Opinion | Don’t Use A.I. to Do This

Read this from @colsonwhitehead.com because it's funny & true & because, alas, it's not enough to oppose AI, you have to fortify that opposition frequently, because it's like Invasion of the Body Snatchers, friends and comrades are going down all around us. Gift: www.nytimes.com/2026/04/15/o...

Three panel comic. Panel 1: at a house party, a guy is standing next to his buddy, a human-size horseshoe crab. They’re both holding red solo cups. The guy is looking to the other side of the room and excitedly says to the crab, “hey, there’s another horseshoe crab here!” The crab replies, “ugh.” Panel 2: the guy says, “what’s wrong?” The crab says, “he’s one of those guys who flaunts it too much.” Panel 3: we see the other horseshoe crab in question, engaged in conversation with a group of smiling people standing around him. This second horseshoe crab is wearing a cap with a horseshoe on it, and a novelty t-shirt that reads: I SURVIVED 5 MASS EXTINCTIONS. IS IT FRIDAY YET?

Drawing of a long-legged crab titled "arthropod". Below it is a nearly identical drawing titled "anthropod," where the crab has human legs and hands instead of crabby limbs.

just had a thought...

Earth appearing as a bright crescent behind the Moon’s surface

OH. MY. GOD.

THIS IS THE EARTHSET PHOTO FROM ARTEMIS II. IM SPEECHLESS.

💫

Gouache and pencil on aqua board!

Earth and Moon from DSCOVR NASA's Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC) aboard the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) satellite captured this unique view of the Moon as it…

Some discussion on Artemis II broadcast about how dark the Moon is compared to Earth. Here's a really nice look at the two together from the same camera -- the Moon isn't white, it's dark brown www.planetary.org/space-images...

Reid Wiseman on #Artemis II: "We have Earth out window 4 and Moon out window 3... the Moon is about 3-4 times the size of the Earth and it is almost full, and the Earth is just a small crescent out there... it's magnificent... such a majestic view out here"

Mission Control: "Amaze, amaze, amaze!"

The fact people will lie about using AI says to me they know deep-down it’s an embarrassing shame they’re just too lazy to try otherwise

I keep seeing "all authors use AI, the real issue is they're being forced to be sneaky about it" headlines.

Full stop No. This is a lie peddled for normalization. It's schoolyard-level pressure tactics "C'mon, all the cool kids are already doing it. We won't tell. It's fine. We're on your side."

"Humanity's next great voyage begins" #Artemis

T-5 minutes now! #Artemis

BREAKING: NASA is just moments away from sending astronauts on a moon mission for the first time since 1972.

Artemis II will launch from Kennedy Space Center in Florida, circling the Moon and returning to Earth on a 10-day mission.

I can't get over people whining, "But what if I'm baaaad at that?!" in response to everyone telling them not to outsource their creativity to fucking AI. Who raised you? What did they teach you? Fuck all, apparently, because being shit at something isn't an excuse to cheat. Come on.

Oh is it science-fiction-shouldn't-be-political-o'clock again already?

It is. It always is. Writing is. Writing is a political act.

Possibly why tech bros want to take it away from us.

Keep writing. The madder the better. You mightn't hear the song you're putting out but others will.

It was mediocre since it dropped, and then got even worse, and any money it generates goes directly into the pockets of a bigot. Nothing redeemable about it at this point.

I generally don’t judge people for their tastes, but for those who still like Harry Potter I make the exception.

okay so AI is absolutely cratering imminently and I need all of you to PROMISE me you won't take the high road, and will laugh and rub it in their faces as much as possible. I need you to laugh and go 'WE TOLD YOU SO, BITCH" at every opportunity, PLEASE be extremely mean and ruthless

I just assume every book with an AI cover is AI-written as well

The staggeringly fabulous cover for CE Murphy's BONE & BLOOD, a retelling of "Snow White, Rose Red" features two women standing back to back: one is garbed all in blood red, with dark red hair and a black mask; the other wears flowing white, with wheat-pale hair and a glittering mask. Cover art & design by Ravven.

Optical illusion of a woman bent over some papers. Her sunglasses are pushed up and she is wearing a hair band so the top of her head looks exactly like a Muppet face

Sorry I know the world is in a terrible fix but I've been laughing at this for ten minutes now
