a woman is talking to a man and asking why can 't one part of the calculation of our eternal fate be easy

and as the good place taught us: we are the sum of our choices. i'm not vegan/vegetarian, but i do choose to eat less meat and the less common cuts (manager's special ftw). being vege-only is a much more complicated lifestyle change than simply not using AI. we already lived so long without it!

Former Moderator Sues Chaturbate for 'Psychological Trauma'
“Without these safeguards, Mr. Barber eventually developed full-blown PTSD, which he is currently still being treated for,” the former mod's lawyer said.
its crazy to me to have these conversations comparing a chatgpt request vs. a google search vs. the water usage of creating a hamburger, and then set aside all ethical considerations of labor & trauma that goes into taxonomizing & moderating these datasets: www.404media.co/former-moder...

i feel like many recent bunker stories are the wealthy escaping to these havens. especially with influences such as altered carbon where the rich live above and away from the crisis, but it is more an indicator of class than anything else (including of the author)

A water color map with a bunch a red pins. One popup displays a flash fiction disaster story:
Akron, Ohio
Monday, September 6, 2027
"It's hotter than Hades," they say. They're right. Hades is the devil's icebox compared to this. The tracks near Akron buckle, a sun kink it's called, derailing a freight train carrying chlorine and ethanol. The ambient sound of ten thousand HVACs washes over the land.
While at #ELO25 I’m launching a new online project. Here is “No Time to Discourse”—a speculative atlas of future climate disaster. Millions of (non-AI) procedurally generated flash fiction disaster stories. And they all hit a little too close to home these days. notime.now

I don’t think we want a world where a few oligarchs can influence our beliefs very heavily, including in subtle ways by shaping what their social media sites do, where they can plagiarize anything without consequence, where they can defame anybody without consequence. We don’t allow that with people. With people, we say, “Well, you’re infringing on this person’s copyright, you’re defaming them, this is hate speech.” And yet, because machines aren’t clearly people, and because the laws were designed before machines like this were widespread, there are a lot of holes in the current legal structure that basically let the companies get away with anything they want. Every effort to hold them liable, whether for smaller things — like defaming an individual — or larger things — like conceivably giving rise to some cyber-attack that takes out the infrastructure for the entire United States for five days or whatever. They have resisted having any liability whatsoever.
