This is set up for laughs, but it’s actually one of the best demonstrations I’ve seen of how being capable of producing convincing sounding language and understanding meaning are two completely different things. A chatbot does not understand you, it just has automated responses based on your words.

On July 8th, we published a piece on AI in Heated Rivalry fic fandom. On July 30th, the New York Times ran a piece on the same subject. We weren't surprised—because we knew a Times reporter had read our coverage. A tale of two fandom articles, part of a longstanding dynamic in the media industry:
Lessons From a Heated Media Rivalry
How we learned that the New York Times has a Fansplaining account.

Normally making fun of someone's passing is in bad taste but I think Tim Curry of all people would be someone who would actually appreciate this.

It’s been interesting to see whose mind immediately went to Rocky Horror and whose mind immediately went to Muppets and whose mind immediately went to Clue and whose mind immediately went to SPAAAACE and on and on and on because no matter what age you are he’s iconic and very special to you
One thing we will NOT be doing today is putting THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW on trial as "good" or "bad" queer media, not on my watch.
Think about Miss Piggy. She lost a best friend and now an ex-lover in matter of 24 hours.
Two of Miss Piggy's most iconic co-stars gone, this world is trash.
"It's given a lot of people permission to be themselves, to not dream it, be it, which is the motto of the movie, really. I would like to be remembered for that." Farewell to Tim Curry (1946-2026) #RIP
Decades before Dolly Parton helped fund research supporting Moderna's Covid-19 mRNA vaccine, she raised money for people with HIV and AIDS and joined the 90s "Break the Silence" campaign promoting AIDS awareness, sex education & condom use - at a time when doing so in country music took courage.
Great article about why kink art is so important
Mike Stabile@mikestabile.bsky.social · 12mo ago"For me, pornography did what no sociology textbook could do. It told me that I was OK, and gave me hope I might one day find a partner who’d think my tastes were OK, too. It followed that one day I might be able to have a sex life in which I could be honest about my desires after all."
One way you know Dolly Parton lived life the right way: I don’t think anyone’s going to get fired for accurately quoting Dolly Parton today.
ed and stede are gonna have fun with their new pet detective 😌 #ofmdnsfw
This woman was everything a Christian should be and the world is poorer for her loss.
FactPost@factpostnews.bsky.social · 5d agoDolly Parton donated $1 million to COVID-19 research at Vanderbilt in 2020, helping fund the Moderna vaccine.
Remember that if you got the Moderna Covid vaccine, you have Dolly Parton to thank, she gave the largest individual contribution toward their research to make it possible.
