🛑 STOP • USING • GOOGLE!! 🛑
Google’s “AI summary” is frequently wrong, often dangerously so.

I use Kagi.com (not sponsored) and even pay for it. Results are better, there’s no automatic AI, and your searches are not reported to the U.S. government.

I don't know if the reputation of the US amongst allies can ever be recovered, regardless of who is in the White House or who controls Congress.

"Elon Musk could pay off everyone's medical debt and still be the richest man alive!!!" Yeah, he probably gets off on knowing that

I know it doesn't speak to the finest part of my soul but seeing fake internet boxer Jake Paul face the first actual non-retired boxer of his career and get the piss beat out of him is deeply healing on some level.

Time to say this again.

Talk about the things YOU LIKE instead of shitting on things you haven't. No one cares if you aren't watching the show/listening to the artist/didn't like the movie.

Let other people enjoy what's entertaining them

And just like that, SFWA capitulates. Keep fighting. It works.

I'm so disappointed in @sfwa.org for this. I understand that by requiring disclosure of partial LLM-created works, as their announcement states, means SFWA's letting "nominators and the voters" make the final decision. BUT YOU'RE STILL ALLOWING SUCH WORKS ON THE NEBULA AWARDS FINAL BALLOT! 1/
Another Nebula Awards nomination cycle is in full swing, and the addition of poetry and comics, along with the presence of LLMs in industry, required careful consideration.

Read on, and vote well!

We trust our voters & look forward to what they choose to celebrate.

Mrs P grew some chillies.

I harvested and dried the chillies.

To make chilli flakes I put the dried chillies in a bowl and set forth my wrath upon them with a stick blender.

And yea, verily did the dried chillies turn into aerosolized death and fuck up my lungs right proper.

Motherfuckers.

If you need to use pre-minced garlic or pre-cut fruits and veggies, or literally anything else that makes cooking more accessible to you, you are no less of a person and your food still tastes good. Don’t let ableist people make you question your worth.

Funny animal videos no longer being trustworthy just fucking sucks all around. I love the wonder of animal behavior and what it says about the experience of being alive. It's because it happened in reality that it's so fun. It's not fun if it was just made up. There's no wonder there.

It's best to understand that fascists see hypocrisy as a virtue. It's how they signal that the things they are doing to people were never meant to be equally applied.

It's not an inconsistency. It's very consistent to the only true fascist value, which is domination.

If canada actually wanted to piss off the techno fascists we'd make it legal to remove proprietary software on teslas, TVs, etc, and allow consumers to install open source hardware. It would be hilarious and elon musk would literally cry

Anderson defended himself to WP “I didn’t put the injection sites on her. People seem to be shocked I didn’t use Photoshop to retouch out blemishes and her injection marks. I find it shocking that someone would expect me to retouch out those things,” he said.

“it’s reasonable to ask questions about trans girls in sports” was always intended to mainstream transphobia.

It’s absurd that people fell for it. Democrats are constantly letting oppressors set the terms of debate instead of just saying “no, fuck you.”

Also I feel like it goes without saying, but please don't attack people who are forced to choose between getting fired and using AI as instructed by the people in charge.

The onus is squarely on the heads of companies that make these decisions and put their employees into these situations.

This is the sort of contract that if you were entertaining signing it, your friends should smash through a window, do roll on the floor, leap up in a feral pounce and slap it out of your hands
Behold, if you will, the...astonishing...contract from Shadow Light Press. A rolling 10-year term...payment on profit (but only after costs are recouped)...appropriation of the author's universe if they can't continue the series...and more www.reddit.com/r/Progressio...
