I have other things I probably *should* be doing, but instead I'm playing around with a new (to me) static site generator called Zine. I usually use Hugo, but Hugo is now using AI and Zine has a no-AI policy. zine-ssg.io

Did y'all forget already that the Outlier game uses genAI?? (Screenshot from their own FAQ). A month ago they deactivated account because they got so much pushback, then had a crashout and used another acct to troll people about it. Just a head's up for anyone who wants to easily avoid AI products.
Screenshot from Outlier game site's FAQ page. Text says: Does Outlier use AI? Yes, the way we use every other tool here: writing and debugging code, digging through the data, checking word lists against dictionaries, drafting things we then rewrite. It decides nothing. The game, the rules, the scoring, which features ship and which get thrown out, which words get added and which get refused, all of that is ours. Every line of copy on this site was written or rewritten by a person, including this one.

Feeling very much like fall today.
Illustration of a tree-lined boulevard with autumn-colored leaves, leading to a large stone arch in the distance under a pale blue sky. Hand-lettered text at the top reads "A fall day..." The road down the center is empty except for a yellow dashed line. People walk along the paths on either side, a couple of them carrying bags, while a dog runs across the path and a woman in pink pants rides a bicycle with a basket on the front.

Panel 4: Later, alone at a laptop on a website called The Nibble, Nibbles types out a diary entry dated Sunday, February 20th: "And I found myself asking, why are humans so cringe?"

First Grim Reaper comic
4-panel comic by War and Peas. Panel 1: The Grim Reaper cruises across a field on a skateboard, scythe in hand, cape billowing behind it. Panel 2: The Reaper leans toward a couple of kids and dares them, "Bet you can't do a kickflip over the shark tank." Panel 3: A confident boy in a yellow shirt and cap steps onto his board beside a tank full of circling shark fins and grins, "Betcha I can, old man!" Panel 4: A close-up of the Grim Reaper, quietly delighted, as it says, "I love my job."

The richest person in the world, an avowed white supremacist, today again posted "the next step is getting rid of 'source code' entirely and just making an efficient binary directly with AI" because he has no idea how anything works, not even the basics of industries he is in.

Enjoy them before the data centers destroy everything. But hey, at least we're not left behind on the plagiarism and mass data-collection machine. Wouldn't want the other countries to be the only ones going down-hill.
