Happy Independence Day! Thank you to the veterans for our free Finland!
I'm not a big fan of this year's Independence Day Reception theme, 'Together.' It's a nice sentiment, but it is not true. This year has been a big proof of that.

Whenever possible I have disabled AI in my browsers and hid AI search results, and very often go directly to Wikipedia to search for topics instead of going through a search engine
wikipedia's data shows that AI is siphoning traffic away from the site, which is a danger to its sustainability. ironically Wikipedia is more important than ever to users who want reliable information instead of slop, and to AI companies that need it for training data www.404media.co/wikipedia-sa...
Wikipedia Says AI Is Causing a Dangerous Decline in Human Visitors
“With fewer visits to Wikipedia, fewer volunteers may grow and enrich the content, and fewer individual donors may support this work.”

This is your occasional reminder that Rose O'Neill, creator of the Kewpies, first published female cartoonist in the United States, and among the first cartoonists to build a merchandising empire on their work, turned out some absolutely baller, romantic-feeling size-difference monster art.

Ngl as corny as it sounds making a comic feels powerful in that sort of, bitch that’s ME, type of shit. Even if it’s not fully how I want it to be — I’m still orchestrating it. I’m creating it with my own paws 🐾 . Plz clap!

I don't want an AI that renders images that vaguely resemble Ghibli films. I want an AI - or just a regular I - that informs everyone the man's name was Yoshifumi Kondo, he's the guy who designed the characters you think of when you think of "Ghibli", and he died in 1998 at age 47 from overwork

The terrible academic hamster wheel of taking so long to get something written for publishing that in the meantime approx. 174 849 595 new and relevant works have come out and you need to reference them in your text that then takes even longer to finish
