Google’s AI Overview is telling people Flock’s ALPR’s are packed with valuable metals like gold, copper, and zinc, so you can see why they might be disappearing Blame Google as the conspirator futurism.com/artificial-i...
Google's AI Is Telling Users That Flock Cameras Are Filled With Valuable Gold and Copper
Google's AI Overview is spreading misinformation about hidden treasure inside another AI-company's surveillance cameras.

part of why the AI market is pushing "everybody is using it, it's inevitable" narrative: I've seen with people in my life the more you lean on it (and a lil bit slippery slopes towards more) it will make you worse at what you're doing until your output is as mediocre as anyone only using AI to do it
The 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?...

While the SCREEN Act failed in the committee, KOSA did move forward. Contact your senators immediately demanding it be opposed, and keep the pressure up until it comes to a vote in the Senate
The Senate Commerce Committee just passed KOSA out of committee with zero debate & failed to move the SCREEN Act. punchbowl.news/article/tech...
I don't have carrier show up, so I took some liberties with messenger. Ironically, I could have called them carrier pigeons. Maybe I will in edits. #WIPSnips If you read the last one, this is kind of funny. Jacques likes having a scheduled position.
The #WIPSnips word for August 5th is “carrier” (Sorry y’all The scheduled post failed.) #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompt
#WIPSnips - Demon King Daughter - Context: Part of Kiseki's introduction. Kiseki is a cursed. Masuyo can SEE curses, but has no ability to affect them. The 'carrier' is that little front-holder style like a reverse backpack. Masuyo has NO IDEA baby-Kyoka can do magic yet. Buy: pjccahill.carrd.co

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
#WIPSnips No "carrier" so have a "mailer" instead. A Fly-Mailer specifically. There is no e-mail in Hell. Which is problematic both up and down. I don't sound cynical here at all. 👀 #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

You ever go so deep into a topic you start emailing foreign researchers on the subject? Goddamn, I feel like a student again.
I feel like this is bait, but I would actively like AI to be banned so I don't need to worry about potential editors/proofreaders/beta readers scamming me by just throwing my stuff into it. Or for me to look up ref pics for a campaign without needing AI slop.
Guys like this don’t realize that they are the freak
Hey, so, there are a lot of times I consider myself a bad writer. But it's still MY WRITING. That's the crux of it.
There is a lengthy pro-AI screed in the latest HWA newsletter and it is . . . a mood.
SOME GOOD NEWS! continue to contact your reps re: KOSA and the KIDS Act, but also give yourself a pat on the back if you called! Your voice mattered!
SCREEN Act, which would have required mandatory age-verification for sites (like this) that allow "material harmful to minors" failed to pass out of committee after thousands and thousands of people called their Senators. More work ahead!
Today is the KOSA and SCREEN markup. Keep calling and mailing your reps if you live in the US. Stop Internet surveillance stopkosa.com badinternetbills.com fightforthefuture.org/actions/stop-the-screen-act
petty, maybe, but it always gets me, a person with adhd and aphantasia that would never use ai, when people claim adhd and aphantasia is the reason they *need* these in their life no, you're just a mark
In a videogame roleplay server I'm in they just banned AI and this person flipped out, saying that because of her ADHD she needed it to manage her whole life and it turned out she had even been making her *tiny* game posts with it too! Then she called it her friend. Terrifying shit. She ragequit
