This is something I wish my AI-cheerleading colleagues in archives and libraries fully understood: all the work we've done in the past 25+ years, all of it, is now actively being used to putting us out of business in the most dire fashion imaginable by the wealthiest people on the planet

So-called #genAI means the abolition of the future through the proliferation of endless streams of stochastically rendered generic pasts. Having turned large parts of the cultural archive into training data, it now traps us in a foreverized pastness, a 24/7 nostalgia for a past that never existed

have just come across a YouTube account that has been using Sora to upload reels of fake, AI-generated “90s sitcoms” every few hours

It's Nobel Prize week! A good time to remember that the economics prize was created by Swedish bankers in 1968 (67 years after the 5 original Nobel prizes) against the wishes of the Nobel family, partly to legitimize neoclassical economics in the public eye and partly to help banks avoid regulation.

Ja, det är innehållet som är viktigt här, men ändå. Aftonbladet: ”Under måndagskvällen höll föreningen Med Israel för fred (MIFF) ett samtal med en man som stridit i Israels armé i centrala Stockholm.”
Tänk att Israels armé har stridit i centrala Stockholm…

An assassin writes Bella Ciao in the same breath as a Notices Your Bulge meme on his bullets. One of the government responses is a practicing Hindu asserting that the fundamentalist Christian victim will join him in a Norse pagan afterlife. Welcome to the epistemic collapse.

So let's talk about why this sucks. I am so angry and so disappointed, but I also know that a lot of people might not understand why I and my queer friends are feeling this way. Read on for an explanation 🧵(1/14)

Cush Jumbo OBE as the narrator, Hugh Laurie as Albus Dumbledore, Matthew Macfadyen as Lord Voldemort, Riz Ahmed as Professor Snape, Michelle Gomez as Professor McGonagall, Mark Addy as Hagrid, Alex Hassell as Lucius Malfoy, Daniel Mays as Dobby, and Sara and Avni Deshmukh as The Patil Twins.

This Mattie Lubchansky comic seems topical again.
A four-panel comic. Panel 1: A guy looks in on a lady who's crying and says, "Hey, is everything okay?" She replies, "It's just... the Bone Farmer... he died." Panel 2: He: "He was that thing that would break into people's homes and steal their skeletons while they slept, right?" She: "So sad." Panel 3: They are looking at a picture of what I would describe as an interdimensional monster with way too many eyes and teeth. And a bowtie. She: "I mean obviously: IDEOLOGICALLY I didn't agree with him. With regards to skeleton ownership. But his smart li'l bowtie!" He: "You have to admire his tenacity for a cause he BELIEVED IN!" Panel 4: A man in a gigantic glass jar whose body appears to be pretty much just a shapeless lump resting on the bottom of it, obviously missing a skeleton: "Gonna have to disagree with you folks here." The first guy: "Too SOON, Geoff!"
