Always wanted to be a Jedi.. also a Beatle.. I will settle for trying to be a good person. The official blue sky of that guy you’ve never heard of. Thoughts are usually of nerdiness & running. Opinions are my own.

So many past artists who created the iconic Disney characters had NO idea the work they created would be regurgitated through Open AI for free
These people were not paid for the extraction of their labor. We need California law to catch up and @governor.ca.gov to stop this AI deal NOW 🛑

And even if gay marriage wasn't going to be the next domino to fall, standing up for trans people would still be the right thing to do. You're either for human rights whether it affects you personally, or you're not.
Republican support for gay marriage has fallen to 41%. For those in the LGBTQ+ community who do not believe they are coming after gay marriage next after their draconian anti-trans restrictions, you're in for a surprise - we are all in this together.

Info on its energy gobbling should be in every news story about AI. It is newsworthy. It is inseparable from the tech itself.
It's all fun and games until …

I would love to see fewer think pieces trying to get into the minds of Pumpkin Spice Palpatine voters who now feel betrayed, and more about people who were right all along and now have to deal with the mental anguish of being damned by tunnel-visioned assholes who refused to accept facts.
