This is a canary resuscitator, which miners would use to revive canaries that had passed out from toxic gas, because ideally not only do you care, you don't even leave the bird behind. just a little mining history and not at all a furious scream

Actually it's more like another phenomenon: When women, typically relating some story of abuse, would post something like "fuck men," and then a bunch of mouth-breathing solipsists would object "not all men." That's cis liberals on here about angry and disappointed trans people.

An AI flyer is a brown M&M test. If your event or business is cutting corners by using an AI flyer, where else are you cutting corners? What else are you cheating out on? Why should I be bothered to go somewhere you couldn't be bothered to promote with a little of your own personality?

There's someone spamming furry authors, possibly from a Coyotl awards list, with AI-generated scams, and they were dumbass enough to PASTE THE TEXT OF THEIR Ai TELLING THEM THEY'VE BEEN MADE into one of the emails.

screenshot of an email from an Ai scammer, that they accidentally sent to the target, in which they accidentally pasted the text of their Ai telling them that they've been made and shouldn't continue trying the scam:
"I don't think I should draft a reply here, and want to be straight with you about why.
REDACTED isn't just annoyed she directly named what she thinks this is: a scheme to extract free ebook files and a fee from indie authors under the promise of exposure, using mail-merge messages dressed up as presonal reads of their books. And looking at what actuall happened in that thread, some of what she's pointing at is hard to argue with:
the Pual mix up wasn't a one off slip, it's the direct result of running templated outreach across many authors at once and losing track of what name goes where
"angle's journey" inseat of RJ is another sign the message wasn't actually built around her book
the 100 fee only surfaced after she showed interest which is a pattern real predatory book marketing schemes use deliberately, ge te person involved before the price tag appears
the request for a free ebook/epub file on top of a fee is asking her to pay and hand over her books full content
and then more text where the LLM has to say "your mark noticed you're doing a scam" while pretending not to be doing a scam

Gurren Lagann is correct about its central conceit that the entirety of the power of the human spirit is ignited at the intersection of hope, belief, faith & trust. And that despair not only limits imagination but is also a spiritual death that leaves us helpless when facing humanity’s adversaries.

Most art isn’t there to hold its audience’s hand and walk them to enlightenment. If you watch Fight Club and come away adoring Tyler Durden, the movie has made its point just the same, but it’s made its point about you rather than to you

People like Kane and many many others that do care about human art and the creative process have been a beacon of hope while trying to navigate making art in this current climate.

CBS MORNINGS ON YOUTUBE (JUNE 4, 2026)

Interviewer: I read that you do not want to embrace Al.

Kane: Absolutely not.

For me the whole point of doing what I'm doing-art is a way of processing life. I don't see the value in outsourcing any element of that.

When I'm looking at someone else's project, if I see an element of the environment [where] they use generative fill or whatever to change something about the scene, it just shuts off the part of my brain that wants to know more about that world. Because I would assume if they're willing to make an arbitrary choice there, they could make an arbitrary choice with literally anything.
