One of the most common arguments you hear from fans of generative ‘AI’ is that it’s not plagiarizing people’s work, it’s just learning like a human learns. So I’m going to break down why that’s just not true, and why it can never be true, with the existing systems. 1/

I'm not hostile to the Abundance Agenda per se but I *am* irked by the sense that its adherents disdain the conservation movement as a bunch of retrograde obstructionists who only exist to weaponize NEPA & block govt from building Stuff Humans Need. Like does Ezra Klein even know what a bird is.

This residency was life changing. I got to go during fall, and I picked apples and pears and quince everyday. It was amazing.

The worst part of hosting the neighborhood social at the local brewery is showing up 30 minutes early to roost over two ten tops as the bar gets busier ☠️

Thrilled to receive our copy of @johnallentaylor.bsky.social’s new collection TO LET THE SUN. John is one of our bravest, most compassionate poets; his chapbook UNMONSTROUS was a masterpiece and this book is undoubtedly another. See the post below to order TLTS yourself from U of Arkansas Press!

These resources and organizations are providing aid to those affected by the Los Angeles fires.
Here’s how you can help fire-affected Angelenos.
