The way that someone responds to you is a reflection of them, not of you. If someone in your life is wildly inconsistent, all you can do is make sure that you are maintaining consistency yourself.
I've worked with a number of people who acted like we were besties one day and then gave me the cold shoulder for weeks. I spent too many years wondering what was wrong with me before I finally figured out that their mood swings had nothing to do with me.
I remember when Fox was a brand-new network that only broadcast during specific times of the day in my area.
I wonder what would happen if the world found out that Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone (or any other celebrity/athlete/role model) was using Chat GPT to respond to fan mail. My gut feeling is that people would find it disingenuous at best -- and there would probably be significant outrage.
Where's the AI that does my dishes and cleans my house so I have more time to write, create, and connect with others? That's the technology I want -- not one that does the meaningful part and leaves the menial stuff up to me.
The convicted felon?
In some countries, cellular companies still charge for sending text messages to people who have a different provider. WhatsApp is an easy way to connect with all of the people you know without paying extra fees.
And there's a whole customer interface that lets you order directly from small businesses, which is super convenient if you live in a country that still has a lot of "mom and pop" stores instead of giant superstore chains.
We also would have accepted Rusty Shackleford.
Agreed on both counts.
Let's not forget Echo, November and Whiskey from Dollhouse.
That's most of the programs car dealers buy.. lowest bidder marketing company with no context and little practical experience gets told "we need X" and voila, here's X.
I worked in marketing for a decade, and when my company started trying to court car dealerships, the quality expectation for that segment of our work was basically non-existent. We went from a high-end boutique experience with 99% accuracy and on-time delivery to mass-produced garbage marketing with literally bare-minimum quality control. 1/10, would not recommend.
For real. Every time I'm scrolling through a news article and I see a rectangle with an X in the upper-right corner, my initial reaction is, "Oops. Ad. Scroll past." I'm quite certain I've missed some embedded tweets that way.
Baggallini bags are virtually indestructible in my experience. I have a tote and a purse that I've used daily for 5 years, and they both look exactly like they did the day I bought them.
Oh, man. What a day that was. I was in first grade, still too young to understand that there were people in that thing and that those people died.
When we watched it blow up like fireworks, I don't think we realized that wasn't what it was supposed to do. Our poor teacher had to process it pretty quickly so she could explain it to us.
