""One of the biggest threats from these technologies is how they will be used to discipline workers directly.. AI’s advocates risk creating a two-tier system where artificial facsimiles will be deemed good enough for those without means—but the well-to-do will hire actual humans."New from @emilymbender and me at Tech Policy Press.https://techpolicy.press/ai-hurts-consumers-and-workers-and-isnt-intelligent/

I got this saw at Daiso for $3, took some old poplar, and fashioned a new handle for it with files and sandpaper. Not bad for my first woodworking project.Also this is now a crafting account. Craftodon.

One of my DMs let my Barbarian/Cleric take a level of warlock after I failed a divine intervention so hard (literally got a 1 out of 100) while in the Nine Hells, I summoned a mommy devil who made a contract with my character
