This sums it up neatly. there have been no noteworthy AI written stories, and a lot of scams and bs which have made it harder for human-written good stories to get out there.

As it is in fact another Bandcamp Friday (in which Bandcamp doesn't charge artists any fees for album sales) I would like to humbly propose that, if you're looking to buy a record today, you consider my band's debut album secondhomes.bandcamp.com/album/find-a...

secondhomes.bandcamp.com

Find a Way to Hate It, by Second Homes

If you just happened to pick this week to start yelling about the importance of academic freedom, I sure hope you did more than watch silently for the past 18 months as the Trump administration assaulted everything from mRNA vaccine research to gender studies to the very idea of having universities.

Another example of how the narratives around teens social media use bear little resemblance to reality… but that a lot of people are buying the narrative

Saw a post where someone was excited about how many books they had read so far this year, and people were dunking all over them because it was a low number by their standards. Just, ew. Don't be like this. Who cares if you've read 150 books or 1. Read what you want when you want. Just read! 📚💙

Fantastic episode about the intentional stories told through these rugs, and the role the buyers tastes play in the market. Also, how the designs variation over time tell us an unintended story about how they may have been made And fantastic audio from @gotitatguineys.bsky.social as always

This is how you legitimise and manufacture consent and legitimacy for the far-right. It is also how you inevitably create space for credulity-straining pieces shortly after initiation of mass-deportation programmes in which regular voters express shock at the extent and severity of said programme.

I spent some time going through videos and interviews with London residents who were displaced by the Olympics in 2012 for this episode and in response the general consensus from anyone in power was: Fuck off, leave me alone, the opening ceremony was brilliant, stop complaining.

This is a sentiment you hear a lot from now-elderly people who grew up without a lot of material comforts. Their perceptual and material worlds were pretty well aligned! Now we basically all live in the perceptual world of the wealthy. It’s hard to imagine anyone not knowing what they don’t have.

Boycotts are necessary! Big protests are necessary! Economic blackouts are necessary! Workers calling out sick or taking time off to support these causes is necessary! Mutual aid is BEYOND necessary! But they are not strikes.

Hi! Minnesotan here. We are not normally showy people. We don’t talk to strangers much. But all of us are desperately trying to tell you that something very bad is happening here. Not because Minnesota needs help (though we do), but as a warning. This is coming for everyone. Abolish ICE now.

Bread and roses, lads. You don't work for permission to exist, you work so you can have a nice life. And Terry Pratchett didn't give us the Boots Theory just so you could not know it.

One of the main reasons we know anything about the workings of the Soviet space program is because similar libraries were opened up to historians after the fall of the USSR. Trashing all these documents will force future programs to resolve problems that were solved and written about in the 60s.

Sir Terry Pratchett is best understood as one of the most interesting, deeply ethical practical (I would say Pragmatist but I cede to actual experts) philosophers of the late 20th Century who just happened to work in deconstructed fantasy literature as his medium.

I sort of think that the Covid times for many people utterly killed any sense that we all live in this world collectively and that you are actually obligated to be mindful of other people, and I think it’s a problem that goes well beyond just the Covid denialists.

Yes. And translators, badly paid, have been trying to make people aware of this, but they have only a small platform. Need writers and readers to be aware and speak out. All my foreign language contracts going forward will stipulate that a real person translates.

This is fucking grim. Somebody invented a white guy, an "IT professional" named Edward Crabtree, who stopped the Bondi shooting and spread it all over the internet, which was picked up by AI agents and slop aggregation sites. The real hero is a fruit stand owner named Ahmed el Ahmed.

A wrong Grok post making up a white guy who stopped the Australian mass shooting.

'Hero' who wrestled gun from Bondi shooter named as Ahmed al Ahmed

A "hero" bystander who was filmed wrestling a gun from one of the Bondi Beach attackers has been named as 43-year-old Ahmed al Ahmed.

Video verified by the BBC showed Mr Ahmed run at the gunman and seize his weapon, before turning the gun round on him, forcing his retreat.

Mr Ahmed, a fruit shop owner and father of two, remains in hospital, where he has undergone surgery for bullet wounds to his arm and hand, his family told 7News Australia.
