What a joke are AI writers. Their "work" is new to them the first time they see it when the prompt spits out their text. My work's not new to me when I read it because I wrote it, I was there for every letter & sentence laid down.

I am so panicked that people are going to stop buying books right now. And I donโ€™t just say this because I have a book coming out in April. I am saying this also because indie bookstores are doing a lot of protest support work and need the business. And my friends have books coming out too.

By this logic comic book writers should be millionaires.

And they should.

โ€œIn 1404, King Taejong fell from his horse during a hunting expedition. Embarrassed, looking to his left and right, he commanded, โ€œDo not let the historian find out about this.โ€ To his disappointment, the historian accompanying the hunting party included these words in the annals, in addition to a description of the kingโ€™s fall.โ€œ

LMFAOOOOOO rip to that guy

Every time someone tries to convince me that generative AI is not as harmful to our minds and environment they only manage to reaffirm my belief that itโ€™s rotting our souls from the inside out.

me, librarian: I think information should be organized and structured logically so that searches are high in precision and recall

tech industry, 2000: nope, keyword searching and opaque relevance rankings are what youโ€™ll get

Folks gotta unbrainwash themselves from thinking terrible things are good bc it's relatively less terrible than we're used to

Things getting worse slower just means we're more likely to acclimate to far worse in the future

Here's a lovely photo of my fabric art spider. She has two mouths full of sharp teeth, located on opposite sides of her body. She has 9 black and red eyes of various sizes. Her oval body is lavender, and there are green and yellow flowers embroidered on her body.

Here's a sneak peek of the hand-sewn creature I'm working on. I think she's some sort of interdimensional spider.

The really fucked up thing is that this isnโ€™t the first or second time a middle-aged (or older), โšช๏ธ lady has engaged in these exact shenanigans at a pharmacy drive thru. ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿฟ

We repeated this process twice more before she explained annoyedly that, with her insurance, she shouldnโ€™t have a copay.

Iโ€™m just, like, โ€œMaโ€™am, youโ€™re in your sixties. Youโ€™re a full grown adult. Donโ€™t passive aggressively send the container back empty. Please, use your words.โ€

Just had a drive-thru customer interaction that started normally: I told her the amount for her prescriptions and sent out the signature slip. She returned the signed signature slip, but no form of payment. I sent the container back, reminding her that payment was required. She sent it back empty.

The Wright Museums Instagram page is HILARIOUS. Think The Office but it's the staff at a Museum for Black History. Better believe this is on my list of places to visit.
