say what you will about the myriad valid concerns with current LLMs but I personally will never get over the fact that Aaron Swartz was prosecuted to his literal death for downloading JSTOR and then a decade later, they downloaded & ingested the entire world and our IP laws just went ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Maybe if this administration restored the food safety inspectors they fired and the regulations they gutted, this would stop happening.

The manipulativeness of algorithms is rough. I just don't browse anything on Instagram; I only post on my writing and art accounts. I wonder if it does anything for me to even have the accounts.

I'm still here, but I've mostly been working on enamel pins, jewelry, and other things. Not so much writing. I'd like to get back to writing projects, though. Hopefully soon.

Turns out you can call Etsy's help line and request a feature (fixing Pirateship's API access so it can be effectively used for Etsy sales again). It took me several tries, but I have a case number. If you miss this, I recommend requesting a call and asking for this feature. #etsy #enshittification

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

It cares that you know this: a person was in a bind, and chose to have faith that they could maybe help people. That choice is made, because you do what you can. That's it; that's the story. You do what you can. Bravo. A-plus. Studios could NEVER.

This movie doesn't care if you know what is objectively real or morally correct or a hallucination or supernatural! It doesn't care if you know whether the protagonist is objectively honest or decent! It doesn't care if you know if his actions turn out for better or not! what it DOES care about:

"Who Is Superman? A Private Interview With Lois Lane" A story about hope and connection ☀️(1/4)

A comic cover for a fan comic. The cover portrays Superman carrying Lois Lane (she is depicted as a Southeast Asian woman in a purple office suit and skirt).

Superman sets Lois down gently as she says, ‘That’s going to take some getting used to.’ The two are far from the city, in a roadside canyon with a view overlooking Metropolis. Standing in front of a fence with Metropolis and a sunset-colored sky in the distance, Superman asks, ‘The flying?’ Pulling something from her pocket, Lois says, ‘Oh, that and everything. Let’s get to it, shall we?’

The item she pulled from her pocket turns out to be a recorder device, which clicks on as she says, ‘This is Lois Lane of the Daily Planet, interviewing the elusive Superman. The date is – nevermind, let’s cut to the chase.’ He looks somewhat surprised as Lois paces around. She says ‘Although some feel that you’ve made your intentions clear to Metropolis through your acts of heroism and good will … others feel that the way you’ve avoided giving an official statement has led to speculation and worry.’

She holds the recorder up to him and asks, ‘So why speak up now, Superman?’ He pauses before responding.

Superman smiles and says, ‘Well … because I’m ready to talk.’

Looking incredulous, Lois asks, ‘Can you explain why you feel “ready” to talk.’

Now floating a few feet off the ground, he replies, ‘I guess … people have always been nosy about me, even before I started flying. Lately it’s like every other day someone’s trying to figure out who I am and how I’m like this.’

He finger guns in her direction and says, ‘Why, you were the most gutsy about investigating me, Ms. Lane. Didn’t you pitch that one theory about my strength being the result of a lab accident—’ She cuts him off- blushing in embarrassment as she says, ‘Okay, listen!’

Oh, I'm happier to see the actual placeholder, by a mile. This is real. Real work can be clunky, but so what? It's your actual process. It gives us something that shows how badass the glow-up will be. An AI image is a tangential imitation of not your work, and it isn't what you're really doing.

It was really, really great. I've been hunting down filk recordings for a couple of years now (it's wild how many times I heard of filk without realizing it was a storied and active thing). I didn't know there was a filksing planned until the day of the first one.

Things are rough, but sometimes life really gives you a moment: www.tumblr.com/junipercalle... tldr: A filksing is a song circle with fan music, parodies, and other things. I made new connections, tried something new, and had a moment of peace. #filk #filksing #conventions #scifi

I would call them; at least it's a metric (and you'll have interactions on record). I don't think I need to go as far as that nickname, though--getting taken and trafficked seems a lot more hellish. This is a light inconvenience by comparison.
