I’m sorry, but it is disgraceful to be an academic who uses this technology to conduct research. It should be prohibited in all of our scholarly institutions, including universities and journals.

There's a rather realistic looking donkey made to look like it's pulling a fruit cart that will greet you when you enter the supermarket in Marquee Mall.
I don't know why they decided to put a donkey (and only a donkey) there but someone definitely thought about giving an ass.

5) AI, which is good at bullshit, may thrive because we have made a society run on bullshit. But in the end I cannot believe we will all become nothing but consumers. People MAKE. An not in the Randian "makers and takers" sense, in the yearning, stretching toward the infinite sense.

6) Art is, in the end, a way of taking a feeling out of my head and trying to jam it into yours from across space and time. There may be some tasty junk food made by AI eventually, but without intention, our appetites to make will be unmet, and we will eventually move on. 6/6

Wrote about some of the most popular folklore creatures for @voguephilippines. So happy that there’s a growing interest in what used to be called “superstition.” We’re now understanding that these beliefs is one of the keys to who we are as a society.

The biggest lie THEY ever told was convincing people that tinfoil hats protect from mind control waves. Sure, wear a freaking antenna made from radiowave amplifying materials on your head to "protect" from 5g, right. Y'all should be wearing copper cages on your heads, wake up sheeple!

If you’re a creative thinking about giving up because things feel impossible and time keeps passing without seeming like progress is being made, just remember Pedro Pascal didn’t become a household name until he was almost 50.
