Hey, if I ever make a video and something I say in it sounds like it’s AI-generated, I won’t need to check my notes or look at my script or watch my video to get an answer back to you because I don’t use AI. If I have to do any of that to confirm I thought up my words then I’m too far gone already.

its very telling that the mainstream media narrative is that dsa has wacky and unreasonable positions when the republican party position is that abortion should be banned, latino families should be put in concentration camps, black people should be shot by cops and transgender people shouldnt exist

A lot of people seem to hate my invention, the pedophile mechanical turk, simply because it will replace them and is fueled by rivers of blood. Sorry, luddites. It's here to stay.

I will reiterate: Christians in the West evangelize in public for the same reason men catcall. Neither is trying to persuade you; both are reminding you that the public sphere belongs to them and you exist in it at their sufferance.

When people who repeatedly make very basic unforced errors in their ostensibly carefully researched science communication reveal that they use genAI it is less of a revelation and more of a confirmation.

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

My portable CD player is nearly 26 years old; it can still play compact discs manufactured today, has replaceable batteries, and has not lost functionality due to an update.

Years in the making, I finally have a working prototype of my Camera GBD-M2 (previously shared as Game Boy Camera M2). A sequel to the Game Boy Camera M1, this new redesign uses original Game Boy Pocket & Game Boy Camera chips into a camera-like shape roughly the same size as the Ricoh GR III.

The legacy media is reconsidering the White House Correspondence dinner because Trump insulted them. What they don't get is that they insulted their viewers and readers by attending in the first place. Support independent media that doesn't suck up to Trump whether he is nice to them or not.

I look forward with a sense of bittersweet hope to the day I buy the last game on my #Playdate wishlist. I fear that day may never come, for I continue to find games to add to it at a faster pace than I can buy them off of it.
