Gouache painting from a photo I took this summer. I saw this stunning sunset that looked like something from a Studio Ghibli movie so I had to paint it! 😊🌿💖

“We can’t stop AI! We can’t stop progress!” My dudes, ladies, and genderqueer buddies: we have stopped using a lot of things. Especially shitty things that harm us. Remember how station wagons had backwards facing seats until they realized that’s begging for injuries in an accident?

There's NO ethical use of this technology as long as it's built on theft, environmentally harmful, damaging to systems of information and education, our own well-being, and lining the pockets of billionaires. Even if this were all somehow "solved", IMO there's no place for AI in arts, period.

Oh, cool, they’re going to “explain”, ie equivocate. Everybody get their bingo cards ready! “It’s inevitable!” “We’ll be left behind!” “Writers have always adopted new technologies!” “You meanies really hurt the AI boosters’ feelings and need to apologize!”

We understand the strength of feeling this AI Charter has provoked & that more explanation is needed. We will publish a blog tomorrow detailing why, in a vacuum of regulation, this charter demands more transparency & accountability from organisations on how they are using AI now and in the future.

You are loved. Even by a stranger. Even if you cannot see, hear, or feel it. Even if you dislike me for whatever reason, you are loved by me for simply being. The mere act of even the smallest infinitesimal amount of joy is both defiance, persistence, insistence, and resistance. Spread that.

My cousin organized a series of masked concerts in NYC so immunocompromised and other covid-conscious folks can still enjoy live music events, and is raising funds so he can keep doing so! Love and appreciation to anyone able to chip in 🙏🏾♥️ www.kickstarter.com/projects/pos...

people are losing their minds over Ecosia switching their AI partner, but I'm still stuck on the fact they integrate AI at all, as a business that claims to be fighting for climate and environment, huhhhh

I watched a lovely, capable person dissolve into a jumpy, near-tears wreck because the “solutions” copilot was giving her about her laptop didn’t work. “I don’t know what to do,” she said despairingly. There were still plenty of things left to try. She just couldn’t conceive of them.

Using AI for just 10 minutes erodes your ability to persist at hard things - Berkeley News

A UC Berkeley researcher co-authored a study that raises profound questions about how we interact with artificial intelligence in education — and daily life.
