FYI: In the next couple weeks virtually every AI service will have a built in invisible watermark in text that will flag anything as AI generated no matters the way in which you use it. What this means is that if you use AI to even check for spelling errors or grammar your entire document will be flagged as AI and invalidated. This is going to create a whole heap of problems for people as we enter the Salem Witch Trials of AI accusations. As of now we believe ChatGPT in the US is still cuck free but pretty much all of the AI companies in Europe are cooked. Maybe someone in the comments can provide the exact list.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
OpenAI watermarks ChatGPT text only in the EU; Anthropic marks newer Claude models worldwide; Gemini has used SynthID since 2024. The marks are only in AI-written text, weaken with editing, and detector access is restricted. tech.yahoo.com/ai/chatgpt/art… techcrunch.com/2026/08/11/ant…

In 2015, the UK introduced the 5p charge for plastic carrier bags. Minimum wage was £6.70 an hour, meaning you could buy 134 bags with an hour's work. Fast forward to 2026. Minimum wage has increased to £12.71, but carrier bags now cost around 40p each. That same hour of work now gets you just 31 bags. So the price of carrier bags has gone up 700%, while wages have only increased by 89%. If minimum wage had kept up with the price of plastic bags, we'd now be earning £53.60 an hour. Even plastic carrier bags are outperforming wages in this country. We're getting robbed.

My dad who recently passed from cancer was a fairly frequent chatgpt user and this is the exact kind of stuff I was terrified of finding when I checked his phone after he passed. What an insane nightmare

One of the most heartbreaking thing I’ve read. Rest in peace beautiful girl
Heartbreaking story of a Chinese immigrant engineer, who, after getting laid off from Amazon, reduced epilepsy medication on ChatGPT’s advice so she could perform better at job interviews and apply for a green card. She died because of all these. nytimes.com/2026/10/27/well/…

It’s a holocaust.
ثلاثة أعوام وهذا المشهد يتكرر بلا انقطاع. إسرائيل قتلت وأحرقت والدتها أمام عينيها بعد أن قصفت شقتهم بمدينة غزة.

Hi all! I’m still raising funds for the family of the late Palestinian football legend Sulaiman Al Obaid: his wife and their 5 children. Sulaiman was killed last year while trying to get aid. These donations are now his family’s only source of income chuffed.org/project/145216-h…

I hate seeing other people live my dreams because me, the witnesses and even this tweet will be on the way to a tribunal to collect more money.
A friend put in a Maternity leave request 7 months after the previous one ended and her female manager asked her if she lacks the ability to properly track her cycle. Things you see in consulting

قصة للعظة والعبرة أول راتب استلمته وعمري ٢٣، قال لي أبوي: «كل شهر تحوّل لي ١٠٠». قلت له: «ليش يبه؟» قال: «حق التربية». ضحكت، لكنه ما ضحك. ومن يومها، كل يوم ٢٧ إذا نزل الراتب أحوّل له ١٠٠، وأكتب بالملاحظة: «حق التربية». ويرد علي كل مرة: «وصل. الله يرزقك». ولا يزيد كلمة. حوّلتها وأنا عزوبي. وحوّلتها شهر زواجي، والديون فوق راسي. وحوّلتها الشهر اللي انولد فيه ولدي، وما بقي بحسابي إلا ١٤٠. زوجتي كانت تقول: «أبوك متقاعد وعنده بيته، وش يبي بالـ١٠٠؟» وخوياي يقولون: «أبوك حاط عليك ضريبة؟» وأقول لهم: «أبوي كذا، له طبايعه». مرة تأخرت عليه يوم واحد. الساعة ٧ الصبح اتصل وقال: «عسى ما شر؟» حوّلت له وأنا أضحك وقلت في نفسي: والله إنه دقيق بالفلوس. ومرّت ١٢ سنة على هالحال. قبل ٣ شهور، الشركة استغنت عني. ما قلت لأحد، حتى زوجتي. كل يوم ألبس ثوبي وأطلع الساعة ٧، وأقعد بالسيارة عند كوفي لين الظهر، ثم أرجع البيت كأني راجع من الدوام. وجا يوم ٢٧… وما نزل راتب. لأول مرة من ١٢ سنة، ما حوّلت لأبوي شيء. بعد العشاء دق جوالي. قال: «ما وصلني شيء». قلت: «نسيت يبه، بكرة إن شاء الله». سكت شوي، ثم قال: «تعال الحين، بروحك». دخلت المجلس ولقيته جالس، وقدامه دفتر قديم وظرف. دفّ الدفتر لي وقال: افتحه». كل سطر فيه تاريخ، و١٠٠، واسمي. وجنب كل سطر مكتوب وين راحت: «برادة موية»… «كفالة يتيم»… «سلة رمضان»… «سقيا عمال». ١٤٤ سطر. قال: «ولا ريال من فلوسك دخل جيبي». وعطاني جواله، وفيه صورة برادة موية عند مسجد، عليها لوحة صغيرة مكتوب فيها: «صدقة عن ولدي، الله يحفظه». عرفتها على طول. هي نفس البرادة اللي عند المسجد جنب دوامي، اللي كنت أشرب منها كل يوم بعد الظهر. سنين وأنا أشرب من صدقة أبوي عني وأنا ما أدري. بعدها دفّ الظرف لي وقال: «وهذا مني أنا». فتحته، ولقيت فيه ٧٢ ألف. قال: «من أول راتب لك وأنا أحط هنا ٥٠٠ كل شهر». «قلت بيجي يوم ما يوصلني منك شيء… وذاك اليوم بتكون محتاجني». قلت: «يبه، كيف عرفت؟» قال: «١٢ سنة ما تأخرت إلا يوم واحد، واليوم ما وصل شيء. ما يحتاج أحد يقول لي». ما قدرت أتكلم. قال: «الـ١٠٠ عمري ما كنت أبيها. كنت أبي أعرف كل شهر إنك بخير، بدون ما أسألك وتقول لي: تمام، وأنت مو تمام». بعد شهرين لقيت وظيفة. أول يوم ٢٧، حوّلت له ١٠٠ وكتبت: «حق التربية». رد: «وصل. الله يرزقك». وبعدها بدقيقة، لأول مرة، جتني منه رسالة ثانية: «ولا عاد تخبّي علي».

Why are we still so terrible at grief admin? It is hard enough to have to find the energy to cancel accounts, close bank accounts, register deaths and all the other gut wrenching tasks without these thoughtless responses.
Dear @virginmedia may I respectfully suggest that sending a letter saying, 'You couldn't have taken over the account at a more exciting time, with so much to look forward to,' is not the best way to respond to a call to your bereavement helpline. You're welcome.
