this is how I, a resident of LA, found out that the Palisades fire was arson, that they caught the guy, and that he used gen AI to work his way up to doing the crime

the city of los angeles burned in january in part because of a man who couldn’t stop generating images of burning cities on ChatGPT, and then after he lit the fire he asked if the fire he started was his fault

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

A few more photos from my morning with the coyotes from my kayak. The sun had cleared the horizon at this point and the fish left by the commercial fishermen were running out, leading to some scuffles among family members. #mammals 🌿

Four of a family of coyotes stand in the golden light of the morning sun along a rocky, shore against an wall of fallen limestone cliffs. The coyote in the middle is staring off into the distance while two other feed on the remains of fish. The fourth coyote is looking over the shoulder of the one on the right, hoping to get a taste.

Two coyotes in the golden light of the morning sun along a rocky, shore against an wall of fallen limestone cliffs. You can't see the head of the one on the right, who is presumably feeding on fish carcasses. The one next to it has it paw on the other's back, trying to get its attention.

Three coyotes in the golden light of the morning sun along a rocky, shore against an wall of fallen limestone cliffs. The one on the left looks off into the distance, ignoring the other two. You can't see the head of the one on the right, who is presumably feeding on fish carcasses. The one next to it has it paw on the other's back and is snarling, trying to get its attention, annoyed that it's not getting to share in that particular fish.
