Nearly eleven years later, I’m afraid that the climate is worse than you remember. We had a brief respite, but we unfortunately found it by shortsightedly elevating progressive influences over the detractors, allowing these regressive elements to take root an... https://wilnichols.com/dear-leelah/

I last wrote on generative AI and its use a hair under a year ago, decrying its sloppish output, its climate and water impact, and its foundational thefts of intellectual property and creative labor.

May’s ben a curious month. It’ll be both Friday and I not know where the week went, and 9pm on a Tuesday evening that’s dragged for hours. When I’m not filling time it drags, and after filling enough, I drag.
