This is your occasional reminder that generative "AI" in particular could have been developed on public domain materials and/or licensed and compensated works but the major players intentionally, methodically and systemically chose to steal labor from working creative folks instead

This is quite cool. My university is the first organisation in the world to force Microsoft to allow us to turn off copilot summaries in Word 365, after a backlash against it from staff (including, very vocally, me). That cannot have been easy for our heroic IT people so hats very much off to them!

Even as these people were calling COVID a hoax and refusing to mask they were trying to get the best medical care for themselves. Just a redux of Roy Cohn getting HIV meds for himself while queer people suffered under the Republicans he did his best to empower.

Night night sweet dreamies Some days, all you can manage is the bare minimum. And that’s okay. Choosing not to demand more of yourself in those moments isn’t giving up, it’s an act of self-compassion. Sometimes, good enough really is enough

Actually want to amplify this further--95% haven't been digitized and even beyond that, archival CATALOGUING is its own patchy horrorshow of varying strategies, standards, and funding levels. To DIGITIZE something you have to FIND IT first!

If you were making beer in Kentucky in 1779, you did not have access to the ingredients we use now. Instead, settlers used honeylocust and persimmon fruit. I have made beer according to the recipe in the linked story and it was quite good. Check out the story at Our Trees.
