The average worker in America is missing out on a breakneck speed advancement in AI technologies. If you aren’t paying attention and upskilling, you really need to. You might not need to use AI, but you at least need to understand how it works.

@musingmymind @wmata @wmataGM I’ve done that route before on a bike share before and while I was definitely peddling super fast and it’s not sustainable. I did make it in half an hour! And this was pre-E bike mind you.

The point is that billionaires could do a hell of a lot more. No one ~needs~ a billion dollars. Ever.
the Rich@Duderichy
the average billionaire has provided more surplus value to society than a random pop star could conceive of

@Duderichy She's got 32 Grammy nominations and won 9 and she's just 23.
She's got 27 million daily plays on Spotify. 57 billion total streams on Spotify alone.
"Random Pop Star" is quite a curious way to describe her.

@JillFilipovic and hanging out in person isn't always feasible, be it anxiety, distance, physical ability etc. I couldn't skate, but I could still be friends with the skaters or the baseball players etc in HS because I could play xbox with them at night.
English
@JillFilipovic I agree that in person would be better, and a rate of 97% is far too high, but there is a huge opportunity to harness that conduit of communication for good, allow boys to be less lonely, escape from the world the way a good book would//teach teamwork values etc.
English
Some things are just obviously bad and I don't think we need research to tell us that 97% of boys playing video games, and spending an avg of 10 hours per week playing video games instead of playing sports or hanging out in-person with friends, is bad.
