Friends don’t let friends participate in AI “art” trends without giving them at least a little shit. If your friend had spinach in their teeth you’d tell them. This is the spinach-in-teeth of art. Also? AI art is BAD for the environment, in terms of energy use, water use, and other resources!!

wrong. Appeasing means more gets demanded. “You get the aid when trans people lose “x”. “ Next time it’s another demand. In short order the evil is steady state, and you’re worse off than not bending the knee would have left you.

Just blocked an AI apologist. He wasn't replying to me, just to someone I read. Lesson: people take note of your antics. And act accordingly.

On a recent flight my seatmates learned I was a writer and asked my opinion on AI. They didn't understand genAI is based on work stolen from authors, and they DEFINITELY didn't know about the energy costs. Both shocked them. People just don't know.

NEW: I confirmed w/ CBP that the email @nicolemicheroni.bsky.social receive telling her to self-deport is real, not a scam. It's also is very weird and likely causing fear and chaos. I spoke w/ Micheroni—a US citizen and immigration attorney—about her experience. www.wired.com/story/homela...

i have argued before that MAGA is recapitulating antebellum pro-slavery ideas about citizenship and bodily autonomy. one thing i am also thinking about, when it comes to the rendition of people to a foreign gulag, is the way it is reminiscent of the kidnapping of free blacks for sale into slavery

Ah, life is sweet sometimes - a local friend gives us lifts to places like specialist food supermarkets. Today it was the Asian one, and after a thoroughly pleasant time of shopping in our chaotic way, on our way back, the car radio played The Proclaimers' 500 Miles. 😆 OF COURSE WE SANG ALONG.

Really lovely charity auction at #Conpulsion last night. Nearly £4000 raised for "Empty Kitchens, Full Hearts", a local Edinburgh charity. You can find out more about them here - www.emptykitchens.co.uk

Further proof that declining birth rates will stabilize, so instead of (almost always racist/misogynist) pronatalist nonsense, we should be providing more support for all kids/families while not penalizing ppl who don’t have kids, and improve economic restructuring for lower birthrates.

Reminding them that they're also weird is pretty effective.
