Getting real sick of slop midwives pleading for a 'respectful discussion' of AI as relates to the arts. Your use of AI to 'make art' is not respectful. It benefits from stolen art, destroys the planet, and does not make you an artist any more than someone driving 26.2 miles is a marathoner.

MSG’s new lawsuit against @wired.com isn’t just about defamation. It’s an attack on the newsgathering process itself. If journalists can be sued for talking to sources with NDAs, powerful institutions have another way to keep their secrets.
MSG revives legal theory that once haunted ‘60 Minutes’

#Quiltsky has anyone purchased from stitchsews.com? The website seems ok, but they have A LOT of stuff and the address on the website is a residence in Cleveland, OH, which seems weird for how much product is listed on their site. They have the paypal icon, but there's no paypal option at checkout.

Sometimes introversion looks like having an 8 hour work day that includes 7 hours of meetings and phone calls and being so exhausted after that you could go to bed/sleep before 8 p.m. 😴

I’ve just finished a book in which a malefactor is devoured by coconut crabs and truly my cup runneth over. Coconut crabs: is there anything they can’t do?
I just went through round two (a writing assignment) for a job I probably won't get. But you know what: if I hadn't even tried I'd regret it, so I went for it. I was smart and creative and even (very subtly) funny.
