I felt this in depths of my soul that I didn't know existed.

I would not listen to Tim. I once saw him deposit a clutch of glistening eggs from his ovipositor.

The confusion and conflation of ‘generative ai that is built on stolen artwork’ and ‘machine learning, character behaviour modelling and proc gen’ is intentional on the part of the grifters peddling the former. They benefit from murkiness of classification, because the latter predates their bollocks

it's crazy to use AI in CONCEPT ART bcuz it will never be able to CREATE its own CONCEPTS. so not only are you saying you're too lazy to pay someone or to do the work yourself, you're also saying your okay with building all of your shit on unoriginal ideas and almagamation of existing work.

Generative AI: worsen your reputation and mildly lower your productivity in one easy step.

I just find this really sad. Imagine being so certain that you need slop machines to do your work, that you convince yourself that EVERYBODY must need them.

So many people are self sabotaging by deskilling via this nonsense right now. Want an edge in 2027? Don’t build reliance on bad tools into your process in 2025.

I think if I were going to send an angry email to someone smarter than me, I would give it AT LEAST a once over to proofread it.

Speaking as someone who has been around large concentrations of Trek fans there are not only tons of women who love Trek and can recite it chapter & verse across multiple series, but the vast majority of Trek fans that critique do so on creative grounds, not “because woke”

*gasp*

Well don't I feel stupid

It Is Journalism’s Sacred Duty To Endanger The Lives Of As Many Trans People As Possible

M365 Copilot fails to up productivity in UK government trial : AI tech shows promise writing emails or summarizing meetings. Don't bother with anything more complex

Two trials will be repeated endlessly despite always producing the same results:

1) Does UBI work? (yes)
2) Does AI improve productivity? (no)

It was always true, but now fully undeniable that their principle role is to take up space and prevent a viable and actual party to the left gaining a foothold. You know, radical leftists ideas like opposing genocide and leaving trans people alone for a bit.

Everyone in uk politics gestures to the left of their actual position (tories dress as centrists, labour dress as the left, Lib Dems run around in circles hoping someone will love them) but labour has absolutely dropped the last shred of pretence, impossible to turn a blind eye to it. Suicidal.

starmer is doing all the anti-immigrant and anti-trans "popularism" stuff the centrists are demanding US dems do and this is the predictable result:

Rowling could've lived in her castle and tweeted "Hagrid wants you to brush your teeth and have a happy St. Swithin's Day!" a few times a year and HP would've had the same legacy as Pooh or Middle-earth, but she consciously chose Evil For Evil's Sake like a badly written children's fantasy villain

When Michael Jordan felt boxed in by his success in basketball he tried baseball. When Gary Brooks became synonymous with country he created Chris Gaines. And when JK Rowling created the most successful kids books of all time she reinvented herself as a petty, weirdo transphobia influencer.

Yes

My sister THE MAYOR OF BERKELEY hosted our family reunion so I made a shirt to explain my role in our familial unit.
See:
-The mayor gave a chartered bus tour of her city, then helped cook breakfast for 50 people while on a zoom.
-I found a decomposing wild turkey carcass & poked it with a stick.

The problem is we aren't getting our news from reputable sources, like the newsboy shouting "extra! extra!"

"But the marketplace of ideas..."

If someone turns up to your marketplace selling poisoned apples, you don't sit back and trust in market forces, you send that Disney villain packing asap.
