Sure they could be a person. I think dolphins and elephants are people too. You are arguing in bad faith. You can’t tell if a human or AI wrote a press statement and that makes me sad.

Babe I have two eyes, two ears, and a heart that yearns for honesty and knowledge. I know people can sound robotic too, and there are corporate scripts, and autism is a factor, but good lord. If there was an alien wearing human-esque skin suit standing in front of you I don’t think you’d be able to tell it from an actual person and that’s just sad.

I was driving through western Washington near Idaho recently, scrolling through the radio to see what they had going on out there, and the song literally went “find you a girl who loves her daddy, and talkin bout babies makes her happy” likeeee cmon this is straight up Christian white nationalism dog-whistle, let us be honest with ourselves.

I love Lucinda Williams

How tf did I get downvoted for saying it sounds like AI bullshit? Who are these people who actually object to my assessment? I feel like I’m living in the upside down

I could be a performer, I’m nimble

Bro during my intership I called a couple students into my office to say hey, you made a mistake, this is rife with typos, you didn’t even fill out this section, and they took it so badly. I was shocked. We were only a couple years apart in age but seriously they acted like they had a limp whenever you asked anyone to do anything.

A standout was when a patient’s BMI was recorded as 6,000 (obviously imopossible) and we all had a good chuckle about it and then I asked them to go find a a nurse to fix it because we didn’t know how to/didn’t have access on our end, and they gave me shocked pikachu faces. Like okay, you can’t correct that yourselves, what can you do…crickets. They pushed back so hard against anything I told them to do. It was my first experience managing people and they were acting like I was weird and bad and wrong for trying to tell them to do normal hospital stuff. So then I feel like the bad guy

Brilliant

Do you actually think it’s okay that they had a bot make a press release this hamfisted?

Bruh when I first got my computer the first thing I did after getting a browser was install AdBlock except it was a virus site posing as adblock. I feel so dumb right now. I think I need to just pay someone to sit with me for an hour and teach me computer basics. It feels like I missed a step and everyone knows what’s going on but me

It gave them bad advice

Without those, what can you recommend to someone who is not tech-savvy but willing to learn?

Oh sorry I kinda went off on my own tangent but I’m glad you have people looking out for you. We had to file and file and file and kept bouncing to different courts and going to the 7th circuit etc and it was crazy how much work they put in to try to block it. Imagine if they just gave you benefits straight away, since they definitely wasted more money with the denials and appeals. What a wonderful world. I really hope you’re doing well (clearly I’m not the terminology guy)

I’m not a lawyer, path diverged, but it was both hilarious and devastating what went on in that office. I’d turn in initial briefs (my job way back then was to read through all their medical notes and then turn them into something readable for the law types) and it was just like “this guy has needed a new wheelchair for 2 fuckin years, assholes,” and then I’d find the specs of the different wheelchairs that would be more suitable, and then my lovely old boss would call me into the office and say “hey, that’s not how we word things, let’s have you go over my edits” and we’d trade back and forth until my vitriol married his professionalism.

A scathing legal brief is so exciting to read. You’re on the edge of your seat like it’s a final match in [insert your preferred sport] like GET EM!" Good times.

I hope you’re doing okay, message me if you want to vent about the SSDI process or anything! I’m not in it now tho

My fear is that we may lose the older judges to the people who pull stunts like this, and then it’ll be an unqualified and ignorant judge listening to lawyers citing imaginary evidence

Why did you try to use AI for that in the first place? Are you not part of the problem? Glad you figured it out

I miss integrity.

I know how this is going to sound but during college I thought I was going to go to law school and I had a cute little part-time job with the smallest local law firm. It was just the lawyer who had been doing it for ages and another part-time lawyer, so pretty much a one-man firm, and I would draft briefs for him that were absolutely ridiculous in their acerbity. He would then edit them and call me into his office and show me his edits and tell me I needed to tone it down. It was social security disability law, so there were a lot of people with debilitating diseases, some of whom didn’t receive benefits for YEARS until after their deaths (benefits went to widow/ers). It shook me and the scales fell from my eyes, but we actually worked on these things. He was a smart guy and could have done a different field of law but he genuinely wanted to do this, and the college students he employed cared too, and we crafted our own words.

I really miss that man.

Anyway, all of that to say even if paralegals were drafting the lawyers’ statements, there is no reason for them to not look over them and properly edit before they submit. Because some of my first drafts were wildddd lol

The world really isn’t built for people on the outside of the bell curve. I have a 4’10" mom and a 6’7" ex and they had so many things they complained about that I never even thought about because I’m 5’6", so the normalest height possible. Your solutions make sense

Genuinely this is something you should see a doctor about. A calf cramp once in a while doesn’t say that much about underlying pathology but if your jaw is cramping to that extent you should talk to someone. There are treatments for TMJ disfunction.

I saw a mosquito in my vicinity recently so I gotta do what I gotta do
