How long before people learn that they can't rely on genAI to do anything important?

01.10.2025 18:24 β π 40 π 5 π¬ 3 π 0The language of non-consent around AI is really telling. "It's too late to be scared." "It's here whether we want it or not." "You'll have to learn to work with it." "You can't fight the inevitable."
All just variations of "you're not allowed to say no." Creepy technology made by creepy people.
"Only if we understand, can we care. Only if we care, we will help. Only if we help, we shall be saved."
"What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make."
Jane Goodall was the best of us.
Fingers crossed for a Red Sox/Yankee series is five 12 inning games.
No blow outs.
Only really close, really long games, with a lot of high leverage situations.

Variety article headline reads: Al Actress Tilly Norwood Draws Backlash From Melissa Barrera, Lukas Gage and More Hollywood Names as Creator Defends Her as a 'New Tool' and 'Not a Replacement for a Human Being' Image shows the AI actress, a pretty smiling brunette young woman with a child-like face. Article begins: "The creator of AI actress Tilly Norwood has released a statement following a weekend of heated backlash over the news that talent agents were already interested in signing the digital character."
Gives me the fucking creeps how these people are making fake women using AI and choose to give them extremely child-like faces. π©

If this is the last dance for Bo Bichette in Toronto, the #BlueJays need to give him a shot at writing his own ending.

A lot of folks who made "free speech" their whole bit have made it exceptionally clear that the only speech they care about keeping "free" is their own and that of those who think exactly like them

Canada Post is a lifeline for rural, remote and Northern communities and overall, we need to re-evaluate why people think they "need" random shit delivered ASAP.
βFascismβ isnβt a slur for politics we donβt like. Itβs a precise word with precise meaning. And in the face of whatβs happening right now in America, itβs the most honest one we have.

If this passes, I will order 100 "Palestine Action" T-shirts and hand them out to whoever will wear them.
I know they *say* they won't outlaw that, but that's absolutely where this is going.
Jimmy Kimmel has a LOT of powerful Hollywood friends and is very well liked in the industry.
Here's a test for all of them.
Will they stand up for Jimmy and finally speak out against Trump and MAGA's fascist march?
Or will they both sides it?
Lets see.
This is the sort of thing that should really alarm Canadians, given the bullshit rhetoric from Trump about fentanyl, etc.
They could use this exact same rationalization to bomb a Nova Scotia lobster boat, and I wouldn't put it past them by a long shot.
