Liberal application of sugar is the answer. Then they taste like sugar-coated styrofoam!

I'd forgotten, from my youth, how much Weetabix taste like styrofoam. (Ain't enough milk in the world, to...)

Clearing my parts stash--put this together for a friend's nephew and all I had to buy was the rubber feet.

There are so many reasons to say no to generative-AI that have absolutely nothing to do with the quality of its output, even you’ve somehow convinced yourself that its quality isn’t unacceptably low.

I'm extremely grateful for patient editors like @scott-h-andrews.bsky.social — I have almost (!!!!) finished edits for an R&R and yes it has taken me months; this is due to my brain, and you know, the world being on fire etc. But srsly, Scott's comments are consistently solid and so, so helpful. <3

Scrolling through @michaelventrella.bsky.social's Capclave photos, I stumbled on this one of the crowd on the patio late Saturday night eating my donuts and drinking @scott-h-andrews.bsky.social's stout, and it made me quite happy. I'm feel so privileged to have all you wonderful people in my life!

Tech bros running the billion-dollar companies cramming genAI down our throats forget their positions could also be outsourced to AI.

I think it's now possible to make a poli-sci course that equips one for modern political analysis better than most classic theory and has a syllabus sourced entirely from random internet posts.

Visited the ancient Roman walls of Lugo, Spain, yesterday. Built over 1700 yeas ago to defend the then Roman town from various European tribes, the walls are in amazing shape. Loved walking where people have lived for so many centuries.

Reminds me of the time we had to create a counter-program item because a convention decided it was time to feature "the good things." Had to dedicate the first question on ours to correcting things they said. (Among them, correcting a false statement about my guidelines & AI.)

I don't get why cons for readers & writers give air to genAI; platforming its 'benefits' or 'showing both sides'. That's mainstream chat; not discussion for creatives & attendees come to see them. Treat genAI like the environmentally destructive inaccurate plagiarism machine we creatives know it is.
