10 Things in Tech: Joe Biden has tried ChatGPT, Silicon Valley goes sober, and leaked Shopify audio
Read Original Source
We made it to Friday, friends. I'm Diamond Naga Siu, and I don't drink alcohol. I know sobriety is a pretty personal conversation for a lot of people. And it used to be something I hid by pretending to take shots or by making up an excuse about medicine. But after becoming more comfortable with this decision, I openly share it (as Insider's Allana Akhtar writes, cool girls don't drink alcohol anymore, by the way). And Silicon Valley is catching on, too.
