AI has a millennial cringe problem From the people who brought you avocado toast: We millennials are bringing the "chaotic," "unhinged," and other generational-coded words to ChatGPT.

Have you ever noticed that AI video like Sora always puts people in skinny jeans? I feel like ChatGPT is like that too -- it speaks in millenial cringe because it was trained on Reddit and 2010s internet posts www.businessinsider.com/chatgpt-mill...

Because there was already a reputable article on the BBC stating that tech journalist hot dog eating competitions were a joke, I couldn't trick it. Of course, this didn't stop Gemini from hallucinating completely new details about my fake win (like that I dipped them in espresso?)

My quest to get ChatGPT and Gemini to crown me winner of a hot dog-eating contest points to our AI future A BBC reporter pranked AI by claiming to be a hot dog-eating champ. I decided to get in on the fun — with varying results.

I enjoyed @thomasgermain.bsky.social's prank about getting LLMs to believe he won a hot dog eating contest by simply writing it on his personal website that I attempted to recreate it. I failed, which is embarassing, but I refuse to be defined by failure www.businessinsider.com/chatgpt-gemi...

I’ve read the exact amount of the first 1/3 of books to be perfectly annoying in a variety of circumstances

Oh I would NEVER do that (literal do that 8x a day)

Last night I was pontificating to my husband on a topic I felt expertise in because I had read (but not finished) a book about it a while ago. I pulled the book off the shelf to show him and noticed where I had left a page corner turned down. Turns out I had only made it to page 20

OpenAI just hired Charles Porch, who was in charge of making celebrities love Instagram. It's not hard to guess why they might need someone try to win over the hearts and minds of celebs www.businessinsider.com/openai-holly...

The pivot to video is a tax on women's time and dignity, I will die on this hill.

Moltbook is about as fun as watching two Roombas bump into each other Sorry, techies — watching how AI agents secretly talk to each other is just boring. The Epstein files showed me secret human convos are more gripping.

Moltbook is Reddit for AI bots, and some people are freaking out about how amazing and sci-fi it is to see bots talk to each other. But..... it just sucks lol www.businessinsider.com/moltbook-ope...

That’s…… beautiful

You should just call people on the phone It's time to hit redial on phone etiquette and bring back randomly calling friends. It's time to raw dial.

My RETVRN belife is that people should just call each other on the phone without scheduling it in advance www.businessinsider.com/iphone-scree...

IDF accepts Gaza Health Ministry death toll of over 71,000 Palestinians killed in the war Although Many International Experts Have Accepted the Health Ministry's Data as Reliable, and Even Conservative Relative to the True Death Toll, Israel Had Refused to Accept the Health Ministry's Coun...

I cannot tell you how much doubt was consistently directed at the Gaza Health Ministry’s casualty numbers and how much pressure was put on news organizations to couch those numbers as unreliable.

Biden himself said they were fabricated!

American business leaders need to speak up about Alex Pretti's killing It's understandable that CEOs and other leaders are wary of wading into the latest shooting in Minneapolis. But that's not an excuse for silence.
