Was in Croatia this summer researching a book. But flew into Paris (from the US) before heading to Zagreb & Split. Prices were higher in Croatia vs what I paid the previous week in Paris. Both countries are on the Euro and part of Euro Zone, so why are they higher in Croatia?

Ooooooh! A) congrats on your positive rejection. I received a rejection a few months ago that was more glowing than most of my acceptances. It's still keeping me going. And B) I know exactly what I'm going to do with my tiny Daiso cherry blossom stickers. This is so great. Thank you for sharing.

So, in addition to it being a shitshow of privacy invasions, the results would be...terrifying💀

I'm doing what it says AI could do. Except, I see those past actions were terrible. I, unlike AI, understand I was stuck & made bad choices. I had a near breakdown, resurgence of disordered eating & panic attacks before I changed. AI bot would suggest future me make bad choices based on past me.

This is TERRIBLE. AI learns from past data, regardless of how good or bad those decisions were, because it struggles to understand context.
I'm a self-hating writer working on a memoir. AND I'm a copywriter for AI companies. Currently reading old journals & social media posts for the memoir.

Agreed! I also love the "but isn't XYZ place dangerous?" comments. Said from people who rarely leave their own zip code.

2) Commets on the NYT piece were a shitshow saying men are being blacklisted and/or terrible DEI is to blame. Knowing what we know about publising, how little it pays, how unsexy it is to write, are more male writers deciding to go into say marketing, like I did until my 40s, because it pays more?

1)I agree, we should all be reading/writing more.
The original piece alludes to & stops short of saying men are not reading/writing because they are marginalized but does not theorize why. Is it because culture like podcast bros have suggested it's not "Alpha?"
