Here's a fun idea:

Host a Support & Sign-Making party a few days before No Kings on 10/18. Invite concerned folks to eat, drink, be merry, & come up with clever slogans.

Make t-shirts, buttons, & posters, with prizes for the best ones!

Thanks, @brianphillips.bsky.social, for saying what writers have been thinking, in my case with a tiny "Nooooo" radiating from my soul

Funny thing is such a blanket filter seems like a bad AI move. But it's like so many of our other deeply human shortcuts, reducing everything to us vs. them

Love reading Jen Shahade's "AI plays chess" posts for extrapolating patterns of AI confabulation.

Also, em dashes could mean written by AI — or written by AM. (And haha @jenshahade.bsky.social for bringing it back around in footnote 2)

From failing to see smothered mates in one to confabulating in confusing scenarios, when the LLMs miss things, there's often a lesson we can learn from it.

Wanted to send a note about Harvard capitulation—as an employee etc I emailed the H pres to support him for standing strong the first time and got a personal response. It’s worth emailing him and I believe it makes a real impact. He is paying attention.
