I like to tell stories
Very distressing to discover that I can basically quote the film I, Robot (2004) starring Will Smith and James Cromwell's cat from memory.

The Olivia Nuzzi story and the Bari Weiss at CBS story are the same story, which is that the upper echelons of legacy media are absolutely rife with people who worship power and don't feel burdened by any sense of responsibility to their profession or the public.

Most of us did not choose to write or draw or design so that we could put products on the shelf. We chose to do it because it’s a set of skills we enjoy exercising, that give us fulfillment.
It’s like asking a pro pitcher to just let a machine pitch for them. Fuck off and give me the ball.

Love to see the Sedgwick County Zoo putting out a good explainer on why GenAI slop videos of animals are a problem & how to identify them! It’s succinct, easy to read, and doesn’t shame people for not knowing better. A+ useful link to share with family and friends.

The Reality of AI Animal Content – Sedgwick County Zoo
If you spend any time on social media, you’ve probably seen them – bears bouncing on trampolines, apes caught on doorbell cameras, or “rescued” wild animals acting in ways that seem too good to be…

Exciting news! Thanks to our sale, we've rocketed all the way up to over 4,900 paying subscribers. This means we can cross another goal, a regular columnist, off our list. We plan to sort out the exact specifics in our own time, but for now, who do you think would be a good fit?

Thanksgiving is wack but I'm thankful for @morecivilized.bsky.social every day.
And just like that, we have reached the end of KOTOR II. Enjoy us discussing one of the most famously rushed (in both production and outcome) endings in video games!

A couple things. 1) Love the weird little religion this gas station has going on here. "In the name of Moana, the Son, and the smelly oaf"
And 2) why'd they do Moana so dirty.
