BUDDY RAYMOND'S NO BULLSHIT GUIDE TO DRONE HUNTING is full of Canadian rage. When it came out last February it seemed impossible. Now I'm not so sure. The story is free to read here: diabolicalplots.com/dp-ficti…

The same people who mocked English and humanities degrees as "unserious" or "easy" compared to STEM or business degrees are now making posts about how they need ChatGPT to "translate" classic novels into "modern English."

“I was wrong” - weak - defeatist - implies lack of knowledge “this benefits me in ways you can't imagine” - mysterious - confident - implies eerie foreshadowing powers

I'm sick of seeing crap like "no turning back now", "the genie is out of the bottle" and "adapt or get left behind/die" in regards to AI. The people who say this are predatory a-holes attempting to use fear to coerce you to partake in their BUSINESS venture. It's all about money.
