Finished my custom collage comic box using the promotional materials you get from retailers every now and again. Each side has a different theme & the front allows for a single issue to be displayed. I’ve never really delved into collage before, but I thought it was a fun and successful experiment.

Going through Nicholas Barlow’s “Cyberpunk: Envisioning Possible Futures Through Cinema” while having OG Terminator playing in the background had me thinking of when I was first introduced to the genre and whether or not I was genuinely annoyed at the time.

i think the biggest public relations coup AI boosters scored was calling it “AI.” people genuinely think it is an intelligence, and that when they query it, it is providing reasoned answers
it's jolting how little AI skepticism has reached the general public. i've had many acquaintances ask whether i use AI for research and seem shocked when i tell them it's completely useless for that purpose. my wife recently told her colleagues about hallucinations and it was news to all of them.

We've reached the point in our descent into fascism where the Jewish governor's house getting firebombed on Passover by a guy trying to bash his head in with a sledgehammer is overshadowed by the story of the President saying he wants to build foreign gulags for US citizens.

I’m sorry but if your students use AI to write papers and you use AI to grade them zero school is happening. You are running together on a hamster wheel
Why even have a brain, any ideas, any ability to express them, any kind of communication with other people, any desire to solve problems or invent anything, any reason to learn, any use for your eyes or your heart, or any reason to teach or create

It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory.
Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.

Stuff like this is perfect because it shows how utterly devoid of creativity genAI evangelists are.
Great you recreated a photo that already exists in a drawing style that only has currency because of who you're stealing it from giving the world something with absolutely no value or meaning.

OpenAI released a new version of their image generation technology, and people are using it to recreate memes in the style of Studio Ghibli.

Similar to the word genius, the GOAT acronym has become so diluted that we need something to reset the field. I unintentionally roll my eyes anytime I hear it but that’s mainly due to the association with that doofus Tom Brady.
