an incredible thing just happened to me: my vet has added an indoor-outdoor pigeon to its family, his name is papi chulo and when I was taking pictures of him outside … he perched on my head. I have never been so delighted in all my life!!!

In one of my astrophoto groups, a guy posted a photo that shows some non-celestial stuff in it and someone said it’s satellite constellations and another person said that astronomers really hate those and several men have weighed in to say actually astronomers think they’re fine

This, this, this. The tech bros don't get that every time they say "it's inevitable," a lot of us will just dig in further and keep on fighting even more angrily, because it's at a point where we've seen this before and we've repeatedly said "no."
So that "no" is morphing into "go fuck yourselves."
So that "no" is morphing into "go fuck yourselves."
But here's the thing, every attempt to wear down my resolve on this is only strengthening it, and I am sick of it. I don't think I can overstate just how sick of it I am, because you don't know the amount of AI generated shovelware that's been flooring my inboxes, but every day there's more of it.

This is bullshit.
"absolutely no genAI in games" is the middle ground.
"how many years in jail should Sam Altman get for knowingly stealing all data ever" is the somewhat more extreme stance I personally adopt.

"Surely there's a middle ground here?" The CEO of Helldivers 2 studio Arrowhead says people "jump to extreme takes" when debating generative AI, and that there needs to be more nuance in the discussion.

Always check where the emails are coming from! But at this point, an email with a reset password link coming from do-not-reply@archiveofourown.org seems to be legit. Just delete them.

“What would we do with a human who was running around acting like a suicide coach? Or pretending to be a therapist when they’re not? How would we hold *them* accountable?”
Another day, another story of ChatGPT leading a user into dangerous mental health situations.
How many such stories and cases will be enough to actually get politicians to do something? Or to get universities to stop pushing this onto students?

I'm at the Target boycott, I'm at the Starbucks boycott, I'm at the combination Target boycott and Starbucks boycott
Beginning Monday, a Frozen Peppermint Hot Chocolate drink will be available exclusively at Starbucks cafés inside Target stores.
The chains are hoping the drink can drum up excitement from customers this holiday season.
