179 - Have an Issue? Take a Scratchy Tissue

from Ironweeds · host ironweeds

You wake up one day to find your girlfriend distant, cold, rebuffing your advances. She seems to have been lobotomized. It could happen to you–if your girlfriend is an AI. The war in Ukraine has made the Watervliet Arsenal a hot spot for hiring. Nursing homes are leaving their patients destitute, and cheap soap and scratchy tissues are robbing the elderly of their dignity. In brighter news, Democrats sympathize more with Palestinians than Israelis for the first time.    https://www.reuters.com/technology/what-happens-when-your-ai-chatbot-stops-loving-you-back-2023-03-18/     https://www.wsj.com/articles/at-a-steam-age-arsenal-u-s-army-forges-cannons-for-a-digital-era-war-in-ukraine-68e51440    https://apnews.com/article/nursing-home-medicaid-personal-needs-allowance-poverty-2e0a2d90d7d63d4b476397a50a9cddff   https://mondoweiss.net/2023/03/gallup-poll-support-for-palestinians-continues-to-grow-among-democratic-voters/
