Something AI is responsible for that doesn't get enough talk: How, when it scrapes a website to illegally steal everything on it, it uses up a ton of its bandwidth allotment, crashing it or racking up massive fees for site owners.

Gonna have to mute some words for a few days because while my following feed has the correct takes on the current big issue, it means that I have to see the bad takes they're quoting non-stop and nope, that's my limit for a few days

Gonna be honest, gang. The moment you convince people you can make a machine who is conscious and capable of suffering, that is the moment you should be introduced to John Brown's blade for thinking you can sell that person.

I think it is evidence of how so much we have been made to think that gaining an audience is the goal of life in this attention-seeking economy that saying "a rapist shouldn't seek a public persona that is available for consumption" is taken as equivalent to saying they "can never rejoin society."

Nana Visitor as Major Kira Nerys in "Past Prologue", STAR TREK: DEEP SPACE NINE (1993)

Nana Visitor as Major Kira Nerys in her quarters aboard DS9.

The second episode of STAR TREK: DEEP SPACE NINE, "Past Prologue" featured Major Kira with significantly shorter hair than in the previous episode: According to Nana Visitor, the change was her idea: "I just didn't feel that Major Kira would style her hair every day. She wouldn't care! I wanted a hairstyle that looked like she just woke up in the morning looking like that."

Expanding on 'not my business'. About 10 years ago, I was in a group chat with several of my friends. Almost everyone in the chat's significant other was also in there. It came to light that one of our closest friends cheated on her boyfriend with a guy who was engaged to another girl in the group.

Something that made my friendships stronger was recognizing in my 20s that my ADHD brain liked to argue for enrichment. This is great for high school debate, not so much when you're trying to be a functional adult.

It’s the first and I want to remind y’all we’re in the worst economy I’ve experienced as an adult. So, so many people are out of work & have been for a while. It’s the worst time to be job hunting. So if you see a GFM, mutual aid request or plea for help?

This 33-year-old nurse told the FBI she knew she was “going to set him free” after border patrol agents brought in a man whose face was bloodied and seriously injured. She treated him and helped him escape, and she faces charges now. He got away, and they never relocated him.

Omigod, this is the most heartwarming story possible! Backpack (bear 89) is the son of the 2019 winner of Fat Bear Week, Holly (bear 435). In 2007, he injured his foot & a practice of riding on momma's Holly's back had a new meaning: he was mobility-restricted while it healed. So Holly moved him.

From DISCVR blog's Facebook page, a momma bear & a yearling cub on her back in the shallow water. I think the background has been swapped out, and I can't rule out some AI use there? God, Facebook has become the social media for AI slop : (

The title of the article, which I link below, is "How Bear 89 earned the name Backpack"
