Let me start by saying I’m a “floor guy” at a small town hardware store. I am in training to be a manager but not one yet. I do a bunch of stuff around the store. Which leaves me busy a lot of the time....
It’s not a big deal. People are just upset that kids have more tools/resources than they did. They would prefer kids wrote on paper with pencil and did not use calculators or any other tool that they would have available to them in the workforce.
Wait till the HR world figures out their sole purpose is to protect corporations from actual human beings. God forbid they stop trying to pay people the least amount possible.
Corporations that squeeze their customers for all they’re worth and then not offering anything new: Why are all our customers leaving? Maybe if we gave bigger bonuses to the executives and fired more low level employees…
The problem is no human can simply give up a fentanyl addiction in a day or two. It takes MONTHS of hard work and support. One does not simply stop doing hard drugs and get into housing immediately. Solutions should be created and implemented by people that understand the underlying problems. We should be emulating countries like Portugal that have working systems. Instead we get braindead politicians creating the rules who have no idea what these people are going through or they want to create a system that will fail so we can go back to the failed war on drugs.
Negative press should be promoted. Everything else should be downvoted. This article isn’t negative, but rather a desperate attempt to stay in the 24 hour news cycle.
I’m curious why you read it that way? This is Elon Musk’s company putting out a PR release for their latest strategy to make money (and make the news). This is Twitter desperately trying to stay relevant. Sharing this information only serves to give free advertising to Twitter.
“Legal identity theft”? Haha, that’s funny. You have no idea what you’re talking about and you’re drumming up controversy where there is none. You’re just a PR pawn for Twitter, but you’re not intelligent enough to realize it.
Regardless of the AI companies, copyright has been broken for decades thanks to Disney. The system has been redesigned to benefit and serve large corporations with more money than anyone else.
Halo Infinite has always been a blatant cash grab. A game designed around a store. I have a hard time understanding why Halo fans play it rather than Halo MCC.
Thursday on X (Twitter), all users saw the same pinned topic under the “What’s happening?” sidebar.

I agree with you, but Musk operates on the “any publicity is good publicity” strategy. He doesn’t care if it’s good news or bad news.
Also we’ve had heaps of bad news about Musk and yet the cycle continues even after he has been called out countless times. In reality, articles like this that wouldn’t even make the news for another company have one effect - they keep Musk and his businesses in the 24 hour news cycle.
When X (formerly Twitter) owner Elon Musk changed his platform’s verification system, he ushered in a new reality where fringe conspiracy theorists could easily promote false claims about breaking news. That happened again shortly after the deadly mass shootings in Lewiston, Maine, as Media Matters found numerous heavily...
I agree with you, but Musk operates on the “any publicity is good publicity” strategy.
Also, this isn’t even bad news. It’s just a bland update that some journalist thought would get him some hate clicks. In reality, it’s just keeping Musk and his businesses in the 24 hour news cycle.

Hell, I certainly didn’t think AI would be able to create art like it does now just a few years ago. Most people thought AI would take manufacturing jobs long before it took the jobs of artists.
