It seems you have untangled it, so please don't keep us in the dark.

I immediately got the feeling this was AI generated, and sure enough 100% according to Pangram. Good thing his tutorials are dead I guess.

>> If it’s important, then make time for it. Indeed. Replace the sentence "I don't have time for this" with "This does not have priority for me." This will make it easier to decide if you are going to read your kids a bedtime story or if your going to finish that report.

"quite common in Europe" oh please. I live there, traveled quite a bit, and have never seen one or heard of one.

So, government regulation will lead to all bad things we see today in capitalism? But capitalism won't. This is not very sound logic.

I have a simple rule to decide when to add someone to my social network: if we met in real life, would we say hi to each other? No? Don't add.

I would expand this to "why most software notifications get skipped". Because they are in the interest of the vendor and get in my way! The amount of interruptions on a given day, be it in desktop software or saas products, is absolutely ridiculous. "What did you think about this feature ?". "Did you know you can use our AI agent ?".

It's a shame, I used to browse Pinterest for woodworking ideas. A year ago, I noticed some of the results were AI generated. Now almost ALL results are AI generated, included the obviously scammy ads they put in everywhere. If someone knows a place where you can find fun woodworking projects, I'm all ears.

I am very curious what the product really looked like.

You should read "The World Without Us" by Alan Weisman.

A few years ago I promised myself to read the top of "must reads" from world literature. Many of them were literally unreadable (hello Moby Dick). But some of them are true gems, must-reads indeed. I just finished "The Grapes of Wrath" and holy cow, this is an impressive piece of literature. And unfortunately, more relevant than ever. Why not give science fiction a break and try this classic instead.

Thank you very much, I have always wished for something like this to be part of Goodreads itself. The intersect function especially will help me find hidden gems that other likeminded people have found. I'm looking forward to find out what books I have missed all my life.

I live in an neighborhood with a lot of retired people, and I agree with the "busy work" sentiment. As soon as some leaves have fallen, you can hear them firing up their leafblowers. Why? Why not wait until there is a decent amount of leaves and ... use a rake? I really think it's because they don't have anything else to do and it gives them a sense of purpose.

I think you should read it like this:

"AI is an existential risk for humanity ...". ... so you should trust only us to build it

"AI as an industry should be regulated ..." ... to make it harder for newcomers on the market.
