The creativity was done already by the people who made what the AI is using to “create” its derivative garbage.

Just got a call from another real estate scammer looking to buy our house. I told them $3 million. They hung up. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It’s a shame, because I grew up watching him on TechTV. Now it’s just sad to see how bad of an influence John Dvorak was on him.

Leo Laporte should probably throw in the towel at this point. I’ve never seen someone fall so far from becoming a champion of tech to an out-of-touch curmudgeon. “CES is pointless.” “Wicked was a terrible movie.” “I’m on a show about Apple, but don’t think anything Apple does is worthwhile.”

Is there a tool, AI or otherwise, that would allow me to upload a diagram of a room in my house with all the furniture placements and measurements and then tell it: “Rearrange this room in a way to maximize space/efficiency?”

How do we have 800 of these articles and none contend with the fundamental issue which is rich liberals don’t want to fund left media, they want to fund liberal media which is bloodless and partisan, by definition. GOP courts its extremes, liberals discipline theirs. www.nytimes.com/2024/11/28/u...

Republicans Built an Ecosystem of Influencers. Some Democrats Want One, Too.

Democrats were badly outflanked online in the election, and progressive influencers are now trying to create networks to be a left-wing answer to Turning Point USA.

impressive Bill Gates was the subject of a brutal NYT report about how he met multiple times with post-conviction Jeffrey Epstein, his wife of 27yrs divorced him over it, then he produced some Netflix hagiographies of himself, gave $50 million to the Harris campaign and everyone just forgot about it

Lovely time had at @moviehistories.bsky.social film club with a POV noir caper. Was not expecting the gimmick to sustain itself Montgomery as director nails it fairly well! Another fab outing with fine film pals!

I've decided to hawk the book and the game once and precisely once this entire holiday season, so I figured I'd get in a head start before you're all inundated, and today's the day. Dog not included.

The fact that we're boiling the oceans faster than ever expressly for the purpose of making this is probably the most fitting end to humanity.

My thing is, if they’re not even willing to speak up to defend their own, what could we possibly expect them to do for anyone else?

While it’s exciting to see this place grow, let’s temper expectations. Because until this place becomes a hub for live/breaking news, it won’t be the “town square” we’re all hoping for.

So aside from writing books, I also run a successful TikTok channel called “Let’s All Go to the Lobby @lobbyintros.bsky.social,” where I talk classic film. It’s helped me land a side job as a classic film host - like the kind you might see on TCM. Mometu.com #booksky #filmsky #classicfilm

I hadn’t touched my WIP in about a year, so I fed it to Notebook LM & I’ve been asking it questions about plot points & characters ever since. It’s been a 🛟 in getting me back up to speed. This is what AI was meant to do — make my life easier while I handle the creative stuff #writer #writing

I also like that Bogart said “This is a role for Bela Lugosi or Boris Karloff!” when given the script for The Return of Doctor X. It was! Both men were offered the role, but couldn’t do it. Bogie HATED it 😂
