This has been where I'm at lately also. It's getting harder to tell what is and isn't AI (sometimes) and it sucks having to meet every new with mistrust rather than the joy of discovery.
![Thoughts about “AI”
Yes it’s:
The slop
The theft
The brainrot
The loss of work
The crumbling of creator rights
The destroying of the environment and infrastructure
But it's also the destroying of trust in anything that you’re not seeing with your own eyes right in front of you.
Wonder now turned to the narrowing of eyes in immediate scepticism seeing something magical.
Questioning the realness of everything from a stilted written apology to profound works by students in school.
It feels like a slow poison to creativity and humanity at large.

I wish they did, the world would be a better place with more autistic people.

Back in my day, if you wanted to talk to God you had to have a massive hallucination or join a cult. This newfangled technology is putting the real prophets out of business.
The app Text With Jesus uses artificial intelligence and chatbots to offer spiritual guidance to users who are looking to connect with a higher power: on.nbc10.com/7XM8xrf
People can text with Jesus on a controversial new app. How does it work?
Artificial intelligence app Text With Jesus lets users chat with biblical figures and it is raising debate over faith and technology.

all establishment Dems want you to believe that Trump is the problem causing our suffering. he’s not. he’s a symptom of the problem, one which they created the conditions for. our problems are caused by the depraved capitalism they want to uphold. to prosper, capitalism is what needs to be “gone”.

They should make something stronger than coffee but not as bad for you as hard drugs, because I just do not have enough energy most days. 😴

Sharing this specific Charlie Brown gif because it's seasonally appropriate, and definitely for no other reason right now in particular.

When we say something is "for the birds" that means it's bad, but I think it should mean something that is very good because I like birds and want them to have nice things. 🐦 🦜 🦚 🦩🕊

Guys just thought of this: what if we wrest power away from the capitalist ruling class and create a society not based on the exploitation of a laboring class

I've mostly done miniatures at the 28mm scale.
What games are good for smaller scales? Or good miniatures/makers for those scales?

Really great thread and I agree with all of it.
That said: It kills me that things are this way. People *should* find success if they work for it. Lots of talented people don't get what they deserve and that sucks big time! Life isn't fair but I will never not be bothered about it!

I always say that hard work buys you a lotto ticket, but luck still draws it. Plenty of really talented people will never ever find success. There are things you can do to buy additional lotto tickets like making connections and showing up, but luck will always, always be a factor.

Disabled people tried to warn you.
We said that the rising eugenicist sentiment that accelerated during the “back to normal” phase of Covid would eventually hurt everyone
The new healthcare plan for America appears to be:
Don’t get sick
If you do get sick, it’s your fault
If you can’t pay, die
