I considered writing a long carefully constructed argument laying out the harms and limitations of AI, but instead I wrote about being a hater. Only humans can be haters.

they're so CUTE

VIBRATING AT A DANGEROUS SPEED RN OH MY GOD

Abandon all your belongings and get off the plane now because of a fuel spill—it’s not a great way to start a flight.

It's silently costing people friends and other connections, too. If I see that you are posting or reposting gen AI content I'm unlikely to say anything but I will immediately lose interest in striking up any kind of conversation, friendship, or working relationship. And I know I'm not the only one.

To get day drunk in the airport lounge or not to get day drunk in the airport lounge: one of life’s eternal questions.

I took some of my ADHD meds because I was hoping they’d help me pack. But the thing about my ADHD meds is that if I’m otherwise at all anxious they make me feel like I want to cry. And I’m already sad about going home. So, yeah, you can probably guess how my day is going now.

I just paid €6 for a used book in German called Sex Pots.

Have I told you lately how much I hate generative “AI”? I hate it so much. When people talk about developing the skill of providing the right prompt, my eyes roll back in my head so hard.

they've both aged so well, i'm losing my fucking mind

it's time, babey

sincerely grateful to be among people who shun genAI at every stage of their creative process

My undergrads get such an earful about this yes

In my historical methods training, I was always taught “we start with a historical question.” I would never use “I’m testing a hypothesis” in my work. I might have a working theory or a working hypothesis, but I’m certainly never *testing* it. That’s ripe for cherry-picked, law office history.

The rage this makes me feel after sweating over and painfully extracting from my brain every single one of my 85k words for literally more than half a decade at this point. What a loser.

there is a recurring prompt around what’s the best that anyone has ever looked on camera and I never have an answer but I’m watching right now and I think it’s gotta be George Clooney in Ocean’s 11

since TLADILA fans are actually seeing this post I am going to once again ask that people look at my poster

So much time wasted fighting AI when we could be educating

The number of hours I have spent attempting to redesign my asynchronous online courses to avoid AI is unbelievable.

What’s the best anyone has ever looked on camera? Look, I know I’m biased, but 1980s William Petersen has to be a contender.

Ava Gardner in Pandora and the Flying Dutchman.

If we’re talking just camera, it’s Paul Newman in Venice

The framing here is notable: “a concerning sign” … “for the U.S. economy.” Not for “the U.S. health care system.” Not for “people’s health and stability.”

NPR@npr.org · 3w ago

About 24% of U.S. employees stay in unwanted jobs just for health insurance, a report out Wednesday finds. Up significantly since 2021, the uptick in "job lock" is a concerning sign for the U.S. economy. n.pr/4gQIY5E
