I feel a new list brewing. One that highlights all the companies and tools that are shifting away from the "AI IS INEVITABLE" energy. We just want to use stuff when we need it?

imagine if the mainstream media covered Republicans' number one donor — the biggest political donor in US history! — and his controversial views with as much scrutiny as they covered Hasan Piker's

this all could have been avoided!
So, to sum up, an AI watermark appeared on art for the work of an anti-AI streamer in a pro-AI game, but it was not directly the fault of the pro-AI developer (though the developer absolutely should have caught this), nor was it the fault of the original logo artist, who did not use AI. Instead, a music distributor that does not appear to have qualms with AI failed to notify the streamer of AI usage on what is, at the end of the day, a simple embellishment of a preexisting logo. This resulted in days of grief and multiple headaches for those involved—all over something that could easily have been done by hand. 

And, per usual with AI, the specific person or people who made these choices remain unidentified. Are they still employed? Will they face even slight consequences? Impossible to say. The takeaway: Just don’t use AI! Generally, yes, but especially with something like this, which in all other senses should have been so, so easy.

Look, this is bad. Yes. But the Trump admin sent six (6) people to Maricopa and Pima. Where, by my count, there are 404 polling places, spread across 18,000 square miles (each county is ~9k sq mi). What they want is the FEAR to discourage the voting they can't actually prevent.

back in the pre-marriage equality era I once heard a close friend from church earnestly say to someone “I just can’t understand why gay people want to DESTROY my marriage by redefining the meaning of it” I’ll remember the way she said the word “destroy” until the day I die, because she meant it

One thing I find endlessly funny about the rise of AI is that it has revealed that there is a large number of people who believe that the reason they wrote essays at school or university is their teachers were desperately waiting for them to provide a definite answer to “Lear: what’s up with him?”

Just a reminder: Tillis persuaded the woman Hegseth allegedly raped to come forward with her story, and told her that if she did, it would sink the nomination. She did. At great risk to herself. Tillis then cast the deciding vote for Hegseth. Because he’s a goddamned coward.

I often see people argue that clean energy is not reducing emissions, because it just adds to rather than replaces fossil fuels. This argument is deeply misguided – clean energy built since 2005 has displaced 23 billion tons. I dive in over at The Climate Brink:
theclimatebrink.com
What if the world hadn't built wind and solar?
Clean energy does not simply “add to” global energy use; it displaces fossil sources that would otherwise get built.

JC: Yeah, definitely. When I first joined, there was a Slack channel with a Claude that had been trained to solve humor. And they were like, “Yeah, we solved humor. Here’s the Claude. We’ve solved it.” And I was in the chat like, “No, you haven’t. You clearly haven’t solved humor. What the hell is this?”
