I hate how much time my doctor's office has to spend arguing with insurance about things that will drastically impact quality of life or even save my life. I also hate that MRIs (a diagnostic tool) are often only covered after physical therapy, which is heavily subsidized by patients.

WHY IS AN INSURANCE COMPANY ALLOWED TO OVERRULE YOUR DOCTOR WHO IS AN EXPERT LIKE HOW FUCKING DARE IF YOU NEED THE SURGERY YOU NEED THE SURGERY HOW FUCKING DARE *how fucking dare* The insurance's job is to pay for the fucking surgery. wtf WTF no seriously WTF

Imo it's possible, historically, that greater physical labor subdued some people's less-positive symptoms and ADHD-focus increased productivity. One of my siblings flips houses and the dopamine hits from the work and her ability to hyperfocus on doing *all* the things works in her favor.

“While traits of ADHD undeniably exist – the question is why they exist. Is ADHD actually a neurodevelopmental disorder? Do people with ADHD have differently wired brains? Or does our world – with…processed food, and regimented education – serve as the catalyst for certain…patterns of behaviour?”

So it turns out I have lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow) in my right elbow. PT for my left shoulder and increased activity have caused a bunch of little tears and inflammation where the tendons attach from my lower arm. I'll be in a new sort of brace and back to ice-ing and exercises. *sighs* 🙄

Geez. Advances this high for regular authors are so rare. These days, famous people and big name authors are the only ones getting advances.

👀 Fascinated by the "withdrawn by its agents" detail. So the AI use was so blatant that the agents due a huge payday preemptively withdrew the contract?

I ruined hench thugs permanently for my husband because I yell at the screen, "Your boss just died! No one is paying you to die for this ridiculous evil plot. Stop chasing the protagonists when other thugs are dying. You'd run away in real life!"

Humanity doesn't even have the option to say no to this destructive and exploitive "genie." I can't avoid using AI despite a strong desire to. Also, it's much closer to a monkey's paw situation imo.

“What we need to explain to the world: Number one, we are close to creating a genie that can grant any wish. Number two, we are going to make sure that our first wishes broadly benefit humanity” - Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI — This is definitely the opposite of Anthropic’s AI kills all jobs pitch.

I think we figured out what had happened and why I couldn't finish setting up my new phone. When I applied the phone's accessibility features that make icons and text bigger, later screens in the OS weren't optimized for that and it pushed the "accept" button below the screen's access.

So it looks like my phone also won't let me adjust some settings via typing and manual methods. It looks like I'll need to interact audibly with the AI assistant to give permissions and fix settings. Though, admittedly, it's not giving me any real assistance in understanding what is happening. 🙄
