Really disappointing from the Society of Authors in “we’ll only use GenAi in a nice way” charter which ignores the original sin of GenAI being trained on authors and creatives work without consent, credit or compensation

Hey human meat bags you should all retrain as plumbers as that’s the one job AI/SI/robots will never get the hang of. Second #cartoon of the weekend comps with caption “we should have got a tradesman”. In case anyone takes this seriously I have no idea if robot tradesman will be a thing
We should have got a tradesman says robot 01 to robot 10 while typing how stop leak into some AI and the leak continues as robot 10 hits it with a hammer

Have you tried the puppy dog eyes they always work on me

#goshbfdd round 2 the contract said three rounds of revisions so decide if it’s doughnuts, donuts, dough or whatever @brokenfrontier.bsky.social
Douglas doughnuts - too much
Dougies donuts - make it simpler
