I thought the administration - and the "economy is good, actually" - folks said we'd conquered inflation and this issue was over though?

I have long believed that we should be WAY more vocal about how police and ICE constantly murder dogs, and I think this is great messaging actually.

The reality is that you can mobilize a whole lot of usually tuned-out Americans around a “someone is being mean to hecking doggos” cause.

It’s not just bad morally, it’s also bad art. “Marilyn Monroe in Game of Thrones” has no point or purpose, it’s just a mad lib

Aparna Nair @disabilitystor1.bsky.social · 1d

I don't know how many times to point out that is absolutely ghoulish and non-consensual and disgusting behavior.
To exploit the image of a dead woman who was also exploited in real life so you can live out your momentary fantasies of "what is possible" with AI is bad science journalism, also.
Sick.

Marilyn Monroe in Game of Thrones? AI Could Make It Happen Soon

Despite early, and familiar, copyright growing pains, Sora may be the prelude to AI-generated on-demand TV and movies

Screenshot includes an AI generated image of what looks like a human cross between Daenaerys Targaryen and Marilyn Monroe on the back of a dragon.

I wish just once a reporter would ask some of the men behind these technologies: Does it bother you knowing that you've created an engine to skip the need for their consent after death from women who likely would have never consented while living?

Unsurprisingly, they did not care enough to help the family as they tried to save him. Even more unsurprising, they did not find any evidence of the migrants they were there to terrorize in the first place.
Do not open your door for these fucking losers. Rest easy Chop

E.E. Cummings once had a collection of poems rejected by 14 publishers. When he eventually got it published as "No Thanks" in 1935, he dedicated it to those 14 publishers in a visual poem shaped like a funeral urn

We could have had:

Platforms for collaboration that integrate across environments - shared calendars and documents between Google, Microsoft, etc.

Search engines with optional features (eg, restrict to reliable sources, exclude irrelevant topics)

Instead we get billionaires feeding us AI slop.

I had just started reading this over the weekend...

“…you can't throw anybody under the bus. You can't leave anybody behind. And that's become my favorite thing to say to people: I won't throw anybody under the bus, and I'm not leaving anybody. It has to include us all, or it's not going to work.”

Reading Miss Majors Speaks was an incredibly moving experience last year. I can't recommend this book enough for those unfamiliar with her work.

I don't have a lot of experience reading novels in Japanese, but for reasons I can't explain, Murakami Haruki feels like reading English, a specific sort of late-20th c. postmodern dude.
