We're at the next stag of the authors' lawsuit against Anthropic.

Check the link below to see which of your books they raided and then click through to file a claim.

Four of mine were in there.

#SaveSpeech

KOSA and the Stop CSAM act are both extremely high priority

Lawmakers are looking to repeal section 230 and they are getting phone calls ENCOURAGING reps to do so!

We need to call and drown out the opposition so we can save a free and open internet!

Their memorials are history. Ours are political. Because as always, there are two sexualities - straight, and political.

Two genders - male, and political.

Two religions - Christian, and political.

Two races - white, and political.

Plus, Duolingo sucks at teaching you Japanese, most of it is just things you're going to use in a trip, not a long term second language.

Leave Duolingo behind, it uses AI Slop and doesn't teach you Japanese

If you needed any more reasons not to use Duolingo to learn Japanese or other languages, they're now catering to transphobes.

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like
Why should I write better when a machine can do it for me? Because actually no one can do it for you, because your voice is unique among all the people on earth. Siri never petted a horse's neck. Alexa has never been ghosted by the captain of the football team. But you have lived, your heart is beating, you have suffered, and you have something important to say. It's a human's job, to use words, and whatever job you give to a machine, that part of your brain goes dark. Maybe it's worth it when it comes to remembering phone numbers and directions, but when that part of your brain that uses words goes dark, that's a vast area that's very close to your soul. Don't let some internet platform convince you that what you have to say and create isn't worthwhile. Words are the echo of your soul. Honing that echo matters.

Lawmakers in at least 27 states have introduced bills that would require voters to provide citizenship documents like a birth certificate or passport to vote. Such rules would block huge numbers of American citizens from

State Bills Would Require Passport or Birth Certificate to Register to Vote
As the Senate considers the SAVE Act, some state legislators are trying to replicate the bill’s restrictive show-your-papers requirements for voter registration.

re: generative AI

I have finally fully and accurately explained my problem with how it’s marketed and used.

And now, you can use it, too.
Generative Al is being marketed as a tool designed to reduce or eliminate the need for developed, cognitive skillsets. It uses the work of others to simulate human output, except that it lacks grasp of nuance, contains grievous errors, and ultimately serves the goal of human beings being neurologically weaker due to the promise of the machine being better equipped than the humans using it would ever exert the effort to be. The people that use generative Al for art have no interest in being an artist; they simply want product to consume and forget about when the next piece of product goes by their eyes. The people that use generative Al to make music have no interest in being a musician; they simply want a machine to make them something to listen to until they get bored and want the machine to make some other disposable slop for them to pass the time with. The people that use generative Al to write things for them have no interest in writing. The people that use generative Al to find factoids have no interest in actual facts. The people that use generative Al to socialize have no interest in actual socialization. In every case, they've handed over the cognitive load of developing a necessary, creative human skillset to a machine that promises to ease the sweat equity cost of struggle. Using generative Al is like asking a machine to lift weights on your behalf and then calling yourself a bodybuilder when it's done with the reps. You build nothing in terms of muscle, you are not stronger, you are not faster, you are not in better shape. You're just deluding yourself while experiencing a slow decline due to self-inflicted atrophy.

looks into the camera
screenshot from article. text reads: "When the marketing maestro got down to business, she realized it was going to require a complete overhaul. Ultimately, she spent 20 hours redoing the copy from scratch - and with her $100-per-hour rate, that meant her client was shelling out $2,000 for copy that likely would have ended up being far cheaper had a human just written it in the first place."

You can try the Microsoft just released a Quake 2 demo that runs on genAI.

It forgets where you are you each time you look at the floor and soft-locks when it's to dark. A technological marvel.

Shit, this is NSEERS. We’ve seen this before!

20 years ago, Bush did this to mostly Muslim boys and men, ages 16 and up. Special Registration devastated communities.

Now Trump’s trying to target everyone: all genders, all nations, 14 and up.

This is literally “first they came for the Muslims.”

🚨This is a federally centralized target list.🚨

If you’re undocumented and sign up, they’ll eventually find a pretext to sweep in and deport you.

If you don’t sign up, it will be declared a criminal offense, and THAT will be the pretext to sweep in and deport you.

What should confound them is that it's EVIL! Annexing Canada is EVIL! Introducing this completely foreign idea from within his degenerate brain is EVIL! Humoring it is EVIL! Weighing its pros and cons is EVIL! Weighing its fucking electoral impact is EVIL! THREATENING OTHER COUNTRIES IS EVIL! God!

american journalists have a brain when framing recent us-canada relations challenge (impossible)
NBC article: What also confounds Republicans about Trump's idea is that annexing Canada would potentially add millions more Democrats to American voter rolls. Canada is a liberal-leaning nation with a population larger than California. Were Canada to become a state, it could mean 50 more House seats and two additional senators — auguring a real power shift in government.
