I can't say that all applications of AI are evil, but gAI in particular, and the companies that create them, can certainly be described as anti-Human.

Any other “older” visual artists out there that have eye floaters? I hate these little guys but the doc says they’re normal. I wanna take a miniature submarine in there and laser them all.

Saw a meme about GenX being grouchy because they've had so many different music formats in their lives - vinyl, 8-track, cassettes, cds, mp3... This GenXer totally agrees!

I spent the week reading/watching both ‘left’ and ‘right’ wing news on current events and can’t believe how far apart their realities are now. We’ve known that isn’t good but we are at psychosis levels now.
