What a vibe!

Forget Lovecraft, I want this short story

Sounds great, honestly, especially when it’s grilled relatively dark on the outside.

I feel like milkman milk is not gonna taste quite the same as cow milk.

This is gorgeous and I love it. Before, I realized the tarot theme, I thought this was gonna be some cat bondage joke. Exchange word in italics against cutesy synonym.

Ouch, this one hits close to home.

And that’s why the rise of AI should come with a drastic rise of copyleft: These agents have mainly become so good, because they were trained, legally and illegally, on the collected output of humanity over the past decades. They must not be proprietary.

Money. Criminals and immoral people pay good money to show these ads. At least for Facebook, a court case regarding identity fraud has established that they knew quite well which ads were fishy, so they just charged those advertisers more. If I remember correctly, that amounted to about 10% of Facebook’s revenue. It will be a similar case for Google, I assume. Sketchy ads pay too well to remove all of them and laws make it so the platform is only liable if they don’t take it down after receiving notice of every single sketchy ad. Google, Facebook, and the others are all well near monopoly and built deep moats, so they don’t really have to fear losing customers, because there’s no simple alternative.

Are you trying to doxx me?! gasp

You see, that’s why OP always carries a second phone: To photograph the first one not falling into the gutter
