I don’t know how anyone can still talk about “the AI revolution” with a straight face. Reuters story about a railroad company that has sunk $300,000 into “developing AI products” and appears to have made…a chatbot that doesn’t work?

The clearest sign that Americans are propagandized to the gills is that a majority of voters will, with a straight face, still tell you that Republicans are better for business.

The thing thats so insidious about using AI this way is that one of the main ways artists get hired are studios looking for art references and they find us and reach out.

This is removing a major avenue to get work if they can just generate nameless derivations of our ideas.

Art by Elisabeth Alba

Painted with watercolor, a layer of matte medium, and acryla gouache, varnished.
The original painting is 2.5 x 3.5 inches in size. Another one of the lovely studio kitties of @valkiri.bsky.social! I've painted 3 or 4 of her cats now.

And please also, AGAIN, never forget that they are inherently unethical to use because no one gave permission for their research or writing to be used in it. It is all stolen, and if you're using the plagiarism machine, please keep that in mind.
My friends, I say this with all the love in my heart: Right now might not be the moment for “But we should be TOLERANT and NUANCED about the plagiarism machines!”

Your tolerance and “nuance” will be weaponised by the grifters and their apologists. Please respect yourselves more.

PSA to avoid Uline like the plague for your packaging needs.
Clearbags has every specific bag and board you could want and there’s also good old BCW for comic & art sleeves on Amazon.
Much of the cardboard and paper goods strewn about our homes are sold by a single private company, with its name, Uline, stamped on the bottom.

Many may not know that a multibillion-dollar fortune made on those ubiquitous products fuels far-right candidates across the country.

(Published 2022)
That Cardboard Box in Your Home Is Fueling Election Denial
A previously unreported boom in profits for the shipping supply giant Uline has provided the funds for a deeply conservative Midwestern family to bankroll anti-democracy causes around the country.

There seems to be a little panic about what's genAI and what isn't. But macro compilers like PerfectIt and Word spell check are not. If you've been using Grammarly, now's a great time to stop.

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality.

And trans lives are grounded in reality.

We see y'all. No matter what.

First-of-a-kind study shows encouraging data for trans kids who socially transition
Ninety-four percent of participants in a new study stood firm in their trans identity after five years, and "detransitioning" is rare.

This Epstein files document says that Epstein allegedly threatened to burn a young woman’s house down if she revealed that he had stolen and sold personal photographs she had taken of her sisters.

The sisters were 12 and 16 years old.

This is a great essay for many reasons, one of which is that it perfectly describes this current administration as "Donald Trump and his Skeletor-horde of dipshit cryptids."
