Still think Antifa isn't violent? Here's bodycam footage of Antifa founder B.J. Blazkowicz shooting a heroic member of ICE who was just trying to protect this great nation. Thank God we have Blazkowicz's girlfriend in custody.

this shifted something. you can't unsee it. "i don't want to get my shots!" why would you? you're twelve. "i want a robot that can draw star wars pictures and do my homework!" well, yeah, what twelve-year-old wouldn't?

This is a REALLY good video that gets into the *specifics* of how AI is degrading our information environment and putting truth further out of reach for the average person / the population as a whole

It's terribly childish, but when everybody started using the phrase President Musk, he got the boot. IJS.

I will never not repost this

Being back in college accommodation has its advantages (I really missed having access to a tumble dryer) but fire alarm testing really isn't one of them

eight leatherbound books all titled "FERNS" volumes 1 through 8

Everyone in the past was neurotypical, which is how we got things like this single-author, eight-volume encyclopedia of ferns

I just saw someone use the abbreviation “AI;DR” and I’ll be laughing for a while.

I want more protest songs that work along the lines of sea shanties.

A simple refrain with repetition, easy to memorize. Kinda call-and-response.

Hopefully growing up with 3 is the secret to a successful tripod horse 🤞🏻🙏🏻 keep going, Rocky!

but that's not worth the cost of people using an answer-shaped-object machine as their moral support, a dating coach, etc. It's an indictment on us all for not filling that gap as humans but it doesn't make me less sad for them, or less angry with the companies pretending this is a valid alternative

A couple of fellow students brought up in conversation yesterday that they use chatGPT all the time for advice and to fill in jumping-through-hoops reflection forms, and my stomach has rarely dropped out of me quite so fast. Lord willing, AI slop will at least see the end of some of that paperwork

Also, citing sources is great and all (assuming it doesn't hallucinate them) but if you're going to have an AI cite its sources just show me the sources. I can read

Dammit, now the BSAVA has launched an accursed LLM chatbot. "... the AI equivalent of talking to a colleague about a case scenario." Except my colleagues wouldn't charge me for it, and have the experience to back it up. How long until the VDS has to defend somebody who messes up due to genAI?

"You think I'd let myself be outdone by those young things? Never!"

We should honestly start with the working assumption that the Trump administration murdered these people and buried them in a mass grave. Then, go from there. Make them prove they're alive. If they are, it should be easy to demonstrate.

Gonna go even further: don't refer to it as "consuming media" when doing this. You aren't a consumer - it's not a product. You read books. You look at art. You watch movies and/or videos. Be careful about word choice.

Reject "consume" and REJECT "CONTENT."
IT IS ART.
YOU ARE ENGAGING WITH ART.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

No seriously I keep coming back to this kind of spell for TTRPG worlds. I also want "surgical scrub", "wound prep", and a prophylactic version of "cure disease"

relatedly, I would totally swear a paladin oath to be able to lay on hands rather than spend the time suturing

who watches the watchmen? well, the clockmaker, duh. he makes watches for everyone, actually. this isn't hard.

No notes

Adobe, I just want to read this pdf about equine rectal tears, I don't need half the screen immediately filled with genAI crap

Am I a fool that my mind is a little blown?

IT Security PSA: Don't use your work account to store personal files. Don't use your work email as a recovery email for personal accounts.

I am opposed to AI products and services because of the extra power they require... IN A CLIMATE CRISIS. I am opposed to AI results - texts and illustrations - because they've been created unethically, via theft and non-consensual use of the work of others. Share if you agree.
