Again, this is newsworthy, but only because it shows (1) the deeply unpopular President of the United States is badly out of touch with the actual concerns of voters and (2) he is also quite fucking insane.

Meta now lets anyone use your Instagram photos in AI images without your consent. SAG-AFTRA recommends that #SagAftraMembers (and all Instagram users) opt-OUT of Meta’s new AI image generation tool, Muse Image. Take action to protect your likeness.
If you want to avoid AI generations of your Instagram posts without switching your account to private, you’ll have to dig into the app’s settings. Open the Instagram app, tap your profile, and then tap the three lines in the top-right corner of the screen. Then, scroll down to the Sharing and reuse tab. Here is where you should see a section labeled Allow people to use your content on Instagram and with AI features on Meta, with a toggle for Posts and one for Reels.

I'm glad to see this from the Globe. ICE is leaning into the "secret" part of secret police because they know they are unpopular and they also think that people won't pay attention when their abductions happen away from white people.

ICE is still detaining people out in the streets — but in quieter ways - The Boston Globe
Immigration arrests by ICE are ramping up in Massachusetts and across the country, even if the activity is garnering fewer explosive headlines than previously.

WHAT A PRIVILEGE IT IS TO BE SO INSIGNIFICANT (part one)
by Emma Bolden


Last night I woke a fever, 2 a.m., I worried how 
to tell you what I can and can’t consume. 
My stomach turns me. If I write for forty days 

and forty nights, will I get to the bottom of me, 
a lake drained of its drink, a fish white-lipped 
there, gasping? Outside of my window and even 

at nighttide the azaleas slouch, indecent, fawning off 
their fuchsia threads against a broad swath of gray. 
In the dark I am invisible like a loom of stripped wires 

sparking behind a wall. I have nothing more to say 
to you because I have no you to say a thing to. A warped 
reel of birdsong whirls up my throat. By this age I wanted 


to know the body as an object exquisite, jewel-cut 
and gold-set, a beautiful treasure beneath smooth hair. 
Now I am a table saw trying to be elegant, trying to know 

the world by dividing it, piece by piece. At night I lay down 
in the long bed and shiver up to the wild profusion 
of my own hair. Into the dark I set loose a flock

of syllables. I watch every word’s winging, bright-
beaked, luminous. I should’ve clipped them gone.

As a translator of poetry, I agree. AI can NEVER capture the nuance of sentiment & meaning contained in poetry. As Heaney famously said, poets channel feeling into words. And as another poet I admire has said, poets summon meaning from elsewhere. It’s a transfer of ineffable energy no AI could grasp

It's hard. "Can you separate the art from the artist"--I got asked that 1 million times in the last decade. It took a long time but I came up with my answer to that Kobayashi Maru dilemma. Talked about it with @colehaddon.bsky.social in 5am Storytalk in 2024: colehaddon.substack.com/p/q-and-a-jo...
MR: I’m so glad! Because I think about these questions so damn much. I don’t spend a lot of time pondering whether we can ever fully separate the art from the artist — an interesting question that I care about, but not my ministry — as I do about this: we can’t separate ourselves from the art, and as I said, we change all the time. Part of what changes us is knowing how the art was made, and that might make us not want to encounter that art anymore - or it changes how we encounter the piece.

There are those for which the “art vs. artist question” is their ministry. I’m much more interested in the process of not creating new monsters – in creating different models, norms, and institutions, in creating different paradigms of collaboration that don’t involve routine abuse and exploitation.
