HELLO

this is TREMENDOUSLY true

Obvious ai manipulation on the left. Original photo by David Batcheller on the right. Look at the wings, feather shape, head, neck and bill shape, lack of tail etc. This is way more than a filter and absolutely destroys the joy and wonder of the original.

So loads of people are sharing an obvious ai "glow up" of an actual photo. I never share ai stuff even to dunk, but in this case I'm sharing a comparison to show the problem. We have to stand against this slop at every level or it becomes normalised. They want us to stop caring. See alt text.

Like are you worried your roomba is so good at vacuuming that it might have feelings? That's what this is.

Stop this! Stop doing this stupid shit! It's language-generating code, that's it!

I really thought I'd built an appropriate tolerance for self-promo amid the horrors, and yet! I feel weird sharing this! And yet! The show goes on! jaimegreen.net/classes

from time to time I consider that basically everything with a spine likes being pet, and due to the vagaries of hand evolution Team Human has the best petters in the game

This War Will Destabilize The Entire Mideast Region And Set Off A Global Shockwave Of Anti-Americanism vs. No It Won’t George W. Bush may think that a war against Iraq is the solution to our problems, but the reality is, it will only serve to create far more.

Please leave me and this cookies and costumes holiday out of this you freaks

Siiiiiiighhhhhhh. I'm writing about this in my book but it's so much more goddamn urgent than that.

Eva is the best, and has helped me to a tiny version of my own cooking-for-my-community up here, please shoot her a few bucks

idk if this is just the angle, but one's face says "bloop" and the other's says "borzoi"

This is so lovely

this is so beautiful, I'm so honored to have had anything to do with it

Onfim’s drawing of himself on horseback as a warrior defeating an enemy.

Two of Onfim’s works. On the left is a copy of a passage from the Book of Psalms he did for schoolwork. On the right is an apparently autobiographical depiction of a monster labeled with “I am a wild beast.”

Some more spelling practice by Onfim with some human figures who have round heads and varying numbers of fingers on their big hands.

Onfim’s writing practice accompanied by 7 little people in his particular drawing style, who tend to have very big hands with many fingers.

Nice AI-image-generating tool, but it will never be as great an artist as Onfim, a child who lived in the Novgorod Republic in the mid-1200s and who scribbled these drawings and schoolwork writings on birch bark at the age of 6 or 7.

When the idea resolved itself into an overarching concept and a structure of chapters. but also I’ve literally always wanted to write a book, not a blog or newsletter, so that’s how I wanted my big ideas to take shape

I think one difference from climate change is that “AI“ means so many different things. A scientist might love it for the possibilities of data analysis and discovery. A writer might see it as built on plagiarism and deadening thought. A google user might just be annoyed at the intrusions & bad info

saw the video of hegseth “benching 315” and he obviously isn’t?

Absolute shocker of a rights grab - academics may want to push back hard

“But Where’s Its Anus?” On How We Imagine Alien Lifeforms I first read Carl Sagan’s Contact and Cosmos in high school, when I was working at a bookstore that let us borrow any book we had at least two copies of on the shelves. I loved them then and was ex…

Yeah definitely

Thinking about this more, the problem would have been solved with a first line that does the work of the hed. Like, "When a child dies of measles, this is how it can go." Put the whole piece after that and it's still 99% as powerful, 100% less potentially misleading.
