As was true with the translators I heard from in an earlier edition, copywriters never felt that they were being replaced because the AI's work was better. It was almost always worse. It was simply cheaper and faster, and deemed "good enough" by clients.

really enjoying the lord of mysteries anime*
not sure what's different, but i like how it mixes 2d and 3d animation a lot more than usual
every shot has a purpose and also looks great
the camera movement and the frame can get a bit too busy sometimes, but that style works with this story

i found out the hard way by eating matcha brownies at 8pm and was unable to sleep until 10am the next morning 😭
So I can’t read this for Reasons, but the first picture shows someone with matcha and guuuuys matcha is just chock full of caffeine. It’s more caffeinated than coffee.
Cafes across the U.S. are embracing the low- and no-caffeine lifestyle, with options that are a far cry from dusty tea bags and rewarmed decaf. nyti.ms/3XKlqoj

same. got a nonstick Ikea pan when i first lived on my own.
i was super careful about it too but it still was done after 2 years.
just doesn't seem to be worth it.

the nonstick pan conversation is one of those times when I feel like I grew up on a commune away from civilization.
I grew up on stainless steel. I've owned one nonstick pan ever, it lasted about a year (the average life of a nonstick pan) and I was like well that doesn't seem very long

Celebrity chefs told Californians that PFAS-coated pans were “safe,” and successfully lobbied Gavin Newsom to veto a bill phasing them out
They didn’t mention they all sell PFAS-coated pans.
New joint investigation with @mirandagreen.bsky.social and @atmosmag.bsky.social is out:

enjoying campfire cooking in a other world
it's just about shopping and eating and there's no stakes so it's very relaxing
only thing i can't stop thinking about is which magical beings are food and which are not
like goblins and orcs are too humanoid for me 😬

If there actually is a "culture war" its something like this: a lot of people driving their own political and social activity based on incredibly abstract or remote conceptualizations of what is happening outside of their immediate experience.

Over ten years ago I pitched a piece about how all these glowing profiles were being done about 3d printing companies "disrupting" and "democratizing" prosthetics and how that was simply not true. I was told it was too boring/negative and nobody wanted it.

3D printing was supposed to disrupt prosthetic costs. It hasn’t.
Britt Young, writer and lecturer at UC Berkeley, explains why 3D printing has not brought down costs of prosthetic limbs.

I think the toxic current correlation between “studied STEM” and “techbro sociopathy” isn’t really about the subject matter itself but is about how our culture has spent 25 years constantly blowing smoke up the asses of guys who are even passably competent at Computer or Quant
there is not any particularly strong evidence that study of the humanities make people good people. the elites of many brutal empires were extremely well-read!

The wild thing is that stakeholders are still extremely demanding of human workers' outputs, even as they cheer on the generated garbage.
Feels like the actual value they see in AI is the permission structure to do a bad job.

Every facet of generative AI has made my professional life worse, without question, but THIS specific aspect has been driving me NUTS.
Clients, who have made me toil for weeks over indescribably small details, are now approving & producing in-house commercial artwork that looks like a fever dream.
