Things are quite stupid but we're muddling through it I suppose.
whyyyyyy have people started using “mortifying” as a synonym for terrifying? 😩 that’s not what that means
destash www.ravelry.com/people/joLio... This is still open, and I finally started taking photos. But I do have to decrease this stash for space reasons and bc I have to pay off medical bills. The deal is: for Black/other people of color/trans/inter/enby people it's pay what you can, #knitsky🧶

Lior 🇺🇦 | knitting design@jolior.bsky.social · 4mo agoI have a yarn support project for trans, intersex and/or Black, Indigenous or otherwise People of Color*. I collected yarn donations, needles and notions of all sorts of yarn, but mostly with a focus on getting started. If you'd like to deal with the current horrors by learning to knit/crochet,
Imagining this thing as a gigantic submarine and the lil lights are windows with people all dressed up sitting andhaving fancy dinners inside :)
MBARI@mbarinews.bsky.social · 3w agoAn expert hunter with a dazzling smile 🦷💙 Pacific viperfish (Chauliodus macouni) may look intimidating, but those dramatic teeth are perfectly suited for life in the deep. They are among the countless marine animals that migrate each night from the ocean’s depths towards shallower surface waters.
“Ai doesn’t judge me” YES BECAUSE IT ISNT HUMAN. Being judged for doing weird shit like DMing someone three pages of argument so you know that isn’t socially acceptable is actually helpful, I’m sorry.
All the people who are anti- bowls of hot dogshit or want to slow serving hot dogshit progress, I have one question: If serving bowls of hot dogshit disappeared tomorrow, could you still get through an entire meal without a portion of hot dogshit?
Story that keeps happening 1. Scandal breaks out involving someone with obvious bad vibes 2. Colleagues and admirers circle the wagons 3. Another revelation 4. Doubling down intensifies for some reason 5. Damning no-way-back career-wrecking revelation 6. “But how could we have known?”
I would be willing to give up AI, smoking, eating broccoli, sniffing glue, betting on the ponies, watching football, Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain. Guess what all of these have in common?
yeah one step ahead of ya there buddy 🙄 are these people not fkn embarrassed?
Alexander Glass@alexanderglass.bsky.social · 18h agoI have one answer.
SPOILER: It won't be "really different", it will just be "slightly worse."
So I decided to watch this long how-to video on writing a novel with AI, and I shit you not, a good 30% of the how-to was all about scrubbing out the obvious tells that you wrote your book with AI. If there's nothing wrong with using AI then why do you need to trick people?
"You actually need to use genAI to underst–" you don't. I've never used it and my success rate so far has been an unbroken streak of discernment. And this isn't a brag, I don't think that's special. I think pretty much anybody is capable of that, actually.
there’s no consistence to how the black oil looks and it’s bugging me #TheXFiles

The other day the algorithm fed me 1 part of a 5 part series of some woman targeting a romantasy writer with “why I think her book series is AI generated” and it was just…vibes. With a caveat that said “just my opinion” Trying to ruin someone’s career over vibes AI has created collective paranoia
Erin Biba@erinbiba.bsky.social · 2d agoThe way that everyone sees fantom AI in original work now is such a fucked up secondary downstream AI nightmare consequence. People can’t critically identify real art any longer and so everything gets accused of not being original. I don’t know how we climb out of this hole.
I wish they put the same energy into feeding people as they do in not feeding people. 😕

Local Autistic Woman Being Very Patient Despite Sustained High-Pitch Whine Only She Can Hear

"Why can't you just appreciate how revolutionary the job-taking, environment-degrading, information-shredding, technology-hoarding, economy-swamping machine is?" My brother in Christ, there may indeed be a revolution in part because of "AI," but it might not be the one you wanted.

AI user: "Hey AI, you're not providing the level of dopamine my ravenous brain requires" LLM: "Wow, you're so smart for recognizing that, the world is lucky to have you. You are going to LOVE heroin."
