What do you mean abolishing ICE is not doable? It was created in 2003. There are Missy Elliot songs older than ICE.

LLMs impress the writers who do not want to write, the coders who don't want to code, the researchers who don't want to research, and the lawyers that don't want to actually understand case law. Those that desperately tell you how powerful Al is and that you simply must use it are looking for you to validate their own laziness or distaste for effort, and those who are impressed with LLMs' outputs tend to be people with low standards.

A phlebotomist says to a patient "we're going to draw some blood." A photograph of a hand with a pen comes from outside the panels and colours in the blood bag with red. The phlebotomist says "see? that wasn't so bad." The patient, dumbfounded, asks "wa that... was that God?"

I don’t “network,” I make friends. Other artists are not my competition, they’re my beloved peers and sources of inspiration. We all have the same goal; to share our art. I’m not gonna corporatize my human relationships with them. I am in my sandbox playing and I hope they join me.

One of the many reasons AI can't produce good writing is it can't hate its own writing. It can't think to itself "Maybe I'm illiterate" during the writing process. And that's essential

There is a book club organization out there emailing authors telling them the club will feature their work for a "modest fee" for "branded materials" etc. Do not fall for this nonsense. You should never, as a writer, have to pay for such things.

The Supreme Court has stated that Canadians have a Charter right to strike, and the Premier of Alberta just nullified that in order to end a teacher's strike that is entirely her fault. She's such a coward that she walked out of #ableg as soon as she tabled the bill. #abpoli #cdnpoli

It is weird to live in a time when the people I know who tend to speak the loudest and most often about how companies always seem to be ripping them off or do a bad job will turn around and say sincerely that governments should be run more like companies.

Oh, hell no! Rich people can do what they want with their own money, but that entitlement ends when it's public money. Canada has a federally funded literary prize already--any money the Giller organization is asking for can go DIRECTLY to the Governor General's Literary Awards, thank you very much.

One of many moments in Omar El Akkad’s new book, “One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This,” that will stop you in your tracks.
There is an impulse in moments like this to appeal to self-interest. To say: These horrors you are allowing to happen, they will come to your doorstep one day; to repeat the famous phrase about who they came for first and who they'll come for next. But this appeal cannot, in matter of fact, work. If the people well served by a system that condones such butchery ever truly believed the same butchery could one day be inflicted on them, they'd tear the system down tomorrow. And anyway, by the time such a thing happens, the rest of us will already be dead.
No, there is no terrible thing coming for you in some distant future, but know that a terrible thing is happening to you now. You are being asked to kill off a part of you that would otherwise scream in opposition to injustice. You are being asked to dismantle the machinery of a functioning conscience.
Who cares if diplomatic expediency prefers you shrug away the sight of dismembered children? Who cares if great distance from the bloodstained middle allows obliviousness. Forget pity, forget even the dead if you must, but at least fight against the theft of your soul.

One invaluable trait of art is that you’ll see something by an artist and think “wow, someone else knew exactly how I feel about this.” You can forge a connection with another human across centuries and languages and cultures. If you connect with an AI artwork, you’re just affirming yourself.
