I hate AI, and I also think AI witch hunting is going to irreparably harm a generation of writers and artists, who have to abandon common techniques that work because the slop machine stole them

People make fun of old science fiction movies but before we landed there it was pretty logical to assume the moon had women in miniskirts

This news is important because all the fucks out there actively attempting to wreck the world want you to think that the work is hopeless and just mitigating the worst case scenario. It's not. Fucking keep going.

DVDs aren't low-tech. They're just things you can actually own, that won't disappear overnight, that don't require a monthly subscription, that won't suddenly get reedited, that won't start putting adverts in the middle and that won't sell your data to the worst people in the world.

I often see people saying some version of "People say X awful thing about Y minority group, but they would never say it about Z minority group (very often Black people)," and brothers and sisters I am here to tell you that people do, in fact, say X to Z (very often Black people) all the time.

The reason that the Harry Potter apologists won't just read better books is because they're not looking for good stories...if they were, they wouldn't have glommed on to Harry Potter. They're looking for the camaraderie and social phenomenon that Harry Potter was in the 2000s.

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖
A pride flag with every color band represented by a NASA image. White is Earth clouds, pink is aurora, blue is the Sun in a specific wavelength, brown is Jupiter clouds, black is the Hubble deep field, red is the top of sprites, orange is a Mars crater, yellow is the surface of Io, green is a lake with algae, blue is Neptune, and purple is the Crab Nebula in a specific wavelength.

Spellcheck is demonstrably worse, going from "wow, yeah that's the word I meant, how did they DO that!?" to "wow, they're just giving me whatever word matches the first contiguous string of letters before my mistake, and it's NEVER correct, why did they DO that!?". AI ruins everything it touches.

I stepped off the library dean path when it became clear that this would be the job--managing the end of academic libraries as we know them. Please know that these changes are just a result of defunding. They do not herald some bright digital future. There will just be less access to knowledge.

Aside from this argument just being wrong, it’s a pretty devastating encapsulation of toxic nostalgia culture Being willing to destroy the thing you loved to force its continued cultural relevance, because god forbid kids don’t “fall in love with” the same things you did 20 years ago
