The only thing I can be sure of is that he is a dick.

I apologize for this asshole. We Minnesotans are generally embarrassed by Emmer.

Resist AI! The ethical, environmental and human costs need to be understood far better than they are right now.

Filmmaker Guillermo del Toro says 'I'd rather die' than use generative AI Del Toro's new Frankenstein adaption reimagines Mary Shelley's 1818 Gothic novel. Frankenstein was like a tech bro: "creating something without considering the consequences," he explains.

Thank you @realgdt.bsky.social. We should all resist AI. Your films are perfect without such gimmicks.

We must resist AI. Accuracy is one reason, but also for environmental and ethical reasons.

The ethical issues of AI should be enough to make us all pause and consider whether it's worth it. Avoid AI.

We were at the Minneapolis - Nokomis protest. Everyone was in fine spirits. A joyous occasion.

In other words, don't look at what the right-wingers are doing. Everything is fine there, all evidence to the contrary notwithstanding.

Hamas perpetrated a horrific attack. Trump backed Israel in creating catastrophic conditions in Gaza and now take a victory lap to celebrate the carnage. Should anyone get credit for any of this?

The Peace Prize committee should put out a new rule. If anyone publicly says that they should get the Peace Prize, then they are disqualified. Then they might not have to endure all of Trump's bullshit.

Well sure if you put it like that, it sounds kinda bad. ☺️ There is no bottom with this regime.

Resist AI. The environmental costs, the flood of money to billionaires, the utter disregard for intellectual property rights and other ethical issues should get all of us to question the underpinnings of AI. Turn it off whenever possible. Avoid the slop.

We should sllooowww down on AI adoption or stop altogether until we deal with the power consumption issue, the subsidies going to billionaires, the intellectual property ramifications and other ethical considerations.

That's the thin end of the wedge though. 25%of Virginia's electrical generation is for data centers driven by AI to a large extent. We are going to to be paying through the nose to support the AI billionaires.
