in an alternate universe, we could be having nuanced discussions over ethical uses of AI (even gen-AI) but when the AI's biggest advocates are cartoon villains who want us all dead, it's our moral imperative to aggressively reject AI and to make it socially unacceptable to use

I’m coming up to Week 11 and I’m very sick. I’ve tried to write this post much more eloquently, but the reality is is that I have $32 after draining my wallet due to getting dangerously sick and I’m going to have decide whether or not I heal safely or for the rest of the year

I got a verdict today: after ten weeks, the state of WA is denying my unemployment, leaving me with an amount in the negative (currently at -$120) and more legwork to do to try and stay afloat while I make an appeal and try to survive until then. Calling again for very immediate aid:

I 100% have not changed a single goddamn thing about how I write here in the age of "AI." I write how I write. If the "AI" writes anything like how I write, it's because it stole from me. I'm gonna use any punctuation I like, and if it looks "AI"ish to you, you can go fuck yourself.

Authors and journalists are doing more first-person (hello 2010s blogging) and embracing "mistakes" in writing to prove they're not chatbots. There's even an “anti-Grammarly" app that leaves in typos and signs off "sent from my iPhone" to create more authenticity: www.wired.com/story/more-t...

While we're on the topic: if you've been wanting to learn Japanese… NO EXCUSES, DO IT Skip the AI owl app. Pick up a textbook. Back in the day I used Nakama. I hear there are plenty of great options like Genki or Minna no Nihongo. No book? Tae Kim's a good start too. Just PLEASE learn from a human.

This is Neon. I found him wandering down my street when I got back from a walk yesterday morning and ended up dogsitting him for the rest of the day until his owner could pick him up after work. He's the sweetest boy.
