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.

just because i'm allergic to bread, doesn't mean we should close all bakeries.

fiction is a safe space to think of unsafe things

if you feel it's messing you up, step away. don't assume it's messing everyone up and you need to eradicate it because you caught a case of the feel-bads from something. go sit with that and think about why instead of pissing in everyone else's cheerios.

Getting to show you all this cover and announce that VILLAIN is officially coming out in May of next year is such a joy and a relief i don't even know how to express it.
www.harpercollins.com/products/vil...

the cover for a book entitled Villain by Natalie Zina Walschots. the cover is a bright magenta with dark blue and teal lettering for the title, and the author's name is in yellow. there is an image of the silhouette of a woman carrying a cane, surrounded by the silhouettes of five superheroes.

this is the plastic straw thing all over again. yes, these things may contribute, but like.. we have a MUCH larger contributor right under our nose. i feel like making people get rid of their private jets is a lower-hanging fruit for climate policy.

pretty sure t-swift's jet contributes more to climate change than someone trying to stay the fuck alive.

Millions of Americans using inhalers for chronic lung diseases like asthma may be unknowingly contributing to global warming, according to new research.

Those who are 35+, what advice do you have for people just entering their 30s?

A.D. Sui 🇺🇦 [sway] @thesuiway.bsky.social · 3d

ah yes, academic papers being written by AI so that they can be sent to journals where they will be peer-reviewed by AI, and then published so they can be summarized by AI.

academia is doing just fine, why do you ask?
