My Q1 reading - all wrapped up amysbooksnthings.tumblr.com/post/7799163... #BookSky

One of my favorite reads in March - go snag this deal

every once in a while i'm struck with how deeply obscene it is that in the face of global warming, our biggest corporations & political leaders are pushing so hard for LLMs and generative "A.i." in everything, when that trash not only spreads bullshit but also wastes massive amounts of energy

As a former Pre-K teacher I always loved this time of year. Especially the "moving up" ceremony

AI doesn't make life easier. It steals, lies, and wastes natural resources.

Sale ends Monday night!! Don’t miss out!

There’s no such thing as A.I “art.” It’s a soulless amalgamation of plagiarised data. That is the antithesis of art.

Hi! It’s me, with a periodic reminder that I will never join a paid tier of any Substack, by any creator, because Substack platforms and promos white supremacy. If you’re in #Romancelandia & you’re trying to get me to subscribe, you’re gonna have to switch to a different platform.

Peace Love Baby - this editable invitation template is so fun

More details on the missing non-verbal child:

This is Butterfly. She was living outside with crippling arthritis and a mass on her stomach. Her owner selflessly surrendered her so she could receive the treatment she desperately needs. You can donate to her care, which includes surgery and lifelong medication below ❤️‍🩹 15outof10.org/butterfly

If you use or defend the use of generative AI - block me. Now. It’s the armpit of humanity and I’m disgusted by those who refuse to listen when we show receipt after receipt that it’s STOLEN FROM ARTISTS AND WRITERS AND KILLING THE PLANET. I have no respect for you if you use it.

This book is fantastic!

There is literally no ethical use of genAI. 🔥 It's built on theft. 🔥 It consumes vast environmental resources. 🔥 It consumes vast financial resources to support it. No company currently touting their "ethical" genAI has attempted to address all three. Once they do then MAYBE a discussion begins.

a cage full of shaved men in bunks stacked up to the ceiling is the modern day death camp. they are invoking the cruelty, the sadism, the AESTHETICS of Nazism and turning it against young Latino men. it is disgusting and it offends me in my deepest self.
