Complaining about the worst little weirdos on earth being horrible on X when you're still posting on there is like rummaging through someone's bins and griping about getting bin juice on your hands

It'd be a shame if people started sharing only AI slop on WeTransfer.
An alert to all creatives using #WeTransfer. Basically, stop immediately! As of August, they will begin scraping everything you send for AI purposes (see the new paragraph in their Terms and Conditions below).
If, like me, you’re a voice artist, they’ll clone your voice. Avoid at all costs.

Imagine asking your readers to pay for a book that EVEN YOU have no interest in reading.
So that now makes Lena McDonald, KC Crowne and Rania Faris leaving ChatGPT prompts in their ‘books’.
I’m so fucking tired, guys. If you don’t write, you’re not a writer. It’s that simple. Stop doing this to your readers, who PAY.
Readers and authors deserve better than this. 📚💙

Imagine pretending it's not a plagiarism machine when you literally ask it to plagiarize and do so little editing after the fact that your "book" includes it repeating those instructions.
yo wtf
fuck you if you steal and copy authors’ works.
fuck you if you use gen ai and call yourself a writer. you’re an opportunist hack using a theft machine.

i keep seeing people say that LLMs are good at search.
NO. WRONG.
You have just forgotten how good search used to be.
Google broke it's own flagship product, and so you are accepting a demented chatbot's half baked gishgallop because we no longer have functional web search.

Folks loudly criticizing and judging Gazans for fundraising right now need to think twice about the assumptions they’re making. A dollar does not go far in a place where food is scarce. Have some humanity.

I recently visited the ALMA observatory in Chile. While I was poking around the telescopes, ALMA researchers released amazing new views of planet-forming disks around young stars.
These are the most detailed images yet of new solar systems being born. 🧪🔭

So very sad to hear of #GeorgeWendt’s passing. Being a child of the 80’s and 90’s, Norm Peterson felt like everybody’s fun, drunk uncle. His guest spots on SNL as spot-on Bears fan Bob Swerski always stole the show. #RIPGeorgeWendt Thanks for so many laughs. #RIPNorm
