Welcome to Nostr!
It's going to be interesting watching prompt injection play out in the AI space. I wonder what the first really big breach will be...
Dove Produces Ultra-Woke Ad To Change Beauty Standards In Video Games? https://www.zerohedge.com/political/dove-produces-ultra-woke-ad-change-beauty-standards-video-games

I'm curious... Is there a NIP for setting the language your posts are in/showing only posts in a specific language?
So, Grammarly has gone woke. Anyone got any suggestions for a decent alternative? Happy to pay for a tool that works and doesn't push propaganda.
