I lost the battle with the final boss in the game, the American healthcare system. Sub-bosses from other systems weakened me.

Social media, in general, is toxic. Also, humans are addicted to drama. Bluesky is relatively drama-free, so drama junkies need their fix in the form of screenshots, so they go back to X for their fix.

Uber-nerdy AI developers seek revenge on the people who tease them, bully them, and leave them out of group events like watching movies. CEOs want cheap labor and don’t want to fuss about dealing with the artists. Sadly, These two groups have combined forces.

AI detectors lag behind due to the separation of AI detection from AI development. Many AI companies do not want AI detectors policing their work. Since AI detectors are not fully developed, there will be a lot of false positives on human written work.

OpenAI is using Apple to improve its reputation. OpenAI probably has enough people to pull off what they’re trying to do, but many users don’t trust OpenAI right now and their software developers hate Sam Altman.

AI was sold on the Star Trek fantasy, but you must constantly train it. The software was never ready for commercial use. CEOs like it because they think it’s cheap labor. Once AI's novelty dies down, we could assess if this is a valuable tool.

is learning about the business side of writing. It will be interesting since the feds are changing the rules on Medicare and when they start taxing you. Oh, and they are thinking about raising the retirement age, too.

It's disheartening to witness how politicians and citizens in the United States are still overlooking mental illness. We need to start acknowledging and addressing this issue with sincerity and empathy.

The inventor of ChatGPT deliberately out that you have to train the AI before leaving it to do the task. AI can write a shitty first draft, but these CEOs seem to be OK using a shitty first draft. AI doesn’t have the creativity or flexibility to think beyond the shitty first draft.

Managers with poor skills are not known for their intelligence, but they do love having power and control. They manipulate situations to force skilled workers to help them cover management mistakes. I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re begging their experienced workers to return.

Managers with poor management skills love kids like that because they are easily manipulated. Seasoned employees are a threat to a manager with poor management skills.

Boeing's decision to replace experienced airplane mechanics with low-wage, inexperienced ones may have contributed to their planes falling from the sky. Just management trying to hide their poor management of the company.

Technically, open AI is still in beta version. Using a beta version of the software to handle their data is dangerous.

When navigating the US medical system, it's important to celebrate small victories, such as waiting on hold for less than 30 minutes, speaking to a real person, or not getting frustrated with the staff. I love the US healthcare system. /s

The inventors of generative AI and other AI products spent a lot of money on development, so they are trying to brainwash the public to recoup their money and generate a profit.

I didn't realize that God needed help to start Armageddon. I can understand why young people may not believe in God anymore, with Tim Wahlberg as an example of Christianity. I can see why they don’t believe in God.

I don’t know who made me this, but the Patient Access Network Foundation helps people pay for medications. Depending on what medication you have, they may have funding for it. You must fill out some paperwork, but it is worth a shot.

That is why you must keep accurate records. So, you can dispute if PayPal decides to extend the hold. Unfortunately, bad actors make it difficult for honest people to make money. Also, PayPal is not a bank and operates on different rules. You must keep accurate records.
