Happy Yuletide
And Christmas

I have been spending most of my holiday a bit sick and sluggish but I spend the day today doodling with my kitties. I had this idea for a Christmas painting but unfortunately, it only got to a sketch phase and wanted to share it anyway.

Hope you all have a lovely day.

Hope you all have a nice and relaxing holiday

I was showing the old Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer to my class today and noticed for the first time that Hermey doesn’t have elf ears.
Totally looking at that character very differently now….

this field biologist does a great job highlighting the insidiousness of AI editing

these one-click AI edit buttons are incredibly appealing to many photographers, amateurs and professionals alike, and are framed as innocuous

this is worth sharing and educating people about

Hot dang this video essay hits hard, is well researched, and aligns so well with what I think ails this world.

I feel that now, more than ever, solidarity of the 99% will truly be one of the few things that can fix this absolute mess of a techno feudal-ish world.

1/3 Massive efforts are being done to ensure states do not regulate GenAI.

Regulations like CA’s AB-412. A transparency bill that terrifies Big Tech!

On Dec. 8th, there is a major hearing on this bill.

We need as many folks to show up! Come join in support of creatives!

Zach has done a great job bringing a lot of resources, sample scripts, etc on how to call your senators AND representatives to urge them to vote NO on the AI moratorium in the NDAA!

Check em out!

Btw I thought at first, it was only Senators we needed to call. Please call your representatives too!
Like some kind of zombie cockroach, THE BAN ON STATE AI REGULATIONS IS BACK FROM THE DEAD!! 🪦

Please call your senators and rep NOW and tell them no state AI regulation ban!! A cheat sheet of who to call, scripts of what to say here: tinyurl.com/msa69nkv

🚨 Yet again Ted Cruz and Steve Scalise are trying to sneak in a moratorium on state GenAi legislation.

If passed states can no longer enact laws for transparency, child safety, privacy, environmental protection etc.

We got 3 days to stop this. Call now!

Share a TV series you've watched from beginning to end more than once.

(I have so many actually, it’s hard to pick one. Some shows I used to rewatch for comfort. But this one is the most obscure and I wonder how many people here know it.)
