Sadly, all the Learn Blender people were right. You couldn't pay me to go back to Maya or 3Ds Max. And I couldn't pay me either, because their license costs are insane

Support Blender today!!!

Blender is struggling. it's the best piece of 3d software on the market, and it's free. I'm not going back to autodesk.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX
Don't Buy Starbucks! At any location, today and beyond, while workers are on ULP strike!

this sort of learned helplessness is going to be extremely dangerous as it permeates adulthood - why bother to learn to drive if the car does it for you, why bother to learn medication interactions, why bother why bother why bother

I spotted this on Mastodon and I find it horrible, not least for the speed with which this has happened.
A post on Mastodon by small cypress (@small_cypress@indieweb.social): As an art teacher I was worried AI would come up as an issue of "why should I learn how to draw when I can use AI instead." But the real issue is that my middle schoolers CONSTANTLY believe all art I show them is AI. Digital art. Photography. Oil paintings from the Western canon. "A human couldn't do that" Being convinced that humans can't make great art is kind of terrifying

Exhausted momma and tiny tornadoes. Photo from my collection, no date/info.
Four kittens on a worn wooden porch. A black one is walking toward something seeming determined, a ginger tabby and white is attacking a piece of string, a ginger tabby who appears to be the mom snoozes, and it looks like maybe a tortie is sitting toward the back, possibly nursing behind the other kittens.

"...focus too much on near-term goals to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases that cause warming, diverting resources from what can be done to improve life in a warming world... goal should be to prevent suffering." don't poor countries know how profitable AI momentarily is?

It's important to remember three things: one, Tylenol doesn't cause autism; two, autism is not a bad thing, certainly not bad enough to sue anyone over; and three, the only reason they're doing this is so they can avoid doing things that might actually *help* people.

Hey all I really need to adopt her out.

Taking care of her is starting to cut into the money I have saved for rent.

I'm on the verge of ditching the rescue's application process just to get her out of my house sooner. If you can please help please share!

"But when the team looked at the employees’ actual work output, they found that the developers had completed tasks 20% slower when using AI than when working without it. Researchers were stunned. “No one expected that outcome. We didn’t even really consider a slowdown as a possibility.”
