Something that's been rattling around in my brain for a while as I work my way through the Knowledge Fight archives:
Every time someone prompts a gen-AI chatbot, they're talking to their own personal Alex Jones.

I really love this Vincent Van Gogh quote:
"To do good work one must eat well, be well housed, have one's fling from time to time, smoke one's pipe, and drink one's coffee in peace."
No romanticizing the starving artist. Van Gogh said UBI all the way.

Elmer Fudd is in bed with a beautiful woman, but she's sad. She says she feels all alone in the world. Elmer says, "The treatment is simple. The great bunny Bugs is in town tonight. Go and see him. That should pick you up." And the woman bursts into tears. Says, "But Elmer...I am Bugs Bunny."

It’s always “We launched these tardigrades into space!” “We froze them to absolute zero!” “We threw them into an erupting volcano!”
Never “We took these tardigrades on a holiday. They’re getting tiny massages and sipping little umbrella drinks on the beach.”

The main tech disruptions have been Netflix, Spotify, Uber and Deliveroo?
Now nobody can make shows, musicians can't live from royalties, taxi drivers are debt laden, restaurants have to jack their prices and ghost kitchens mean you don't know where your food came from.

Gonna let you in on a little secret here, but most people don't want to see the thing they use disrupted, it's kinda offputting. PC gaming in particular has an in-built skepticism of new storefronts/services because of stuff like Desura and Games for Windows Live, as opposed to what works.
Amazon's previous VP of Prime Gaming said they "tried everything" to disrupt Steam

For anyone else in this position, Please never underestimate the usefulness of annoying the shit out of govt officials, organizing meal trains, being the support person who stays home to be jail support during protests etc etc. I know Gwen knows. Lot of y'all still can learn to help.
There are a lot of us who are not well-positioned for street activism (in my case, I can't risk detainment because my youngest still mostly depends on breast milk for calories), and discounting work that can be done on digital space isn't just inaccurate, it's shaming of vulnerable people
I have a client stewing in shame about not doing enough to counter anti-trans and fascist actions, paralyzing himself by saying that no action is good enough except for the one he is too socially anxious to do.
For some, sending words might be a small risk that builds momentum for further action.

This list (a set of breadcrumbs trying to lead you to the place where you disable the Copilot AI in Microsoft Word) is incredible in that each successive part is an even sweatier and more desperate obfuscation than the one that came before.
