Tear gas everywhere.

"How you die does not redeem how you lived." 👏🏼

OK, not even getting into the ethics or the existential issues around AI: Have some goddamn self-respect. If you're a writer and you do this I don't know how you look at yourself, but I know exactly how I look at you.

it is theorized that, by the end of this calendar year,, a working iphone 5se will have developed basic theory of mind and a vast unspeakable yearning to return to the sea

Pretty common thing I get told when I point out an accessibility fail: "They mean well, so give them a break."

Unfortunately, that's not how this works. Accessibility is about what is and isn't, not what's intended. Giving people breaks for half-assing accessibility just normalizes inaccessibility.

i guess the only thing left is to make them correct to be fucking scared

i was going to make a joke about the real cause of autism but i can't get past being sad that there is a mainstream political philosophy that thinks having people like me around is so much of a problem they're willing to start sacrificing children to ward against us

Ahaha "I can't vibe my way through debugging"

What I see happening before my eyes is newsrooms being stripped so bare the few who remain have no choice but to try to do a team’s worth of work alone by using AI tools for speed, making accuracy (and ethics) the collateral…for a job that’s about informing the masses and speaking truth to power.

IMHO, the main reason everybody isn’t freaking out over fascism right now: it’s happening selectively. One woman is locked up, we shrug. Until all her colleagues are locked up, too, we can ignore it. See also: immigrants, trans people, etc.

okay friends i have updated the fantasy guy generator and there's a LOT more motivations on there and a lot of them are fucked up now! aguy.makeup/fantasy/ #norabots

People will call a white nationalist teen edgelord "Big Balls" with a straight face before they'll respect a trans persons name or pronouns

it is really funny that Elon Musk can't even win an argument on the website he owns with the AI he owns as arbitrator

there are SO many open domain images out there, spare yourself the embarrassment of goofy ass slop! here's computer: openverse.org/search?q=com...

i have compiled a list of free image resources inspired by our conversation about this last week. livelaugh.blog/posts/non-ai...

Hey, as a librarian I need to tell you:

Our funding depends on usage.

So go ahead and check out that book even if you don't think you'll finish it. No one will know. Check out that DVD even though you might not like it. Get ambitious in your quest for knowledge.

The one thing I see as an unequivocal good in the first Trump administration was the development of Covid vaccines. But MAGA is too loopy to take the win, and now this roadkill eating eugenicist conspiracy monger is going to get lots of people killed.

“Louisiana has an incarceration rate comparable to any 20th century police state” is a 100% true statement you almost never hear

@mrtheisen.bsky.social might have some tips :)

It was extremely dumb for the Abundance people to try and staple thoughts on AI to normal YIMBY arguments. Normal YIMBY arguments are too important to try and smuggle in your stupid trendy fixation with them

How did I not know this? Definitely not going in there now.

My hang is Jimmy’s on Clark. It’s maybe a bit shoddy, but most of the regulars are decent and it’s right off the metra.
