Really struggling on a traditional painting at the moment and it's really putting me in a mood, but you know what I'd never do? Fucking touch AI.

Just stumbled across this photo I took of a Worf figure I bought my brother years ago. It looks like he's about to murder someone in front of a sunset and I love it, lol.

AIs can generate near-verbatim copies of novels from training data LLMs memorize more training data than previously thought.

"It's not theft, a human could also memorize thousands of books and recite them for profit, luddite."

Ahhh, so she was nearing her blueberry quota for the day.

Once at a Culver's, I saw a kid working there ask an annoyed looking woman how her shake was. She said it had TOO MANY blueberries, had him take it back. That woman lives rent free in my head. Any time I see a shake or a blizzard or a smoothie, I puzzle over what "too many blueberries" is.

Post from twitter on our @clarkesworld account from 11:48AM on Feb 20, 2023. "Submissions are currently closed. It shouldn't be hard to guess why."

Today is the 3rd slopiversary of us having to temporarily close submissions. The problem of "AI"-generated submissions hasn't gone away and is still a huge waste of our time. House policy remains the same: #noAI stories, translation, art, or anything else.

I'm cool with new data centers under the condition they be built ONLY next to people who support them. See how long that lasts.

Judge forced to slash SF jury pool over hate for Elon Musk One candidate said he thinks sending Elon Musk to prison would benefit humanity.

“In a criminal trial, I would feel morally obligated to convict, however, in a civil trial I could set those views aside,” adding, “I believe it would be to the benefit of the human race for Mr. Musk to be sent to prison.”

Finji Says TikTok Published Racist AI Ads Of Its Game The shortform video app’s customer service has given Finji the runaround

So TikTok is using AI to make racist and sexualized ads of people's products without consent, then acting like nothing is wrong. Cool cool, great technology, awesome company.

Paid large sums by Adobe for engagement that the rivals that of brand new accounts.

Probably thanks to the neighbors who for some reason installed a bat house ON their house.

Tweet from AI and Adobe shill and all around embarrassing person that says, "Creators who use AI deserve respect and support."

Everyone knows the best way to garner respect is not to earn it, but to be a thief who demands it.

"I'm glad you entitled, elitist Hollywood artists are losing your jobs to AI," they say to an art school dropout who lives in Michigan in a small, 100-year old house with 3 cats and bats in the walls. Sorry for trying to entertain you doing something I'm passionate about, my bad.

He's got a friend apparently, lol. Not for much longer.

Screenshot of tweet that says, "Wow. Captain America vs Batman. At this point I may just cancel my Netflix subscription and just generate my own movies and TV shows." The video is Captain America fighting Batman.

"At this point I may just cancel my Netflix subscription and just generate my own movies and TV shows."

Hyperbole or not, this is exactly why this isn't fair use. AI companies are profiting off IP and work that isn't theirs and it's absolutely hurting artists and filmmakers.

I always go the whole whey.

"... those same manufacturers "internally estimate the shortage will last until 2030, or even for another 10 years."

I'm gonna vomit.

Look, I'm not going to get into the differences between hard and soft cheeses in house construction, you should have learned all this already in middle school during Kraft's cheese appreciation week, but rest assured I know what I'm doing.

The whole thing comes down in the summer when it gets past 80. I order in a U-Haul of tortilla chips and all the neighbors just eat it up. The kids love it.

You don't weigh yourself before and after cheese? Get on my level.

I'm leaving Costco with blocks of cheese like a contractor leaves Home Depot with bricks.

I stay off the hard stuff.

How big.

... you go first.

We don't even use shredded cheese in anything, but we buy it every week. What is happening. This is BIG. 5G? MK Ultra? What's in the cheese they want us to eat it so bad? Grok, help.

I don't want to sound crazy, but could Big Cheese be piping in cheddar dreams through my Wi-Fi or something? Sometimes I wake up at night with an insatiable, unshakeable urge to eat shredded cheese out of the fridge. Can someone get RFK Jr on the horn, I think he might be interested in this.

YouTube video by FX Networks The Corporation's (Ashton Kutcher) Song and Dance Montage - Scene | The Beauty | FX

Have you watched The Beauty? Because there's a sequence in one episode that plays the song its entirety out of nowhere and it's fucking awesome, lol. It's probably not a good payoff without the lead up and context, but it's a great show, highly recommend.

I see your name and I'm obliged to inform you about an excellent song from a few months ago.

AI Doesn’t Kill Jobs? Tell That to Freelancers There’s now data to back up what freelancers have been saying for months

It's already harming employment in film actually, I talked to the WSJ about it a year and a half ago.
