Hot dogs 💯💯. If you're using AI to make "art", you're just indulging in cheap plagiarism so you can avoid the hard-work part of making art.

Business Insider reportedly gives journalists green light to write stories with AI — and it won’t tell readers
The policy makes Insider one of the first major US newsrooms to permit such extensive use of the technology.

Something has gone awry at the faire this year, and Princess Lilaclaire is not having a great time. Check out "Princess Lilaclaire and the Witch's Frog Faire" by @indigorue.bsky.social today and see what happens when the frogs just aren't cooperating:
Princess Lilaclaire and the Witch’s Frog Faire - Small Wonders
"How's that saying go?" Elsamina scooped a frog from the pond with a long-handled net. "You gotta kiss a few of these before you find your prince." She lifted the slimy creature towards Lilaclaire's lips and cackled. "Pucker up!"

“What’s your argument against generative AI?”
Do you mean the environmental, economic, social, ethical, cognitive, creative, or practical argument? Because I feel like any one of those, even in isolation from one another, makes using it a non-starter.

As someone obsessed with generation ships and space travel generally, this is really cool. Well done to the Chrysalis research team! www.livescience.com/space/space-...
Proposed spacecraft could carry up to 2,400 people on a one-way trip to the nearest star system, Alpha Centauri
The design for a 36 mile long spacecraft, called Chrysalis, includes libraries, tropical forests and structural manufacturing facilities, all supported by artificial gravity.
