It's not just that actual artists flocked to help that artist, but that *genAI users inherently can't*
Because they're not artists.

The Frieran angle thing is so great because *every* artist knows that angle is tough. They've all been through it, learning the hard way how to do it.
To a non-artist it doesn't seem like a hard problem. A non-artist who only wants to be seen as an artist, will use genAI instead of learning it.

It’s not the sexiest of garments. It arguably looks more like a discarded fishing net. And yet it has cast a spell over the internet

This, when people say climate change isn’t affecting us here. We are already having an increased number of high temperature days. Less time able to be spent outside working. You know who works outside? Farmers. Keep your friends and family hydrated. Learn the signs of heat stroke.
Heat alerts possible as temperatures continue to rise

Heat alerts are normally available from December through to February but conditions meant monitoring had started earlier this year.

So ... the government just forced us all to have referendums on *existing* Māori wards because Local Communities Deserve Choice, but now they're unilaterally abolishing our regional councils because they don't like the Choices we made?

I think we're going to see a lot more people turning to ChatGPT for answers it doesn't have and for compassion that it's faking...and I think AI companies are both exploiting and banking on that.

UK politics is insane to me because every time I tune in even 1% to keep appraised of what's happening there the headlines are all like "GOVERNMENT MAKES IT ILLEGAL TO WATCH KISSING VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE TO PROTECT WOMEN AND GIRLS" and then in tiny font underneath "NHS budget cut by 75% next year"

Putting emphasis on this bit as Stanford et al should REALLY think about what they're doing, and what that means for *society as a whole* going fwd.
They are dragging us ALL down, undoing decades of hard progress thanks to narrow-minded Ministers and their often v personal, v petty hangups.

Anyone would think we’re talking about 1000s of children being prevented from going through puberty forever with the use of puberty blockers.
Puberty blockers were prescribed to 113 people in 2023.
Come on now. Let doctors and other medical professionals do their damned job.

Grim to see a shag swim in Cox's Bay stream but at least the water wasn't the usual poisonous looking murk today. Did not smell good further up though. Why can't it be rehabbed?

Centrist waffle doesn't appeal to people. Showing that you care about something, that you want to make people's lives better, that you will listen to them and use your position to do it, and unifying "minor" issues under a coherent story about your principles and goals REALLY APPEALS TO PEOPLE

The thing is, taking a strong stand in defence of trans people's rights isn't just the correct moral thing to do. It's also the politically smart thing to do.
