the word "bucolic" is so weird. it refers to a cozy farmhouse next to an apple orchard with plump speckled chickens running around in the yard, but it sounds like something that would be the cause of death of a Victorian child

This morning's quick reminder: generative AI is a natural resource-guzzling plagiarism machine that exploits creatives to enrich tech bros. Do not use it to create art or writing. Do not conduct "fun" experiments with it to show us how awful it is. There is no ethical use for AI. Let it die.

Saying that AI can "help you come up with ideas" is such a tell. I've literally never known a single creative person who has said "Wow, I wish I had more ideas". Ideas are everywhere. There is not an ideas shortage and never will be. Claiming that's the bottleneck tells me you have zero imagination.

Well damn. When I posted this story on New Year’s Day, I never imagined we’d be losing this titan of film just two weeks later. I hope wherever you are now, Mr. Lynch, your mother is there to fix you a good breakfast. #davidlynch #twinpeaks #bluevelvet
