This was so painful to watch, and I say that as a Braves fan

Nothing makes it so clear that tech companies are desperate for AI to become necessary as forcing it into every product (even when it makes no sense) for free. If it was actually something worthwhile, it would have been monetized immediately.

I finished The Aroosi Arrangement by the superbly talented @arezouamin.bsky.social.

I seriously needed to read a full on romantic story between two Iranic people. With such beautiful prose, wit, and depth Arezou has made something amazing.

I'm a torn Braves fan. It's fun watching the Phillies get beat up but I don't want the Dodgers to win :/

I am very happy to have a job that I have, but I do miss working from home and watching all the playoff baseball. 🥲
Though, it has been fun figuring out which co-workers are baseball fans

I did not realize New York Comic Con was this weekend 😅

My friend Dr. Annalise Ophelian (Looking for Leia) produced “MAJOR!” about Miss Major’s life & I encourage everyone to watch it so that you can understand the vital contributions Miss Major has made to Trans & Queer history.

Anyone besides me find it interesting that the first AI "actor" is a women and not a man?

Dr. Damien P. Williams Wants A Better Sociotechnical Paradigm @wolvendamien.bsky.social · 5d

Like… it's kind of right there, no?

"AI" generated image of woman with dark hair sitting in a chair in front of posters with random shapes and symbols meant to look like images and text on movie posters, all superimposed with a post from k.w.bogen reading
"AI actresses can't negotiate. They can't say they'd prefer their bodies not be shown certgain ways. They can't refuse degrading scenes. They can't express distress about disturbing content. They can't ask the creators :why would you do that to me? Why put any woman through watching that? If AI film winds up being the path, we're about to see an entirely new generation (and more brutal depiction) of media misogyny."

......Not a Yankee's fan in this house, but at least it's not the Mets. If you were a Mets fan, there would be some mild judging 😉

2 out of 3 of my teams made it through the playoffs which I'll take. Way to go, Tigers and Cubs. 🎉 Let's go Phillies (ugh) and Blue Jays! Fuck the Yankees 😘
