The only correct take on a fundamentally anti-human technology.

Screenshot of David Simon interview
SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

Genuinely thrilled to see an executive in comics come out with this hard of a stance about it

"That's the point – the smudge, the rough line, the hesitation - that's what makes my work come alive." - Jim Lee talking about why DC will never use AI storytelling. "AI doesn't dream, feel or make art, it aggregates it."

@jimlee.bsky.social speaking very passionately at Retailer Day. #nycc

You simply cannot make me spend my time on this stuff. Oh the president said Tylenol causes autism? Well it doesn't. No I'm not going to pore through research papers to prove it to you. That's not what my time is for. My time is for playing videogames and gazing lovingly at my wife.

Yeah, that last line is why I will never use ChatGPT.

Elizabeth Lopatto @lopatto.bsky.social · 22d

imagine relying on AI to write your bio and then having the nerve to say you're witty and full of personality

Anderson felt her bio was authentically her even if it was written by a chatbot. “My bio is 100 percent in alignment with my true personality,” she told me. “I don’t have a filter. I’m very witty. I’m full of personality.” Nor did she think using ChatGPT reflected the “bare minimum energy” she loathed. “It took me an hour and change to drill down my bio to be that good,” she explained. “I had to edit it, edit it, edit it down. I have to keep talking to it.” On the other hand, she admits that ChatGPT has sapped her motivation to write a first draft of anything herself, even though she minored in writing in college and described herself as a “wordsmith.” “I’m gonna be honest with you: Once you use ChatGPT, you don’t want to think for yourself anymore,” she said.

This is my latest Dahlia to open. I don't know what it's called, they had some tubers that were unmarked so I bought some. It's actually very very white, about 7 in across. Everything has an orange glow to it today because of the smoke in the upper atmosphere.

I've seen a lot of chatter about this lately, so I'd like to weigh in on people complaining about the lack of engagement.

And let me start with this: it's not just your imagination.

Let's be real, inactive accounts are always going to happen. Some people just stop playing. But...

This was fun to draw.

A drawing of a big, scary, skull-faced, humanoid, roaring. He has one large fist raised, ready to punch.

I have a tremendous idea: SaaP

Software as a Product

Instead of paying every month, you just buy it once and then you just kind of keep it

You can’t assert the former without the latter also being true.
