I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

Apparently I wrote a comic about AI about fourteen years ago. Pretty accurate.
A comic about AI from 2012. The post beneath it read: "I have gazed out into the quantum threads of our mutual future and seen what it will bring: Artificially intelligent dating advisors. It’s an inevitability. Maybe they live on your phone! Maybe they live in a corpse. The future’s so bright!"

I will say it is funny watching OpenAI boast about solving a complex math problem using millions of dollars of compute (and someone else’s work) all while remaining unable to solve the most obvious math problem (how to make their services profitable)

As devs don't make any real effort to fight against the normalization of AI in game development ("oh I hate it for graphics but I use it for coding!"), it's going to become prestigious amongst players to play old games made before the 2020s and make a point not to play/seek new games.

Astrophotographer Adam (AJ) Smadi caught this image a few hours ago from Washington state. A thin crescent Moon, sunlight illuminating the rugged lunar surface. And 2,400 times farther away—and on the other side of the Sun—mighty Jupiter, and its moons Io (left) and Ganymede (right).
A crescent Moon seen during the day, arcing from upper left to lower right of the frame. At lower centre is the full disk of Jupiter; the small dots to its upper left and lower right and Io and Ganymede, respectively.

I did some very rough calculations using the latest @gamediscoverco.bsky.social data set. Valve's lifetime revenue, since Steam launch, is roughly $100B. If Valve made $0 from every game that made $100K or less they would "lose" $0.5B, the cost of 1 mega yacht. At $1M that number is about $2B

Three panel comic. Panel 1: an exhausted detective leans over his desk with a spread of paperwork and folders. He says, “I’m in too deep. Where is the Spaghetti Man?” Panel 2: on a photograph littered among the evidence, a single small drop of marinara sauce drops with a “plip!” Panel 3: viewed from below, the detective examines the drop of sauce with his finger. Behind him, in a ceiling corner, a rotund chef with a mustache - presumably the Spaghetti Man - holds himself like a spider against the walls.

A New Color (1/5🧵)
Page 1: A man is walking home, smoking a cigarette, being quietly trailed by a UFO above him. As he enters his apartment, two aliens watch from inside the ship. Alien 1, who has a large head, says, “that’s him. Let’s move.” Page 2: The man walks upstairs as the aliens watch from the entrance of the building. The man enters his apartment and greets his little dog. Suddenly there is a knock at the door.Page 3: he peers through his peephole, and sees the two aliens standing in the hallway. Alien 1 is holding a briefcase. From behind him, the voice of alien one: “don’t scream.” Page 4: The aliens are seated across the room on the man’s couch. Sadie is in her bed next to them. Alien 1 says, “you’re not in any danger. Have a seat.” The man looks at his dog and thinks, “sadie is unusually calm.” Alien 1: don’t scream, or it’s a problem.

AI adverts on YouTube are my new jam. They go on for hours. The weird. Pauses. The wild inconsistency in the editing. The same avatar playing different people in the same scene. The droning narration with the same pep as a coffin lowered into the ground. It's an inspiration how bad they are.
