This is the fancy one that I got off Etsy. Sadly the seller is no longer on.

She said something similar about the Dresden Dolls, but I can't remember the song (maybe "Delilah"?)

I remember them too! I hope they are well.

Could I be added please?

You could add me if you like!

And today...that's all we could talk about. Urgently, with great worry.

I'm not sure what the point of this skeet thread is, other than, jeez, generative AI is a Problem with a capital P and one should tell a N*zi to shove it. (8/9)

The reason why I was at the Memory Lab opening was because I was a contributor to the Memory Project's recommendations about digitally recording, recirculating and remixing Holocaust testimonies. This was in 2022-2023. They did create one on AI too, but generative AI wasn't at this level then. (7/9)

AI can be very useful, but everyone has to focus on its truly terrible impact and I resent that so much. I don't actually want to think too fatalistically about AI, but a young technology with ignorant and/or malicious users are forcing us to panic. And it's moving so quickly! (6/9)

Professors have also asked me to provide support for classes where we transcribe them with AI and the corrections are part of the research work they do for their grade. (I will finish writing that paper on the experience one day...) (5/9)

...let's just say I could use them for found poetry projects. Seriously, I keep a text file of the really weird ones.

I've been using speech to text AI long before the wonders of Chat GPT etc (since 2017) and it's helped the archive so much with providing access. (4/9)

I know my pinned skeet mentions AI. This is because the testimonies' transcripts are generated through AI engines like Whisper, Sonix, Trint, etc. My job is to manage their production and corrections-and yes, that's word for word corrections because, whew, what it spits out sometimes... (3/9)

A lot of this is predictable. Everyone is using generative AI, far right actors will exploit it, people who think technology is Always Good will fall for it/"listen to both sides!" it. I'm not going to bother to rehash all the problems with AI, we know them. (2/9)

Wow, that is hella insulting.

Yuck.

I also saw something advertised as a "cable knit throw." It was only garter stitch with a ribbed border. I'm sure anyone in an aisle near me has been amused by my muttering on both topics.
