Joep Schuurkes On the acceptance of GenAI Joep Schuurkes — 5 April 2026 By using GenAl: • I accept the models were trained on stolen data. • I accept that the data was labeled by exploited workers. • I accept the environmental costs of the data centers running these models. • I accept that I am outsourcing some of my skills to a company. • I accept these companies don't have a viable business model. • I accept that I am granting more power to big tech and their vision for the world. • I accept that I am granting more power to the United States. • I accept that all this effort could have spent elsewhere

"He Can't Do That" and the Death of Democracy.

There is a non-zero chance Trump will use nukes.

Perhaps our democracy wasn't designed to deal with a complicit Congress capitulating to a new King. Nonetheless we must find a way to stop him.

Someone was trying to take a portrait of their two fave Chickens, and this happened.

Nearly twice as old as the dinosaurs, horseshoe crabs have been crawling ashore for over 450 million years.
