The image is of a four panel comic.
In the first panel we see Sarah, the protagonist, next to a stick figure labeled “AI”. The stick figure says, “my outputs look just like yours now.”
The second panel zooms in on Sarah’s face. Above her we see text reading “I think”.
The third panel zooms in closer on Sarah’s face. Text above her reads “you missed”.
The fourth panel shows Sarah drawing happily in a sunlit room. The text above her reads “the point”.

Here's how to turn off the Gen-AI training on Twitch. Step 1. Go to Account Settings. Step 2. Go to Security & Privacy. Step 3. Scroll all the way down till you see "Training for Generative AI". Step 4. Turn that son of a bitch off forever. Step 5. Profit. Hope this helps anyone! ❤️

"AI cannot take responsibility, and we can't trust heavy users of AI to understand their code enough to fix it." @godotengine.org gets it. 👍

Open source game engine Godot will no longer accept AI-authored code contributions: 'We can't trust heavy users of AI to understand their code enough to fix it'
At risk of drowning in AI slop code, Godot is firming up its contribution requirements.

May the Fourth be with you! Comic inspired by a thought: There are humans in the Star Wars galaxy, how did they get there? #comic #StarWarsDay #stargate #maythefourth
A 3 panel comic:
1) "Hey, have we ever noticed this glyph?" Samantha Carter asks the rest of SG-1 about something on the stargate
2) "Huh...wonder where that one goes?" Closeup of the gate showing the Old Republic symbol from Star Wars
3) "Utinni!" Jawas steal the MALP as soon as it comes out of the activated stargate

The reason why RAM has become four times more expensive is that a huge amount of RAM that has not yet been produced was purchased with non-existent money to be installed in GPUs that also have not yet been produced, in order to place them in data centers that have not yet been built, powered by infrastructure that may never appear, to satisfy demand that does not actually exist and to obtain profit that is mathematically impossible

➡️NEWS FLASH! Newscaster: ”In Western Hemisphere news, security forces of a peace-loving democracy invaded a neighbouring country & arrested its corrupt dictatorial leader.” Trump, being held by two RCMP officers: “Let go of me! This is a total witch hunt!” Canadian RCMP officer: “Come along, eh!”
A 2-frame color cartoon:
(TOP) A male newscaster sits at his desk in a TV newsroom, map of the world behind him with the word, “NEWS”, superimposed. He is reading from a sheet of paper he holds in his hands: “In Western Hemisphere news, security forces of a peace-loving democracy invaded a neighbouring country and arrested its corrupt dictatorial leader.”
(BOTTOM) Trump, dressed in his blue suit and red tie, shouts, “Let go of me! This is a total witch hunt!”, as two Canadian RCMP officers, wearing their tan-red-white uniforms and each holding one of Trump’s arms, tussle with and drag him across the ground, as one officer shouts, “Come along, eh!" Their police car with lightbar on top is parked behind them, blue sky above.
