What boggles me the most about people using LLMs to brainstorm or write stories is that they're skipping the fun part of the process. That's the good stuff! I see something amazing in my mind that's unlike anything anyone else sees & I craft it using words my unique lived experience has taught me

I teach a game writing class. Students have scripts, worldbuilding docs, treatments, etc due every week About half the class used ChatGPT last semester even though I made it clear using an LLM = an F. When I asked why a studio would ever hire them if their work was just ChatGPT, they seemed stunned

1. Florida banned cities from lighting up bridges rainbow colors for Pride. So the people of Jacksonville did it themselves using flashlights and gels. They opened the drawbridge to block them. So they marched to a different bridge. The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Every driver who hates public transit should be lobbying their representatives for more public transit funding - so they don't have to sit in traffic! Assuming 80% of BART's trips are 9-5ish commuters and a 2-hour rush-hour (7-9am, 5-7pm), you'd need around 35 highway lanes to replace BART 🛣️ 🚊

Racists are so fucking weird. Nobody's making you eat the Costco frozen gimbap. You don't have to have a perfect, simple, delicious food if you don't want it. You can just die mad in a pool of plain saltine crackers and leave yummy food for the rest of us.

there’s a valuable lesson here for democrats in that voters want politicians to be bold and clearly stand FOR SOMETHING but i have a feeling democrats will continue opening TACO trucks in front of the white house or begging for war with iran instead sadly

Looks like Universal, Warner, and Sony are all selling out their artists and licensing their music catalogues to AI companies. The same companies they sued for copyright infringement. When execs smell money don't expect them to protect your rights.

At the end of the day, this is the President of the United States targeting, harassing and bullying a single individual 16-year-old girl for winning a track meet. The disgusting absurdity of that is only beaten out by how brave AB Hernandez is. She's got more guts than any politician today.

Y’know, 🌈 Pride Month can be nice, but it can also be a time of extra hell for queer creators. Spotlights on their work inevitably also attract hateful comments. If you enjoy a queer creator’s work, you can help by leaving good comments or reviews. Even if it’s a small thing, it helps!

Pride is all about inclusion… but any event without masking is not inclusive of disabled and chronically ill people. Mask up for Pride! Make it fun! Get a mask chain or colourful stickers. Now more than ever we must protect one another, and masking is community care.
