Agreed to an extent but please look up the word to confirm that the assumption you made about what it means from context clues is accurate. That's the important second step, especially when learning foreign languages and especially when reading nonfiction and especially if you are studying.

Rolling Stone: Did you know Frank Ocean was gay before he came out last year? Tyler, the Creator: Yeah, I was one of the first people he told. I kinda knew, because he likes Pop Tarts without frosting on them, so I knew something was weird. But that’s my nigga.

Generative AI and the artist discussion is such a distraction from AI’s military and police applications or its role in automating hiring discrimination.
