I considered writing a long carefully constructed argument laying out the harms and limitations of AI, but instead I wrote about being a hater. Only humans can be haters.
I Am An AI Hater
I am an AI hater. This is considered rude, but I do not care, because I am a hater.

This is my favorite skull art I've done myself. It's a speculative physiology sculpture of a living-dead coyote.

deepdwn is great. It's in my rotation of like five different text editors I swap between to keep the dopamine flowing.
If you're in a mood to fiddle around with indie software, I made a collection of various tools on itch that seem handy for writing, which includes various text editors. I update it from time to time. Shout out to deepdwn for being easy to jump into and the dev is great at handling issues/questions.

The censorship of 80+ games on Steam this week was apparently the work of Australian antiporn group Collective Shout, which partnered with US evangelicals to pressure Visa and Mastercard.
They claimed, without evidence, that the games involved child abuse.
