I once heard about what has to be the funniest sports article ever: When Hank Aaron hit his record-breaking 715th home run, one Atlanta reporter was instructed to run to the restroom, wait for someone to walk out and then interview them about missing history because they were taking a piss

I think we should design bear-safe trash cans that make you do the Macarena before you can open the can. That way even if the bears succeed we get great footage of bears doing the Macarena.

Your hearing aid isn’t suddenly “AI powered,” it’s just that some asshole in marketing found out that folks have been legitimately using ML in the technology for decades and decided to rebrand.
This shit is TRULY snake oil. A goddamned empty signifier.

You hear before I draw my sword

And if it exists in a physical format, you should ask your local library to purchase a copy of it if they don’t already have one!
as ever, if you're enjoying a book or a comic, please tell everyone you know to read it bc sharing their work and getting others to pick it up is the best way to make sure those creators keep working

I just don't understand why we need to spend hundreds of billions, steal decades of creative output, and wreck the environment all to build a machine that confidently gives the wrong answer to almost any question when mediocre men already exist.

Using generative tools to do little art challenges like Nanowrimo or inktober or whatever is like dowloading one of those apps that are supposed to help you work up to doing 100 pushups and lying to it about how many pushups you’re doing. The point is just to motivate you to do the work

NaNoWriMo proudly undermining the one core principle that NaNo absolutely got right: you have to write lots and lots and lots of junk to gain the skills to be a novelist. Telling a robot to do it for you means your skill level will stay at zero forever. There is no shortcut for anyone.
