On August 2, 2027, there will be a total solar eclipse over Egypt.

It will cross over Luxor, the Valley of the Kings, and the Valley of the Queens. These sites are home to the tombs of pharaohs and other great leaders.

And you know what that means...

the discourse on what jobs are acceptable to replace with generative AI reveals a lot about what we think of other people's jobs
recently my friend's comics professor told her that it's acceptable to use gen AI for script-writing but not for art, since a machine can't generate meaningful artistic work. meanwhile, my sister's screenwriting professor said that they can use gen AI for concept art and visualization, but that it won't be able to generate a script that's any good. and at my job, it seems like each department says that AI can be useful in every field except the one that they know best. It's only ever the jobs we're unfamiliar with that we assume can be replaced with automation. The more attuned we are with certain processes, crafts, and occupations, the more we realize that gen AI will never be able to provide a suitable replacement. The case for its existence lies on our ignorance of the work and skill required to do everything we don't. By magicmosshka, yesterday's

I have to say I love how elections are done in CA. I’ve never had so much clear info officially in my hands as a voter. Anyone who tells you that the potential redistricting here isn’t being done 100% democratically is totally lying to you and you should 100% never listen to them again.
