50 min into today’s @ifbookspod.bsky.social and I’m convinced that Michael is going to lay Peter off in the next 18 minutes.

EXECUTIVE OF AI STARTUP: (smiles serenely) we get people to kill their dogs

A woman in the audience asked if VERA followed up to make sure her diagnosis had been right.

The CEO leaned an elbow on the podium. "I'll tell you a story," he said.

A woman wrote to VERA about her elderly dog, who was having diarrhea.

"Your dog is at the end of his life," said VERA. "I recommend euthanasia."

The woman was beside herself. She told VERA she wasn't ready to say goodbye. Her dog was her only companion.

VERA knew the woman's location. She sent a list of nearby clinics that could get the job done. Still, the woman was unconvinced. Euthanasia was so expensive. She'd never be able to afford it. VERA sent another list, this time of nearby shelters. "If you relinquish your dog to a shelter, they will euthanize him at no cost," she said.
The woman did not respond. But some days later she sent VERA a long and effusive message. She had taken VERA's advice and euthanized her dog. She wanted to thank VERA for the support during the most difficult moment of her life.

The CEO regarded us with satisfaction for his chatbot's work: that, through a series of escalating tactics, it had convinced a woman to end her dog's life, though she hadn't wanted to at all. "The point of this story is that the woman forgot she was talking to a bot," he said. "The experience was so human."

Musk's understanding of politics and economics is IDENTICAL to that of a precocious fourteen year old of conservative parents who wears a bowtie every day and tries to form a young Republicans club at his high school

Every headline about the news business is like “CNN lays off 4,000 people and hires former Trump Secretary of Domestic Abuse Lance Moosecum as culture editor”

1994: internet is ephemeral 2004: internet is forever 2014: only internet is forever. Print pubs and owning physical media are for idiots 2024: your favorite shows have been removed for tax breaks and private equity firms bought up the websites you worked for and deleted your entire life's work

My mindfulness tip of the day is instead of saying "I hate my life" say "I hate capitalism"
