AI is an employee who never says no, never talks back, and who has no emotions, so you're free to be an asshole to it without consequence. Certain men have been fantasizing about this for their whole lives. They will happily burn the world down to create it.

I cannot begin to describe how nerve wracking it was to post that doodle earlier. No matter how long you’ve been making stuff, when you’re working on new skills sharing your early attempts is hard (I haven’t drawn anything except UI sketches regularly since I was in art school like 20 years ago)

We need more voices on the left dismissing the doomsday narrative, and instead pointing out that “AI” is software whose capabilities are widely overblown, with regulatory capture the ulterior motive for the software companies.

The rush to accuse, without anything approaching due diligence, artists of using "AI," should be treated with contempt. An artist gets their work *ripped off* to train a plagiarism machine, which then shits out inferior versions of that work, so then you accuse the artist of using "AI"? Fuck you.

I am back in more business classes this time for QuickBooks and it really tells you how chock full of upsells QuickBooks is that the official (from Intuit) textbook has 9 steps of 20 in the "setting up your project company" instructions to navigate you around all of them.

they certainly have destroyed the ability to go out and buy something you need quickly at an actual store, even in a relatively big city, the seems to have greased the ramp for setting everyone up to expect anything they want delivered in less than 24 hours

I don't know where you get your game news, but where I get mine also points out the obvious fuckery most other media outlets are trying very hard to ignore.

The rise of the patronizing “we know better than them, this is what they need even if it isn’t what they want” style of contempt that seems to have grown prominent in “UX teams“ in the last few years was the most distressing version, to me. Big part of why I walked away.
