Something so weirdly offensive about crashing your trash into the moon. Like, that's our moon. If it belongs to anyone, it belongs to all of us.

Ea-Nasir as a meme is so funny to me, imagine a client sends you a pissy email and as a result, MILLENIA later, future people wielding sorcerous, unfathomable technology use it to clown on your ass
But if you go down the LLM road, you are bound to that path. If the tech bros who own that LLM begin charging thousands of $ a month to use their program, you're facing a major gatekeeper. And yes, once our current AI bubble breaks the subsidized cost of using LLMs is going to skyrocket. 4/
Right now anyone can learn to write or create art. The price of admission is incredibly, super-duper low. Don't have a computer? You can write or draw on paper. Yes, it takes time to learn how to tell good stories or create compelling art, but there is no gatekeeper. 3/
Time to bring back this meme I made a while back. If being against generative AI in the arts is gatekeeping, then I guess I’m a proud gatekeeper.
Because it apparently needs to be said: I have never fucking used the AI/LLM/chatbot/plagiarism machine and I never fucking will. If you use it, I think you're a bad person.
zombie movie where one of the survivors is the pope. it's not a plot point, there's just like a doctor, a lawyer, etc holed up in a building and also one of the guys is the pope. the other people aren't catholic so it doesn't really matter that he's the pope. but he is, and he's wearing the hat
Phone bank in Jamaica Plain, community social in Roslindale planned to help Haitians facing loss of, well, everything www.universalhub.com/2026/phone-b... #Boston #immigrants
At this point you cannot convince me that these AI psychos aren't purposely forcing this shit into everything to fry people's brains beyond any recovery
Joseph CoxNew from 404 Media: Google Earth has introduced an AI feature that lets anyone fabricate completely bullshit satellite images. In our own tests, we added a “bomb blast and crater” to an area of Los Angeles. This is a misinformation time bomb, will 100% be abused www.404media.co/google-earth...
In the European Middle Ages, moneyed people would grind up pearls --precious pearls, beautiful lustrous pearls, slowly formed by creatures from distress and effort-- stir them into wine, drink it and use it as a laxative. I can think of no better metaphor for LLM 'AI'.
So...the book was worth $2.5million...but the bidders hadn't actually read the manuscript?? the agents hadn't read it? How tf do you get to a 14-way auction for millions and *then* turn round to say "terrible prose, reads like slop"?
Lincoln Michel👀 Fascinated by the "withdrawn by its agents" detail. So the AI use was so blatant that the agents due a huge payday preemptively withdrew the contract?

At last we have an answer to the seminal question of our time, and it is: R:162, G:201, B:201
enjoying the hell out of interview with the vampire while watching people who read the books have screaming meltdowns over changes has been a trip
ZitoI’m going to write an essay about not caring about adaptations are faithful retelling of the books, because what I’m more interested in is what the writers and directors can do with it. Literary nerds making that complaint is as annoying as comic book nerds whine about it.
You can kill a French vampire with a baguette. It's a painstaking process but it works.
