She cracked Nazi codes with a pencil and paper and helped save more than 8,000 lives. Elizebeth Smith Friedman's codebreaking exposed Nazi spy networks during World War Il. Intelligence she decoded helped the RMS Queen Mary evade a U-boat attack with 8,000+ people aboard. #SheShed #VivaHerAlliance

I'm just saying, if the "AI apocalypse" is "destruction of data and infrastructure" there's an entire generation that grew up with land lines, game cartridges, and CDs ready to glare at you while we listen to Siouxsie and the Banshees.

Fun fact, tho not so much given the circumstances: Many large west coast SEIU local numbers are based off mergers. 1021 was 10 locals, now 1. 521 was 5, now 1. 721 was 7, now 1. Not 925. 925 is numbered after the 9 to 5 movement of women workers in the 70s, which Dolly wrote the song about.

Writers: any org that advertises itself as "vital" to your career while boosting everything that prevents you from actually having a career is not an organization you should join. Don't pay to be in a glorified clique.

Getting real sick of slop midwives pleading for a 'respectful discussion' of AI as relates to the arts. Your use of AI to 'make art' is not respectful. It benefits from stolen art, destroys the planet, and does not make you an artist any more than someone driving 26.2 miles is a marathoner.

Don't let the Ai discourse discourage you aspiring writers out there. Art is valued by its rarity, and the rarest thing in the world is the talent of a single individual. What can be mass produced for cheap has little value. You are an original. A one of a kind. A bespoke wonder. Never forget that.
