Hey remember when Nanowrimo said "sure why not" to allowing AI slop in their process and then immediately died after 20 years of operation oh, no reason, was just thinkin' about it
the touch screen on my tablet no longer works apparently, beginning this morning. this is bothersome, mostly because it's been playing music for the past 16 hours with no way for me to turn it off, and is nearly out of battery.
If you commission a work of art, that doesn't make you an artist. If you pay someone to write a book, that doesn't make you an author. If you ask a person to create a design for you, that doesn't make you a designer. Getting genAI to do something is not the same as YOU DOING THE THING!
is instagram being fucky for anyone else? it's just straight up not loading my feed or stories on the website (not checked the app as i rarely use my phone)
Gl*nner did this stuff all the time. Tagging celebs, phoning them. Some of it was, admittedly, because he is absolutely bananas, but most of it is calculated. These folk know their careers are in the toilet. They have to generate right-wing outrage and media attention in order to earn a living.
It’s important to view this for what it actually is: a Linehan-style attempt to make a big stooshie and have the press report this as a ‘feud’ with a much bigger, much more successful artist.
Ok, so Madonna who's attained a level of success, wealth, critical acclaim and global adoration from the public and her peers that Roisin Terfy could only dream of has jumped on the 'TQ bandwagon'? 🙄 This same Madonna who in the 1970s was dancing with us in underground queer NY nightclubs... 1/
good: the lab has my film! bad: due to their seemingly unending backlog, their turnaround times are now 10 days. that's frankly ridiculous. nowhere around does a 10 day turnover. i was fully on autopilot when i bought the postage, alas
I'm so disappointed in so many people over their response- or lack thereof- to the anti trans panic. So many people framed it as "they'll come for us next" instead of "they're coming for trans people now". They weren't wrong- look around- but it was ALWAYS enough to be outraged for trans folk.
[weight loss] was feeling great after weighing myself only to find that weight fluctuates by 1-2kg a week just by being alive based on many factors and now i feel like utter fucking shit like what's even the point of all of this if it's doing fuck all
I think! Being a neo-Nazi! Disqualifies someone! From public life! FFS, Zack.
Hello I'm an idiot
Man if only the labour leader could come out and say he wishes me dignity and respect that would really alleviate my stress over segregation i could really do with a dignity and respect please andy solemnly shake your head as you segregate me for my own good

Look, I’ve got a lot of time for Zack Polanski and the Greens, but I do think scheduling an address to the Prime Minister today, on the day the trans segregation EHRC guidance comes into force, and not talking about it or speaking out against it is certainly a choice.
Again with the "bigots claim totally made up shit, experts disagree" headline!

"Any law that degrades human personality is unjust. All segregation statutes are unjust because segregation distorts the soul and damages the personality. It gives the segregator a false sense of superiority and the segregated a false sense of inferiority." - Martin Luther King, Jr.

Anecdotal but the largest audience for generative AI outside of c suite dinguses appears to be hobbyists who are furious someone charged them (or even just said there was a price) for a commissioned art piece once
This is so funny bc removing AI would save me a ton of stress and I wouldn't have to examine every bit of everything I use. Also water. We need it, I want it. I am genuinely not sure if ChatGPT is an app or a website.

"And in real life, Rod was kind and generous. He came to dinner at my house, and brought his family along to one of my Christmas parties, no doubt turning down far grander invitations to be there." Hitler was an animal lover, you know... Doted on his German Shepherd dogs...
it is very funny how defensive (some) people get when you suggest they double check their relationship with alcohol. like that reaction in itself speaks volumes my guy!
[food] today at aldi i picked up some microwave sticky rice, some lemon, garlic and herb marinated fresh salmon fillets, and some baby corn. i'm gonna roast the baby corn in't oven with the salmon, microwave the rice, serve in a bowl utterly drenched in soy sauce. i'm really looking forward to it!
