I just was offered a seminar by my labor union, on how to "let AI free up a workday a week" for me. You'd think a technology focused union might grasp that that's not how anything works.

I am very tired of objections to genAI slop like "this is soulless garbage and I don't want it ever" being met with "We hear you! 🧑💼 We can make a better more believable AI presenter. ✍️A less uncanny article. 📖A really undetectable AI voice reading a book to you. 📒We are ✨working✨ on your feedback!"

Apropos of nothing: It is vitally important to always have a person in your life that will not hesitate to, honestly and kindly, tell you when you are completely full of shit.

The thing about posting glowing praise of LLM's is that everyone now knows you suck. It's like driving a cybertruck, it conveys the same thing.
"This guy's gonna end up on the evening news after annihilating his family or following a pizza recipe that asks for pool cleaner or something"

These guys make a habit of only saying DEI because saying you are against diversity, equality and inclusion makes you sound like a cartoon villain.

Currently at:
— only buy tech too old to have AI built in
— painstakingly disable AI every time they add it to something that used to work perfectly well
— if it can't be switched off, abandon the platform or tool
— if there are no good alternatives, avoid the AI parts
— patiently wait for the crash

This is how I try to be. If I fail you in that respect, please let me know.
True mensches (decent human beings) are willing to hear when someone says, "you failed here; there's repair that's needed."
True mensches are willing to ask what might be useful if they're not sure.
I just had a conversation with someone who listened & responded like a grownup. It was refreshing.

Age verification: to play video games I needed to know what "LOADING READY RUN" entailed.
Age verificafion: we had to use pliers to change the broken tuning knob on the TV to VHF-3 if we wanted to play Nintendo.

As if we needed more incentive!
AI advocates have warned that if every author in the class action filed a claim, it would "financially ruin" the entire industry.
Authors celebrate “historic” settlement coming soon in Anthropic class action
Advocates fear such settlements will “financially ruin” the AI industry.

if you’re willing to throw another population under the bus to save yourself, you’re not actually willing to fight fascism.
fascism isn’t a bear, it can’t be escaped by simply outrunning someone slower than you.
the only way it can be defeated is through solidarity.

So... I'm gonna be a bit more blunt today in regards to AI usage in the TTRPG space.
The harder it is made for folks using AI to find acceptance and gain traction, the less of it we will see.
This means blocking them on Social Media, and reporting them on sites where they sell their trash.
