got enough feedback for him to start a whole new series on how this tech is creeping into every industry in damaging ways. Check out the link! (@TORTITUDE Your post got me thinking about this!)
seriously when did everyone get so mean. everywhere i look people are being mean, whether its being racist, homophobic, fatphobic, or catty and snarky. its especially bad on tiktok and instagram like do people not have empathy anymore??
i, like anyone else now, am incredibly attached to the little computer in my back pocket. however i can feel my mental health decreasing whenever i wake up and instantly go on instagram so iโve begun scrolling on pinterest instead. its still not a great habit but id rather be barraged by cool pictures than the toxins of instagram reels
something iโve been able to come to terms with lately is the fact that you really dont need closure. obviously this is more nuanced and dependent on the scenario than i make it sound, but what im talking about specifically is the idea of looking for an answer. like if i got ghosted by someone, i feel like trying to find a reason of why they may have ghosted me takes up more energy then just going โfuck it we ballโ and accepting that it was probably never going to work out. sometimes its just not worth it to torment yourself about the past.
