Folks I regret to inform you that I just don't wanna today.

I had a dream that I was running a "3d marathon" last night on some giant college campus that involved normal running but also a lot of stairs and I was unfamiliar with the course and went the wrong way several times and I'm tired.

You're the second person I've seen post this tactic and I think it's really really smart and I'm gonna grab a pack just to have on me with my regular 'what if something bad happens?" stuff.

I also need to know: I am fairly middle-of-the-road on Taylor Swift but someone I know called her the Greatest Living Lyricist. She is not.

Who is yours? Either the greatest or your favorite?

Mike Johnson is himself a sexual predator and pedophile. The proud Christian Nationalist has every reason to obstruct the Epstein Files’ release.

Johnson has admitted to circumventing the adoption process and simply “taking custody” of a 14-year-old Black boy, when Johnson was a single law student.

3. We're all still doing a lot of fucking actual work which isn't fun to do what we do.
synoisia.bsky.social
There is a deep resentment of creative professionals based on the idea that we're having fun doing what we do so therefore we must be punished because everyone else hates their jobs even though:

1. Everyone still wants to consume our art.
2. We need money to eat and live just like everyone else.

I love how our entire society is set up to want to consume the work of creative professionals but also to do everything possible to keep from paying them.

But yeah I have a grandma in class who is angry and trying to rationalize her decisions.

Trust me bro, it's inevitable bro, you have to develop your AI skills bro, it's not a bubble...

She's very like "people just don't understand it; they're being fearful like people were about electricity and the telephone."

I disagree. People hate AI because they do understand it. They see exactly the costs and are unwilling to pay them while it's being shoved at us from every direction.

Art history is a well-established field and museum folks LOVE answering questions about the art. They're very much like librarians.

Well, there's a mondo backlash over this. People are getting fired. It's ruining lives.

Her daughter works at a museum. The recently had an exhibit where they had iPads set up with AI that people could ask questions about the artworks with.

Now there are professionals who do this, curators, educators, docents, etc.
