Did he get some sort of AI merit badge? A set of steak knives? Or does he just get fired?

To me, this seems like an example of AI for its own sake, and I'm terrified that AI is happening so fast and so thoughtlessly that workers are unironically asking, "If I didn't use AI, was I even working?" /🧵

Writers: before you sign a contract with a publisher, make sure AI isn't replacing your illustrator, your translator, your editor, your jacket designer. Readers: if you're thinking of buying a book, do the same. Refuse. Resist. If AI garbage doesn't sell, people will stop making it.

Kansas legislators overrode Governor Kelly's veto of SB63, which will make gender affirming care for minors illegal.

Unhoused people are freezing. Kids are starving. Many pressing issues.

But making life-saving care for a small group of kids is what they're doing with their time, on our dime.

As I'm looking around at...all of this...I find myself wondering: would my life now be different if [traumatic event] didn't happen? As a two-spirit, indigiqueer, neurodivergent person, I don’t think things would change much. The systems are oppressing as they were designed to.

Queerness isn't the issue. It's the way conservatives and "centrists" treat queer people. Ask me how I know.
I'll keep saying it until people in power start listening:

It's not social media that is primarily causing mental health issues for young people.

It's the material economic conditions they face and then see/express on SM that causes it. (healthcare worries, cost of living, unaffordable rent etc)
One of the most prominent voices boosting policies like Meta's sensitive content restrictions is NYU professor Jonathan Haidt, whose dubious book, The Anxious Generation falsely ties social media use to teen mental health issues in order to push a moral panic about kids and technology use.

I was on holiday when this dropped, as many of us were. So in case you missed it, I was on last month's episode of Bellingchat Premium talking about another one of my investigations into, you guessed it, AI non-consensual content. And some of the worst kind, content of children.
This month's Bellingchat Premium is with @koltai.bsky.social, She reveals how she investigated a platform allowing users to create AI-generated child sexual abuse material and why it is crucial to investigate the people behind these services www.patreon.com/posts/invest...

Gentle reminder (to myself, that I'm sharing with the class): the mental and physical health of the folks you're close to *do* affect you too, and you don't have to act like it doesn't.

Hard to sleep without the scents of fire and sage and cedar lingering
Or peals of Indigenous laughter, audible joy
(unstoppable, no matter how many doors you close ayyyy)
Leaving the embrace of our Two-Spirit Gathering feels like
Tears rolling down cheeks like the rains down the red Canyon walls
