Refusing to accept big tech's AI-poisoned 'future of journalism' Humans, however flawed, are

New — I wrote about how journalists proudly using AI to help them write their stories obscures the deeply human process that makes journalism a societal necessity, and one that feeds the soul of those who create it.

Hope you’ll give it a read. I promise I wrote the whole thing.

This is just “I don’t like my job or my audience”. I’m sure they convinced themselves it was a quirky hook to get clicks but omg what an obnoxious idea.

Excuse me??!! I know publicity interviews are repetitive, but I still expect the publication to speak to the subject. Just repackage a series of quotes from other publications then (they never would, which is telling).

Actually I love this one! I do like rocks, but moreover pretty colors and I could find a shirt that’s a color other than white to match so wins practical points too
(and fwiw if you ever can bring back miniskirts I’d pretty much buy any design 🤣)

Oh no! Please take care of yourself, that’s not one to mess around with. Nowhere near as fun as wrangling cows

This is so extremely accurate because I just had to Google to confirm she still wrote books because I was so surprised. 🤣

I haven’t watched Stranger Things since like Season 2 (I am not one to care about spoilers) but I thought this was a great essay about writing and storytelling - and about audiences.

Journalist challenge: Use “Machine Learning” when you mean machine learning and “LLM” when you mean LLM. Ditch “AI” as a catch-all term, it’s not useful for readers and it helps companies trying to confuse the public by obscuring the roles played by different technologies. 🧪

‘It's Just a Mess:' 23 People Explain How Tariffs Have Suddenly Ruined Their Hobby "The real kick in the teeth is no matter how much manufacturing is brought back to the US these items will never be made in the USA. There is no upside."

"The real kick in the teeth is no matter how much manufacturing is brought back to the US these items will never be made in the USA. There is no upside."

As we predicted, the end of de minimis has made every hobby that requires the purchase of items more expensive.

The Real Future of AI Is Ordering Mid Chicken at Bojangles This month I ordered a meal at the Bojangles drive-thru in South Carolina, which is now using AI. This is how AI becomes the background noise of the world.

I don’t understand why the threat of “withholding his support” scares Republicans. It didn’t seem like his endorsement guaranteed wins in the past. Is this because he controls the purse strings for the RNC or something?

Er, by which I meant I’m not sure I want to use Bluesky like Twitter. Whoops! Bad wording lol

I get the impression it has to do with the notifications somehow? I used Twitter a lot before, but am not sure I want to use it again. But I probably would have kept this username for the flashes acct if I’d known ahead of time!

One complication is that they recommend having a dedicated Bluesky acct for photos b/c they link the two accts somehow.

I am running a flash sale in my shop for the next few days. I would like to invest in some new art courses this year and hope to do so through this sale, as well as help fund travel expenses for upcoming events. I appreciate all sales and shares more than you know.
