Meet Crumb, Button, and Clover. A friend in the Bay Area found them behind a gas station. Unfortunately, she isn't able to keep them, so if she can't find someone to adopt them, they will be going to a shelter. Can you help me find them a home? They are in good health and very tame.

As a lot of you know, I run a kickass little arts organization in rural New England, and *right now,* we have the rare chance to bag $10,000 in matching gifts. It's part of an event called NH Gives, and if you want to help us out, your gift will be doubled if you give before 5pm Eastern tomorrow!

No. This is nonsense. Generative AI isn't artificial intelligence, it's a theft machine, built on theft, sipping the lifeblood of our planet, vomiting out simulacrum of creativity and talent that is most striking its its uncanny valley hollowness. It is the corporate murder of creativity. A plague.

"But surely some AI implementations are actually useful!" is a common refrain in tech. Sometimes it's used in earnest and sometimes in the service of shitty grifting. Fortunately there's an easy way to tell which one you're dealing with. What's the first thing they tell you about their product?
