Full stop, don't use any Generative AI.
I don't care if you need ideas for something, or can't write for shit. Yes you can. There's plenty of inspiration already in the world.
Gen AI is a cheap theft machine and if you have any credit or dignity for yourself you would be wise not to use it.

This is a really great deal for both parties. Not only does YouTube pick up classic episodes of the series and extends its association with the valuable brand, but Sesame Workshop also has another new programming partner where they'll produce new platform-exclusive material. All good on the Street.

Someday I’ll actually beat Minecraft properly and kill the ender dragon. Until then: my endgame goal will continue to be building a cool house.

I’m trying to make this my primary social media instead of Twitter but it’s challenging when some of my favorite artists don’t crosspost to here.

Hey, as a librarian I need to tell you:
Our funding depends on usage.
So go ahead and check out that book even if you don't think you'll finish it. No one will know. Check out that DVD even though you might not like it. Get ambitious in your quest for knowledge.

I REALLY want to like this movie. The biggest things holding me back at the moment are Jared Leto and the “Tron in the real-world” premise. Part of what makes Tron Legacy work so well for me is its world design. I WANT this to work, but I’m just a little weary.

The fact this never became a series or even got some kind of sequel should be a crime.

Personally, the best quality any media can have is to have me thinking about it long after I’ve first experienced it.
I typically still have to think it’s critically good at least, but it’s that extra factor that has me love (or at least be fascinated by) it above its peers.

I don’t post or tweet much nowadays. Part of it is the transition to a new platform, part of it is just because of how turbulent the last few months have been for me.

It's been over two weeks and these are still on the eShop. Nintendo hasn't responded to any of our reports of these egregious scams which are using our trademarked game name and purposely tricking Nintendo customers into buying cheap fakes.
It gets worse...

we aren't going to defeat AIs by trying to stop them from scraping, this is a battle against unregulated, unfettered capitalism and I don't think anything but legal mandates to delete the datasets/trained data they illegally stole will stop this
New from 404 Media: Bluesky may have said it won't use user data to train generative AI, but someone else just published a dataset of million Bluesky posts for "machine learning research". Already very popular dataset, your data may be scraped www.404media.co/someone-made...
