going to Sacramento this weekend for one (1) specific panel on indigenous coffee practices because it's uniquely related to the short solarpunk story I'm writing.
yeah it's a 6-hour round trip but it'll be worth it.

Mainstream media's Charlie Kirk narrative:
Sure, he believed LGBTQ people should be stoned to death, black people are inferior and unqualified, women are only meant to serve men, 10 year old girls should be forced to give birth.
But he meant well.

Substack keeps Nazis on their platforms AND, thanks to their latest update with Apple, they've made it impossible for current users to port their paid subscribers off the platform.

I don’t like the term hallucination either. As you said, it implies a mind, but it also implies a momentary lapse in judgment, or a mistake. These tools are working as intended when they present misinformation. LLMs provide linguistic probability, not facts.

And they are literally weakening their neural connectivity while doing it. They're stripping themselves of their own creative prowess for convenience disguised as "efficiency."
Hey, writers? Say it with me: "Fuck imposter syndrome." Someone's out there using ChatGPT to do what you're doing because they're a fucking loser. You, who's doing the work, are so much better than that 💙✨
