It's honestly nice to hear that most of the AI bubble really is people play-acting to keep their jobs: hermit-tech.com/blog/ai-mani... Doctorow has a big essay on this, but I prefer the source (this isn't an outsider, they're a high profile tech consultant actively mixing it up in the biz)
AI Mania Is Eviscerating Global Decisionmaking
The reality of how much damage AI mania is doing to our ability to run institutions effectively.

Is anyone still interested in INJURED PURRMAIDS? I used to do quick fcfs discounts on plush that had minor flaws or damage. Found 3 in my office who need homes! #injuredPurrmaids
buddy i have never used it. i don't know how to use it. i don't know if it's an app or what. i will never use it. if it disappeared today i'd go out and celebrate because it being gone would be instantly great for the planet and humanity
Ayo@darrylayo.bsky.social · yesterdayGuys like this don’t realize that they are the freak
several studies that go into how fast/severe your brain atrophies even with short term use makes me think a lot of people will be severely fucked in the coming decades
Mike Bithell@mikebithell.bsky.social · 21h agoThe specific focus in this video on the way these tools get under your skin and train you to depend on them is an aspect I personally find existentially terrifying. youtu.be/TtvICev9sBE?...
My book “This is Fine: Life Lessons for a World on Fire” is out today. Online and at select retailers.
Fae: “Tell us your true name.” Me: “…Just my name? No birthdate, no SSN, no fingerprint scan, no address, no mother’s maiden name? Are you sure you’ve even got the right Olivia Waite? There’s like six.” Fae: “What the hell kind of bargains have you been making?” Me: “They call it health insurance.”
A couple more of my Project: Anglerfish concepts from @cyan.com's presentation at Mysterium last week:
Plus a couple pieces of DRAMATIC MYST ART which, let's be honest, was the whole reason I joined @cyan.com in the first place. Gotta draw me some spooky Linking Books:
I swear to God, part of the problem of literacy is that we make kids read SO MANY books like this. Of course they’re going to associate reading with misery! We put them in a Skinner box and shock them when they read, what did people THINK would happen?
Nick Harkaway@nickharkaway.com · yesterdayHaving ranted about school curriculum books, I’ve just seen my son’s summer reading list, and all I can say is “I was right”. A more depressing collection would be tricky to assemble. Are we actively trying to convey to kids the idea that reading is dismal and arduous?
I'm just gonna say: it somewhat baffles me that people who are understandably skeptical of opaque LLMs as legitimate sources of information will suddenly go full on "the computer KNOWS" when they are using opaque tools to "detect" AI. The computer does not know.
Susanna Kearsley@susannakearsley.bsky.social · yesterday❤️ Gillian Green, publisher at Tor Bramble, told The Bookseller: “HM Wolfe has confirmed that Daggermouth was written entirely without AI. We stand behind our author, and we do not recognise third-party AI detection tools as a fair or reliable measure of authenticity when used on their own.”
I'm disabled and I somehow edit all of my videos and write all of my scripts without generative AI. Support artists that make stuff! We are youtube.com/filmjoy

None of us -want- to clog your timelines with this shit. I fucking HATE interrupting dumb horny boob posts with calls to action but like If action isnt taken the boobs will stop entirely like we -cant- ignore this shit, this isnt FUN
Hypno-Scream (Comms Open)❤️🩷💜@hypnoscream.bsky.social · last mo.Saw a post saying "I don't want NSFW accounts to talk about voting, just let me jack off" Buddy, NSFW artists and sex workers are being constantly attacked by a government of nonces trying to distract from their own crimes by pinning the blame on porn. They have the right to speak up about this.
If you're part of the BioWare or Sims community and want to talk about how those studios' queer characters and themes have impacted you and your fears for those series moving forward after this sale, I'd love to chat with you for a Kotaku story. Can be reached here or email kshepard@kotaku.com
Kotaku@kotaku.com · yesterdayWell, I guess Electronic Arts belongs to Saudi Arabia, private equity, and Jared Kushner now. https://kotaku.com/electronic-arts-officially-belongs-saudi-arabia-jared-kushner-now-2000721666

This is what people mean by AI is theft. Someone I know later found out an artist (16k followers) they got a commision from uses AI and now they don't have funds to commish me or another artist they like. Not only does the slop machine steal art, these scammers directly steal work from real artists
Some new stickers I'll be debuting at @tailsandtornadoes.org ~ #TTFC #maney #manedwolf #simpled #stickers
