Is that it? Is that the entire meet cute? They just lightly hump into each other on a random street? No dropping a bunch of papers or falling down or anything even remotely comedic? Just "Oh, hi"?
Peter Labuza@labuzamovies.com · 2w agoDo people just not write dialogue anymore? This entire scene feels like did a first draft with a bunch of "[insert joke line here]".
Deeply wrong take on the U's part. Every college forcing the shitty sloptech into things will pay for it down the road, & their students will be vastly unready for any actual puruit upon graduation. Teach critical thinking skills, research skills, communication skills, not how to cheat with slop.

And I worry that there are a lot of people on the left who don't care about this problem because they hate AI. But the truth is that as this technology continues to get jammed into everything from customer service to banking to fast food orders, having built-in fair right bias is bad.
If anyone describes your negative reaction to AI as being "Luddite" please note the correct response is, "You're right I'm a fucking Luddite. Sign me as Ned Ludd."
Ugly geegaws stuck on every wall, ugly tchotchkes on every flat surface. Like a 9 year old obsesed with Versailles decorated it.

NEW: Republicans tried to get Missourians to effectively kill direct democracy and ballot initiatives. Last night, Missourians literally laughed in their face — rejecting the measure by a massive 80% to 20%. Here’s what to know:

Professional writer organizations should not send out pro-AI propaganda in the form of tantrum-having "essays" to their members, and I don't think that's controversial.
Regarding The Pro-AI Tantrum In The HWA Newsletter

The Wall Street Journal@wsj.com · 19h agoNew York City’s business elites are long accustomed to direct access to City Hall, where even Democratic mayors felt the need to court the city’s wealthiest and most influential corporate leaders. That access is getting shredded by Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
Tech oligarchs are saying people who make six figures are the only ones who can vote. The president is trying to restrict anyone from getting an art or education degree. But do continue to farm out your books and shows to AI and robots. I'm sure Orwell's 1984 would have had the same ending.
And of those who do stop treatment, kids & adults alike, some only do so due to social pressure to conform to their gender assigned at birth (intolerant family or community) or simply because, in the US at least, they can't afford to continue transitioning.

Well fuck that shit. Any org which claims to be pro-writer and yet pushing AI for any use at all is a fucking joke & should be yeeted into a black hole.
Hillary Monahan@hillarymonahan.bsky.social · 8h agoHWA is platforming righteousnessly entitled Pro-AI assholes and including them in their newsletters as they hawk their AI apps and programs and that's why you shouldn't support the HWA.
it would be awesome if @rweingarten.bsky.social would have listened to those of us a.f.t. members who actually work with a.i. when we told her this was a bad idea and not to do it but now we have to listen to her claim that taking money from bad people to teach bad lessons is a moral imperative

longcovid is not uncommon, not prevented by vaccines, and likelihood of developing it increases with every subsequent acute infection. symptoms can range from annoying to debilitating, and impact people with marginalized identities disproportionately. prevent infection. wear a mask.

RFKJr claims Lyme disease was created by scientists,which is the closest he’s come to admitting that science exists. Meanwhile, Ötzi the Iceman, who died more than 5.3K years ago, had Lyme disease. Apparently prehistoric humans are part of the conspiracy. Get me off this timeline
A far better thing for parents to get up in arms over than whether any trans kids exist at your kid's school.
Weyodi OldBear- The Rood and The Seed is available for preorder@weyodi.bsky.social · yesterday1. Schools are now introducing AI without notifying parents, regardless of the negative affect on children's ability to think and function. If you have a child in public school in the US I strongly suggest a letter accompany them to school opting out of any and all AI use.
