I'm uncomfortable with how much I find myself agreeing with the Pope lately.

not the trans exclusionary express

AI is profoundly unpopular. A recent NBC News poll found that among 18-34 year-olds, AI's net favorability rating is -44. *Negative 44*. Those are basically serial killer numbers. It's not much better among women 18-49. (Men over 50 and upper class are the only ones who like AI, and just barely.)

No. But what would? Funding NOAA and the National Weather Service and staffing it with subject-matter experts. This kind of prediction-market “reporting” makes journalism look satirical.

I adopted Buckley a month ago. It was a little soon after losing Rufus in January but I felt like a shell of a person without a kitty friend at home. I'm glad I did it. He makes me laugh every single day. ❤️

Yes ❤️

"Someone recently remarked that using generative AI is functionally similar to gambling: you spend a token, pull the lever, hope you get the desired result, then do it again."

ARGH IT'S THIS

Bad advice!!

I don't need a summary of what's available online, in biographies, or even in my own notes. I need to comb through and find the great details, decide what interests ME. No, it's not efficient. It's slow and painstaking. But I don't believe in efficiency as an ultimate good, especially in writing. /

I am not interested in a paper written by the chatbot company that "discovers" the chatbot they make money on is actually really special and unique

Pilgrim I literally never read a prologue on principle alone. If it's that important, it should be in the book.

Doyle789 I agree completely. The epilogues and prologues aren't part of the story. If they were important they would be part of the story. People write forwards for books, that's just another person writing about what they thought about the book or author... I assume that's what author is doing in the prologue and epilogues

Erin I agree. I feel like it's stuff that wasn't good enough to be in the book 20h Reply 100

dude epilogues and prolouges to me are equivalent to dvd bonus features and are therefore skippable unless you're really into it 8h Reply • 255

I do not take booktok seriously and I never will. What the fuck you mean the epilogue and prologue “aren’t part of the book/story”???????

NYTimes Headline: The Women Who Believe That Women Should Lose the Right to Vote Subhead: Adherents to biblical patriarchy support household voting: One household, one vote--the husband's. They say the idea is catching on.

The New York Times rolling up its sleeves to do the hard work of normalizing the idea that women should not have the right to vote.

It’s wild because people will refer to the “Woke Times™️” like they were hunted through the street and whole time it was basically people asking them to reflect on their actions

My fellow writers might not want to hear this, but AI is a useful tool for certain aspects of the craft, like for instance when you’re engaged in the process of being a talentless shitbag hack who is too lazy to do any fucking writing.

“All the writers are using AI, they just don’t tell anyone.”

Okay then how the fuck do you know that? You got an AI whisper network? Is there there a lil club? What the fuck do you want from me, a little cardboard crown because you’re brave enough to admit you can’t write worth shit?

Bluesky's new AI tool Attie is already the most blocked account other than J.D. Vance | TechCrunch More than 125,000 Bluesky users have blocked Attie in just a few days, sending a strong message from the user base.

bluesky hates AI more than anything EXCEPT jd vance

wouldn't it be funny if EVERYONE blocked this Attie AI account @ bsky.app/profile/atti... before they could do anything with it

"I'm a cop, I don't understand the law" is literally one of the most on-brand things I have ever heard in my life

Press release: Originally a song by none other than Johnny Cash, "Hurt" is a dark and gritty song later emphasized again by Nine Inch Nails.

The continued attempted reputation launder of Win Butler is so gross and I refuse to fall for it.

This is exactly why I'm not taking the "resistance is futile" approach to genAI. As much as tech bros would love to, you can't force people to use tech it doesn't like. That's why no one wears Zuck's pervert glasses either.

Every thing he says is just the worst thing you’ve ever heard presented in a new way.

Grandma jailed after AI error linked her to crime in state she never visited: lawyer The charges were later dismissed after bank records showed she was in Tennessee at the time

If only a college professor could condescendingly yell at her that AI is useful, I bet she’d feel so much better about all this

Palantir CEO Alex Karp: "This technology disrupts humanity's train, largely Democratic voters, and makes their economic power less, and increases the economic power of vocationally trained, working class, often male voters. These disruptions are going to disrupt every aspect of our society."
