This is too simplistic. I know conservative voters who didn't vote for 47, many not even for 45. Conservative is a value set and the Venn diagram of that with MAGA is far from a perfect overlap. If you replace "conservatives" with "47's cult-like followers" I would come closer to agreeing with your take. I do take issue with "everyone else" though. I think that doesn't hit the mark either. I think there is more purple between this red team/blue team thinking than there are both extremes of this scale added together. Stop digging deeper trenches. And don't shoot your political opponents.

I feel like so-called AI was the least impactful variable in this clusterfuck.
Lol I read that as "first responders or 911" as in nine one one. I would say the addition of a / might have clarified it. But that doesn't diminish my failure at reading comprehension.
I find nothing helpful except exposure. Reading and hearing it cements the oddities of counting.
I'm fairly confident that you are generalizing this a bit and that there are police and fire fighting departments on this planet that employ nurses. In general though, first responders who get injured end up in the same system than the people they save and need medical attention: hospitals. If you are in need of nurse aftercare, you are probably off on sick leave - so what would the nurse actually do? Especially in the smaller bf-nowhere operations, I don't see how you could justify the cost. Plus, most firehouses have paramedics already. They're not the same as a nurse but bring a lot of similar skills.
(We are) committed to continually improving safeguards against harmful or inappropriate uses of the platform.
Effing funny. Turn it off then. It's not unintended use of the platform. It's at this point in time an uncontrollable operation.
Meanwhile, experts behind the latest investigation are appalled at Character's inability to ward off harmful content for underage users.
I must point out here that the first bulwark of corrective action is the purview of parents/guardians. You can blame these effing companies for having minor-grooming chat bots, which they should not have. Not even in a testing phase. But we cannot just work this one angle. We cannot let parents et al off the hook. You have to have a least three talks now with the kids. Birds and bees, social media and online bullying/predators, and so-called AI. As bad as I feel for the parents of teenagers who took their own life: it wasn't just the chat bot, was it.
Is this happening even for their premium subscribers?
There is no simple answer to this. It's like at least three factors interacting. How much empathy do you feel towards the other person? How close is your relationship on the scale of strangers bumping into each other on the street to best friends forever? How big an issue has any of this been objectively (or as close as you can get there)? So that's three sliding scales to adjust to get an outcome. The closer a relationship is, the harder this can be because there is history and people (I'm including myself in this) can be very petty.
Just judging by the hints you dropped you should probably reconsider your approach to your coworkers. And I don't mean you need to be submissively apologetic all the time and share everything from your private life, even your hemorrhoid problems, with the crew. You'll probably make your life easier just on a human level plus improve odds of promotion if you do more of that, even if it feels more line cosplay to you. I share your "grow the eff up"/no bullshit stance but that only works in a group of like minded people.
I think it's the wrong label, anti-intellectualusm. Sense of reality might do it more justice. I think there are two factors at play. 1) how much does higher education cost you? Does it put you in debt you'll be lucky to have paid off before you retire? Have other people gotten degrees and still ended up unemployed? Why get majorly in debt to get no job in the end? That's more a North American specific problem. I'm in Asia and I haven't heard anybody shit talking college degrees in favor of the trades. 2) We need plumbers and carpenters and welders and whatnot. And due to declining birth rates in many places and the fact that the numerous birth years of the boomers are retiring and will continue to retire in the short term, we are running out of sparkies, masons, and HVACs. So if you had to career advise people today, you'd be silly not to bring up a profession with near certainty of getting a job once you're trained up.
Shitty work environments exist in more high brow professions as well.
