In regard to FurAffinity being at risk due to censorship: Furries are now political targets. We are getting namedropped at high levels of government. They know that we are a large, influential, largely queer, community. Fighting for the spaces owned by our community is incredibly important

Reading more about Furaffinity. Amazing how these third-party advertisers desperately crave our audience, but want to strip away much of the basic content we go there for. Fuck these puritanical assholes. 😤

We need EVERYBODY making THEIR dream projects with whatever time you have. Exchanging favors of expertise with each other as investments of time when you can afford it. Finding paths to hiring each other. Giving the pocket change you can afford to every small artist you love, it WILL ADD UP for them

Remember, they prosecuted Aaron Swartz and drove him to suicide for hacking one system with the goal of making academic articles freely available to the public. Sam Altman hacked 1000s of sites with the goal of being a trillionaire.

Those of us who've spent a lifetime bullying ourselves into improvement: There will always come a day that it stops working. That is what burnout is. We find a new way forward, or we don't go forward.

AI didn’t “go rogue.” People connected a computer system they know can mess with another computer system in unpredictable ways to less advanced computer system and it messed with that computer system in unpredicted ways. As @tressiemcphd.bsky.social argues, don’t lose sight that *people* did that.

Even just replacing "AI" by "software" paints such a different picture. "our software broke out and hacked some organisations". Who's reponsible now?

This is why I think it's so important to push back against the personification of LLMs. If a person shoots someone while wearing a hand puppet, they can't claim the hand puppet did the murder.

It's also not magic beans. It's a word predictor. It's really fast at it and it's even learned to pick the next line in code to make the code do what you want it to, most of the time. (This tends to flatten all art and make it worse, but that's another thing.) But it isn't magic and it's not alive.

No one had to think super hard about how to make a washing machine useful. A telephone. A vacuum cleaner. So why do our bosses have to constantly challenge us to find something, anything, for which AI might be helpful If your customers don’t find your product useful, that’s a you-problem

The search for AI ROI continues. University admin gave a presentation to faculty senate on AI. They begged us to discover use cases for them. All they have is a bespoke Ai tutoring agent and hopes and dreams for improved internal operations All senate had to offer was complaints about cheating

Your bad art is better than AI slop.
four frame comic. first frame shows a typical AI poster that says : All chatgpt flyers look the same, especially with this font! the text above it reads : I won't go to your event if the poster was made by AI. second frame shows a still frame from a Hank Green youtube video. text above reads : I won't read your post or email and I won't watch your video if they were made with AI. third frame shows an AI restaurant poster of burgers and chicken in a window. text reads : I won't patronize your shop  or restaurant if it is advertised with AI. last frame shows an MS paint window with badly written : Your bad art is better than AI slop. text reads : if you can't take the time or make the effort to interact with me yourself, then why should I do it?

I would like to see more companies admit this - being a public company no longer means running a successful, thriving business. It strictly means delivering growth to investors, every single quarter, who do not care at all about the product the company sells or the people who produce it.

When you start playing, the Restraint is just your card pool. There is the almost inevitable arms race leading all the way into bracket 4, and sometimes cEDH (I want the deck with the best cards, from every new set). Finally you come crashing down because you just want to play shit you like.

Being Me - Gator Days
Being Me - Gator Days

Characters

Gustopher - Alligator - An easily excitable boy who loves making friends. August's son.

Transcript

Panel 1

Gustopher is on the sidewalk in his neighborhood and thinking about the future. As he walks by the fenced in houses, he contemplates the type of person that he might grow up to be.

Gustopher (Narrating): I wonder what type of person I'll become.

Panel 2

A possible future version of Gustopher is shown walking through a park with the city in the background. He has his hands in his coat pockets and briskly walking towards his destination. The sky is growing yellow has the sun begins to set.

Gustopher (Narrating): Rich? Cool? Happy? Famous?

Panel 3

Another possible future version of Gustopher is shown. This one is much older and has put a few pounds. He's walking a black dog with green eyes that looks similar to one of the present day Gustopher's cats. A tree and a house are silhouettes against the setting sun that's making the sky a brilliant orange that's fading into a dark blue.

Gustopher (Narrating): Will I have lots of friends?

Panel 4

A present day younger Gustopher is looking up at the night sky. It's filled with stars and nearby trees are only shadows in the darkness. The world seems so vast at the moment.

Gustopher (Narrating): Will I remember being me?

Who let Falco have the remote #starfox
The Star Fox team dozes on a couch aboard the Great Fox. Slippy is asleep on the armrest, Fox sleeps atop him, and on the other side Falco grips a TV remote while also lolling over the back of the couch. Peppy stands behind the couch, smiling at the boys and pulling a blanket into view.
