Tell me what exception you think genAI is OK to use for, and I'll tell you which discipline you least respect.

I do love taking the train, and I enjoy being in the office to collaborate w/ my coworkers, but holy fuck I wish my *6 HOUR COMMUTE* wasn’t so exhausting.
At least I get paid for half of it. 👍

Book preorders are SO critical for authors. They are what communicates to publishers "Yes, this, we want this, more of this" and gives your favourite authors leverage for more books and (hopefully) bigger advances in the future. If you have an author you love (like Riley!), preorder whenever you can
I know, it's not out until October, but pre-orders help books hit big on that first week and get attention.

This is simply not technically possible. You cannot generate enough writing in-house to train an LLM. You cannot generate enough art in-house to train a GAN. People who think they have a model "trained on our own material" are using a base model of mass-scraped data, unknowingly or disingenuously.
Larian CEO says Divinity could have gen AI assets in it but only if the tools are trained on the studio's own data.
"If we use a GenAI model to create in-game assets, then it'll be trained on data we own."

the thing i wish people would realize, especially other creatives, is that the moment you use gen ai in anything is the moment you've poisoned your own well
no one will trust you again. no one will trust any of your previous works post 2020. the rest of your recent works are now suspect, forever.

I still mark the abolition of NSFW content on Tumblr as the death knell of the old, good internet. It was the moment when censorship and sanitization became the norm.
And it's very important to always point the blame at Apple, because it's a perfect example of how monopolistic tech operates.

Hello Tim Cook I worked at Tumblr when you gave us 48 hours to get rid of all the consenting, adult boobs. Up all night at your whim, out of the blue. But you're still cool with Twitter and its CSAM and revenge porn and whatever the fuck this is? Why do you even HAVE guidelines?
Previously, several of these companies, like Apple, IBM, and Disney, have paused advertising on X in response to antisemitic content. But antisemitism on X never slowed, sexual abuse imagery increased, and all of these companies quietly resumed advertising anyways.

The main inspirations for Final Girl Liz palette were Scooby-Doo and old classic spooky Disney movies. It had to be dark, evoke Halloween but still be colorful. It had to fit an old dusty manor with a lot of wood and rich fabrics and allow for some magic fx ⬇️

Note from a veteran police reporter:
NAMING law officers who use lethal force under any and every circumstance IS NOT doxxing. It is journalism. Officers who invoke lethal force are ID'd publicly as a standard -- or were when we were a republic. Asdress, no. Name, rank, posting, etc. -- yes.

I teach bystander intervention for a living and have taught de-escalation to law enforcement.
Trust me when I say that bottle girls, gas station clerks, strippers, front desk employees at hotels and airports, baristas, etc. have better de-escalation skills than any cop I've ever seen.
