Literally just talked about this with my therapist, while masked, and she asked me, “do you want me to wear a mask?”
I said, “I want you to *want* to wear a mask.” I want folks to care about not getting the community sick, especially with Covid.

One thing I’ve learned that is that arguments in favor of something that does measurable harm to your community — using genAI, skipping vaccines, not wearing masks — are generally not reasoned or based in science or even deeply held beliefs. The actor simply does not want to *have to do something.*

I may delete this because it’s a bit spicy but it shouldn’t be lost on us that games being turned into TV is essentially harvesting the stories written by those who don’t have union representation or healthcare with WGA by those that do. Our stories are good enough for TV but the writers aren’t?

Thinking about Big Bertha, the world's oldest cow from County Kerry, who died just before her 49th birthday after calving 39 times over her life (another record) - she also raised thousands for charity, lead the St. Patrick's parade in Sneem, and had her birthday and wake in a local pub

good reasons not to use ChatGPT and other AIs:
1. it is a tool of fascism
2. once you are in its ecosystem, and rely on it, it can be used to manipulate you
3. if a service is free, *you* are the product
I know it's convenient, but resistance requires us to be uncomfortable for the greater good

Now you too can play a slowed down version of a game from 20 years ago with no actual level design or enemies and all it costs is a complete collapse of the world economy, biosphere, education system, and multiple entire creative industries.
Project Genie is an an experimental research prototype that Google gave @jaypeters.net access to this week, though he may not be using it in exactly the way Google intended.
Here's Jay's version of something like Super Mario 64:

I needed about 100g of Gorgonzola for a dish. But they only sold the cheese in 250g allotments.
Guess I’ll just have to eat the rest of this cheese.
Woe is me.
