Beginning in 2014, prestige industries decided they urgently needed to diversify. They didn’t purge established Boomers. Instead, they did everything possible to avoid hiring white millennial men. This is the story of a generation derailed by DEI. https://t.co/kUfmpHfaMH

The easiest way to be left behind is to assume AI hasn't gotten any better since that one time you tried it in 2024. It has. But you haven't gotten any better at prompting since then, huh?
This rings true to my experience in AI art. Experienced artists are curious and want to learn more - they see it as a useful tool to express their ideas. Haters are typically amateurs who don't like that people using AI now have the skills they had to spend time learning.

I didn’t get AI, not really, until just this last week or so. I thought I did, but I didn’t…or maybe couldn’t? I was too close. I had been using it as a smarter Microsoft Clippy. “I see you are trying to write some code!” I still wasn’t seeing the big picture. Thought I was, but

6/11: Josh Painter AI-zaps his Happy Seedling videos into a snappy six-minuter. Efficiency level: over 9000! Who needs full episodes when AI's got the cliff notes? 🤖🌱 https://t.co/NW6S2gPhsn
All three of my Happy Seedling videos distilled down to about six minutes of AI generated content 🤯

IFSTT: If Split Then That I hope you enjoy this FREE tool and find it useful. Basically a visual way to generate complex XCH splits via @Lucky8Token's service on #Chia #Blockchain. You build the tree and it takes care of the rest https://t.co/j43xC1JShF

All it will take for a software team to commit seppuku next year is for one person to insist at least one human understands each PR. This will be the kiss of death, but it will sound like insightful common sense and many will nod along to their doom
