With many people getting COVID from the summer surge, a reminder that the CDC's isolation guidelines are inadequate.

It's best to isolate until you test negative on multiple tests. If you can't stay home the whole time, wear an N95 mask to stop the virus spreading to others.

one of tech’s biggest problems is that it used to invent stuff that made people’s lives better and easier and in recent years has pivoted to “fake money for scams” and “plagiarism machine that puts you out of a job”
This is what blows me away every time. There's no one who NEEDS predictive text machines. It's not curing cancer or feeding people or producing clean energy. It's just sucking up resources, convincing CEOs to fire humans who do better jobs than it can do, and allowing founders to siphon VC money
"will require a breakthrough energy source" my dude, it requires nothing because it doesn't need to exist. you WANT a breakthrough energy source to keep playing, and you can get in line behind the people who actually need it #comemierda

It will forever be known as “Jaquaysing a dungeon”. There is an “s” in Jaquays. I have spoken. @dark-towers-mom.bsky.social #jaquaysing #jaquaysingthedungeon

When I was in school for visual communication we went to see a speaker that said "You never want to be the cheap version of somebody else" and that has stuck with me through discussions of AI image generators, knock offs, and leaning too hard into my inspirations. Art is about communicating. Be you.

It’s a very depressing and scary time for creative jobs and communication jobs. 😔 I wish I had something positive to say, but so many people I know can’t find work in their field or laid off repeatedly. Capitalism kills creativity and information.
Heartbroken for games. Heartbroken for animation. Heartbroken for publishing, ESPECIALLY for journalism. Our media landscape is looking more bleak by the minute.

Hello, rpg nerds of Bluesky. My game, Stay Frosty, has been available for almost 7 years and just today hit 1,000 (paid) sales!
If I get ONE more I think we'll hit Platinum seller. Will you be that 1,001st buyer? If you like Aliens, Doom, and Starship Troopers you should be.

Increasingly fed up of arguments that are along the lines of “it’s the future, we just gotta go with it” for things like unethical LLMs.

As if “the future” is this thing that’s out of the hands of people and not a product of people and fucked up systems.

Lots of predatory behavior going on in the #TTRPG space. People getting others to do all the heavy lifting, and then screwing them out of a payday.

How do I deal with such things in my #creative life? I have some rules (note, these are mine, not universal).

For decades, scientists couldn't figure out why the measles vaccine didn't just lower death rates from measles, but from other diseases too. Now we know it's because measles causes immune amnesia. Measles resets the immune system. It forgets how to fight every single pathogen it's ever encountered.

I don't know how the bots are getting over here, but I swear, if you have invite codes and have no one to give them to… that's FINE. Just keep them, there's no penalty for it.

Don't post on public social media, "I don't need them, here's my codes" 'cos there are bots scraping codes out there.

Been saying this. De-skilling jobs and making them depend on proprietary software is a trap.
One major reason to fight AI
And instead of your options being in the hands of about a million people, all of whom could do a creditable job, it’s now in the hands of three companies.

What do you think is going to happen?

So here’s one of my things about AI. Right now, content that can be generated by AI—things like art, stock photos, listicles, articles—is not actually particularly expensive.
