I would rather have pronghorn antelope and bighorn sheep and elk and purple sage and four wing saltbrush than data centers and so far no one in tech has presented a compelling vision for how to have all of those things, they just seize more resources for the plagiarism engine.

I got a message that was almost legit but is most definitely a scam. Took some double checking but I could confirm it's not real. Claimed I had a wage garnishment court case. Had a filing number and everything. How did I double check so I didn't get scammed? 1/2

Where I live you have to drive 4 hrs one way to get a mammogram. This also includes most diagnostic tests that are not blood tests or MRIs. Our local hospital is a grade C which means it cannot take patients. It can transfer them but that's it. All other hospitals are an hour away. 1/2

I think if a business, convention, or vendor want increased sales and visibility without spending anything they need to put out an official statement on AI. Will I be more likely to buy if you have a clear statement saying you won't use AI art? Most definitely!

I went on Spoonflower.com to look at fabric and apparently they don't have any policy against AI there either. 🫩 you can search 'AI fabric'. I did read the TOS and didn't see anything about AI at all. I guess solid color fabric or my own hand printed designs are just about all that's left. 🤬

Had a long talk with my mom about which standards students should have mastered before entering middle school (6th grade/ approx. 12 years old). Of course she didn't understand what children are capable of at what age. I also had to remind her that our family is extremely advanced compared to 1/

'You'll choke too' - an aerial embroidery landscape inspired by all the wildfires happening right now... I'm upset every time I smell smoke outside and somehow we have people starting them maliciously too! But we all breathe the same air so they'll choke too (1/2 - see thread for close-ups)
