I think I might take one of these "under 20 minutes" AI skills courses the UK Govt. seems very keen on everyone doing and live-post it here... Maybe we can all learn something together! The press release sends me to aiskillshub.org.uk/aiskillsboost/ - let's go and see!

In a world of AI slop shortcuts in gaming, I am reminded that for The Friends of Ringo Ishikawa, the developer's 60 year old father learned pixelart in MSPaint to help make the game

If it matters enough to you, you can always learn too, even at 60

A teen wizard runs a magic makeup business with resources from his Fae, Merfolk and Undead friends. When he learns someone is stealing these same items–and there’s a link to his missing dads–he must find the thief or risk losing his friends, his business and the chance to find his parents #DVPit #GN

The mock bigotry against AI trend on TikTok quickly escalated into people using it as a smoke screen to be racist to Black people.

It’s easier to dismiss valid critique as disingenuous on here because you assume the only people making the critique are white.

a man says let 's think critically in a blue shirt Alt: a man says “let 's think critically.”

The problem with white people creating slurs for AI.

The entire selling point of AI is that it does jobs that people do and even simulates human behavior, but doesn’t have to be treated like a person (time off, wages, human rights, etc).

This replicates a servant/enslaved class. That’s the appeal

Thank youuuu 💖
