I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

(cardiologist, braying, in a shared hospital room): I see here you are a habitual meth user. Have you smoked today? Is that what brought you here? Nope, she did NOT apologize for reading aloud from the wrong patient's chart! Just promptly fled the room, never to return, accomplishing nothing.

A question from Reddit that I'll answer here: "What's the most unhinged thing a doctor has said to you with a straight face?"

Exactly. Buying high quality, durable or satisfying goods within my budget means searching for secondhand in good condition, which is time-consuming, often logistically challenging & not guaranteed anyway.

I don't think that people have any desire to buy lower quality goods. I think people are trying to save money where and how they can, which means buying lower quality goods because it's all their budget allows. Who doesn't want to buy the best stuff possible at the price they can afford?

Americans absolutely cannot handle minor personal inconvenience, unless it has been sold to us as “freedom.” The correct response to necessary lockdowns was “our very rich government should pay us all to stay home” but instead a bunch of people went with “I must dine out and it’s tyranny if I can’t”

Peter@notalawyer.bsky.social · 5d ago

it’s pretty obvious that a lot of people remember that COVID lockdowns were unpleasant and from there just extrapolate that they were therefore bad policy

I don’t want to be too sensationalist about this but also I’m the least violent person in the world and I think if someone said this to my face I’d hit them

"A physical book is a delivery mechanism for information," it continues. "Once that information has been extracted and encoded into an Al model, the delivery mechanism has served its purpose. What remains is paper, ink, and binding material. The book is not destroyed. Its value has migrated. The paper returns to the material cycle; the knowledge enters the intellectual one."

No longer content with pillaging intellectual work and dismembering our environment (already critically weakened), AI companies are now hellbent on destroying books galore including rare editions. Shut down these nefarious enterprises already.

Me gusto mucho Control, I'm not coming back y es por eso y por como se sirven de la filosofía Hopecore que he decidido escribir un textito analizando algunos apartados del videojuego actual y su relación con el movimiento. 🪷 open.substack.com/pub/capsula9...

La arquitectura emocional del Hopecore: del nihilismo digital al optimismo radical.

bought candy at the pool for a 13yo and she tried to give me cash. i was like nahh it's nbd, and she goes "girl i have seen your car." 13yo girls remain undefeated. you think you're talking to a child but you're actually talking to whatever gods used to send to punish mortals for their hubris
