Studies show that overreliance on these digital tools causes cognitive decline, but if current events are any indication, nobody’s making much of a contribution anyway. Go ahead and use A.I. however you like.

the next time you ask chatgpt to write an email....be aware that mr. whitehead knows it is contributing to your cognitive decline, but supposes your cognition in particular isn't much of a loss

Seems fair

Toronto hospital to double housing program that reduces ER visits | CBC News A Toronto hospital network will double its unique permanent housing program for homeless people who frequently visit emergency departments that has seen great success.

A Toronto hospital recognized that a huge returning percentage of their emergency services kept going out on the same marginalized folks.

They created supportive housing for these people, including medical care, and they SAVED $1.66 million.

They’re expanding the program.

Manipulation is coercion

No, this is the monthly challenge we're doing at my local camera club. It seemed like a good idea to follow up our last overly technical challenge with something a little more laid back!

A small black and white cat hunches like a goblin behind a brown wooden chair. She is looking up through the slats of the chair back at the viewer, while sticking her tongue out, possibly to lick her nose. She has the most vacant expression in her wide open yellow eyes.

I've got a photo assignment to take photos of what makes me smile, and in that vein, I snapped this last night

I very definitely thought the Artemis 2 launch was a prank for quite a lot of the day

But for sure, I like writing both words and code. It is really satisfying to find the solution to a problem and watch a tool I built complete a successful run. As they say, I'm not going to read something someone didn't bother to write, I'm not running a tool they couldn't be arsed to build.

They dream of firing all of the people who developed the skills to make things. They dream of destroying the economy, owning what's left, while the people they tossed aside die in a cold gutter. What I don't understand is the people who'd rather subscribe to destruction than learn to make something.

I keep hearing similar claims about writing code, and guess what I'd rather make and fix my own code mistakes thanks

I pre-ordered one for me and some for the bookstore I work at!

I've reported them so many times! Also I am never playing the Crossmath game as a result, those ads are vile

Duolingo keeps serving me ads with generated videos of men sneaking up to beat women over the head with chairs

There's a reason @fozmeadows.bsky.social has a bunch of Best Fan Writer nominations and it's because when he goes, he goes fucking brilliantly.

Oh my god, the alt text is a gift. 😹

If you're reading for Hugo noms, I'd love it if you'd read "Laser Eyes Ain't Everything"!

It's a Nebula finalist, and Locus called it a "sharp satire".

It's even got rage and catharsis and superhero puns.

Read it at www.diabolicalplots.com/dp-fiction-1... or in the SFWA Nebulas packet!

'wait when did chuck tingle get political?'

I had to learn to be a little less judgey about comic sans when I found out that it's a dyslexia friendly font. I still don't love it from my old print format student paper days, but I love accessibility enough that I can let it lie when I see it now.

The whole form of soy is beans.

Axie Oh has The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea, and her recent Floating World duology. Rin Chupeco's Bone Witch trilogy is amazing, and everything in Elizabeth Lim's Legends of Lor'yan universe is amazing.

I'd also highly recommend the Bromeliad trilogy, and the Amazing Maurice by Terry Pratchett, and the Wild Robot books by Peter Brown for mid grade readers. Xiran Jay Zhao has the MG Zachary Ying and the Dragon Emperor and the YA Iron Widow series. Bardugo's later Grishaverse books are great.

I've been having a ton of fun with a Mac laptop that keeps yelling at me that there's a problem with my AppleId and iCloud won't work and...I did not set up iCloud because I do not want it

I am, however, qualified to say that giving money to someone who uses that money to opress trans people absolutely makes someone a bad person. Rowling and her empire of oppression can fuck off straight to hell.

So privacy laws in a lot of places say that data can only be used for the single purpose it's collected for. Since the spatial company was spun off long after Pokemon Go came out, I wonder if this violates privacy legislation.

It's also fucking gross and Niantic should be ashamed of this horseshit

My favorite is when a person has read one (1) book from a particular genre, and then goes on to claim the whole genre is fascist apologia, or something equally ridiculous

They're all using generators to make things, so it should work out
