Or stupid.
The predominent anti-AI position on bsky is that AI is useless, fake, shit and basically the same as NFTs, destined to collapse in months once everyone sees how poor it is. So anyone who suggests that it could improve or be useful to any boss in any situation in the future must be evil.

Hey chat, this advice is fire
if you're an older person who finds words like mogg and maxxing annoying, just starting using them. people over the age of 30 have the superpower to end trends by simply adopting them

It's always weird and a little gross when a comic of mine goes viral and I see all the accounts posting it with my attribution stripped out, so this is a big thank you to everyone who shared my work with my name still attached to it. Thank you :)

I will never get used to seeing "indie" as a descriptor for "band that existed in the 2000s"

Harmony Korine embracing AI slop is mildly disappointing, I suppose but it's really the only outlet for someone who hasn't had an original idea since 1997.

Hey Bluesky I don't ever want to save a draft. If I highlight the text in this little box and press delete it means I looked upon my words and chose instead to be a better man. Not because I wanted to save a draft like some kind of draft saver saving drafts for the winter.

There's a reason every advertisement for chat gpt is someone standing in front of a loaf of bread, a jar of peanut butter, and a jar of jelly going wHat sHouLd i mAke fOr luNcH?
i feel compelled to remind everyone that chatgpt/LLMs are functionally the *opposite* of an actual expert.
the more your problems are unusual or novel, the more likely LLMS are to be wrong. they are least helpful when it's most important

The pandemic really destroyed my sense of the passage of time. My laptop strains if I have more than two tabs open and the battery life has dropped to about an hour and a half. I'm upset, because I only bought it a year ago... in 2020.
Oh. Right.
Oh. Right.

Not using AI is in fact very easy. We've done without it for 99.9999% of human history.

Speaking as someone who is both poor and an artist, I can comfortably say I draw "bad" all the time because guess what, that's part of the process.
I will die before I ever use AI because AI is
1) shit
2) an instrument of fascism
3) environmentally ruinous
4) shit
