It's not a foolproof plan but every political debate from now on should be a Normal Guy competition. Ask them to describe grocery shopping in detail. Talk about what it's like to have a friend

Hey guests! You ever wonder what life is like as a fairy? I'll be offering up to 10 gifts to donators for a chance to "Hesperize" your OC during the Fix-A-Fairy Fundraiser!
They're quick little doodles but I've been having a lot of fun with them!

AWS and Cloudflare both going down within a few months of each other is like chest pain before a heart attack. It's an omen of very bad IT things down the road if we don't fix some shit ASAP.

Keep this in mind as we start seeing more and more large scale outages from AWS, Cloudflare, Github, etc. These are the companies hoping to increasingly automate their systems with AI

Paradox of automation
edit
The paradox of automation says that the more efficient the automated system, the more crucial the human contribution of the operators. Humans are less involved, but their involvement becomes more critical. Lisanne Bainbridge, a cognitive psychologist, identified these issues notably in her widely cited paper "Ironies of Automation."[49] If an automated system has an error, it will multiply that error until it is fixed or shut down. This is where human operators come in.[50] A fatal example of this was Air France Flight 447, where a failure of automation put the pilots into a manual situation they were not prepared for.[51]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:byjjq67p7iau6qufzjmizpbn/bafkreie4ootzzyowpylsxjg7gxsp63iujxh4qceuuxxhwm63yrm2qffa4e@jpeg)

It's going to be bitterly funny when the bubble bursts and billionaires tell the American government that AI is too big to fail because it has all of America's taxpayer info.
TurboTax is about to be integrated into ChatGPT, where customers will be guided through tasks tied to their tax filings or financial profile by the AI chatbot.
TurboTax owner Intuit is also paying OpenAI more than $100 million a year to power AI agents.

If you use or were considering using SAMMI, switch to a different program.
The new sole developer is extremely pro-AI, has already started using it in the code, and is in support of its use for genAI images as well. Everyone who protested this was told to leave the server and stop using SAMMI.

There is always a point of no return and if we keep trudging on in that direction we just get bigger feats to normalize so the next thing will be the new atrocity to focus on. "Normal" .. "status quo" all relative if we can normalize anything. Everything is connected, our struggles + our liberation.
If going back to How It Was is what you desire I need you to know that I will never lift a finger to help you achieve that
We normalized state backed kidnappers
If we can normalize that, why would I ever compromise on housing, healthcare, education, food security?
It's gotta be the whole shebang

Why am I so against generative AI in games?
Because I simply do not want my initial reaction to art to be one of suspicion and scrutiny, AI slop is fundamentally damaging my relationship to art and artistry, and I am deeply resentful that it is forcing me to be guarded when I should be wowed.

Just a reminder that until 1974, US women could be refused bank accounts because they were not men.
Seems like pointing out now that payment processors are deciding who gets to have access to money based on puritanical fascist values, and will also share anything they want with authorities.
