In short, using AI in your writing is among the dumbest things you can do as a writer as it exposes you to potential legal action while affording you zero legal protections. AI is a nightmare box for idiots. Don't fall into the trap of shortcutting your writing career.

Tumblr post screen capture by nocryptographer about how to tell AI slop from a story that was created by a human being.

If the writer’s eyes light up when asked, “why did the character do that?” then it’s real.

2/2 Today: 1 ICE Air to Gitmo then to Nicaragua for a deport (the 11th such), and 1 to Jamaica after Gitmo for a deport. There is a C30 that landed in Harlingen recently so perhaps to Gitmo later or tomorrow? Prior to today there were 65 people detained at Gitmo.

1/2 Today: 3 deportations on C17 military planes from Harlingen and 2 traditional ICE Air to Gitmo. This makes a total 54 military plane deports and today to Guatemala (mil: 20th ), Honduras (mil: 10th) and El Salvador (mil: 5th). Makes 65 total flights to Gitmo.

Happy 4th.

A friend just asked me what I do to stay hopeful and I told him one of my favorite strategies…I stay hopeful by remembering that no one has any idea what the fuck is going to happen, so as long as we don’t know, we gotta do what we can.

He'd start a podcast - oh, wait...

ChatGPT Lost a Chess Game to an Atari 2600 And on the 'Beginner' difficulty level, too.

Deep Blue is 30 years old and was capable of defeating chess grand champions. It could be housed in a single cabinet.

ChatGPT spans untold data centers devouring massive amounts of electricity and it got its ass whipped by an 8 bit gaming console from the 1970s.

it’s almost like courage in the face of fascism is rewarded by voters or something
