I love this.
An exchange on twitter. controlla.xyz: If you hate Al you probably just hate art and expression It's an infinite mashup of all the best art ever made by humans lesliejandersonwriter: If you hate the juice at the bottom of a restaurant dumpster you just hate food and cooking. It's an infinite mashup of all the best food made by humans!

Reminder: If you use generative AI for *any of your writing tasks* you are a Slopper not a writer and should be ashamed of yourself. The end.

It’s important not to believe CEOs who just want to sell you something so they don’t have to pay people

A screenshot of a note which reads: The job market royally sucks right now. For the past several weeks, l've been applying to every job I'm even remotely qualified for — from retail and hotel jobs to content/copywriter gigs. And I'm not getting anywhere. I have two stories greenlit for the month as a freelancer and I'm hoping I get more this week For now, I desperately need to scrounge to finally pay November rent and bills (I just paid October rent last week) Anyway, I could still use any donations!

I haven't been on twitter in over a year but it seems like Musk has transformed it into a powerful platform devoted to proving he's the most embarrassing person who's ever lived.

a few months ago I said "having generative AI handle absolutely anything with regards to healthcare is a nightmare and should be banned" and a bunch of people made fun of me and called me stupid. anyways,
r/ExpectationVsReality u/Additional-Simple858 • 3d Join Al 'doctor' said my back pain is depression, not a slipped disc. Now physical therapy won't get approved. Al Expectation We are reviewing claim #& submitted on 09/28/2025. Our records indicate the claim was filed under diagnosis code F32.9 (Depressive disorder, unspecified), while the corresponding prescription and referral history list treatment for lumbar disc herniation (back pain). Re: Incorrect Diagnosis in Record Hi Thank you for reaching out. We have reviewed your visit documentation and can confirm that the notes in question were generated using our Al scribe system. It appears the Al tool assigned diagnosis code F32.9 (Depressive disorder, unspecified), while your visit notes and treatment plan reference lumbar disc herniation (back pain). Per compliance policy, certain Al-generated fields cannot be manually updated by clinic staff and require vendor correction. We have escalated this to our vendor support team and opened ticket # . We'll notify you once we receive confirmation or correction from the vendor.

Rereading The Running Man, and what a wild fantasy of a dystopian future where nobody has access to healthcare or food and the rich watch the poor die for entertainment.

Oh no the people at the coffee shop complaining about how their adult kids won't use ChatGPT to make their life’s “easier”. I fear this is more common than I’d like to admit

The amount of people in my life desperately trying to get me to use AI to make my art is weirdly high so I guess I knew this

I spotted this on Mastodon and I find it horrible, not least for the speed with which this has happened.
A post on Mastodon by small cypress (@small_cypress@indieweb.social): As an art teacher I was worried AI would come up as an issue of "why should I learn how to draw when I can use AI instead." But the real issue is that my middle schoolers CONSTANTLY believe all art I show them is AI. Digital art. Photography. Oil paintings from the Western canon. "A human couldn't do that" Being convinced that humans can't make great art is kind of terrifying

Love it when accessibility is embraced.

I just want everyone to experience the same joys in life as me, even if they have to take a different path to get there. People deserve to be happy! 😃

Cyndi Lauper delivered a powerful call to action during her induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Why should my tax dollars go towards subsidizing a company that is literally known to have a product that successfully convinces desperate and unhappy people to kill themselves? I'd like to know.
