Workin hard to keep that puppy dog energy and glass half-full vibe
It's weird that a technology built on stealing and lying would go on to steal and lie. I'm shook, the machine must be alive.
I find it hard to balance the risk of being an off-putting AI scold vs giving slop no quarter
Writers/Musicians/Artists told you from Day 1 that this was theft. Straight up. Always has been.
Tyler King@tyleraking.com · 2d ago“A senior executive at Microsoft said A.I. systems built on the work of others will be seen as ‘an astonishing theft of unprecedented proportions’ and possibly the greatest robbery of labor in human history, according to court documents unredacted Thursday in an ongoing Manhattan lawsuit.”
This, but for everything you buy. This is the future, and increasingly, the present 😭🔫
Marge: Homer, Mr. Burns called, he said if you don’t come in on Friday, don’t bother coming in Monday. Homer: WOOHOO! Four day weekend!
Gail Simone@gailsimone.bsky.social · 5d agoQuestion of the day! What is the funniest single line in Simpsons history?
Transgender people deserve to have a nice life. That is the entirety of the argument. If you disagree, you’re saying that you do not believe in liberty or justice for all.
Greeny: "I've seen the cakes" Domonique Foxworth: "Yeah, he's seen the cakes" Steve Smith: "You've seen the cakes?! Oooooh" Greeny: "I don't know what that means"

i need people to start responding to questions about trans women in sports with "what the hell is wrong with you?? why do you care about this all of a sudden? why do you want to impose insane, invasive rules just to stop some 8th grader from hanging out with her friends after school" at the minimum
Any "compromise" on trans rights is both deeply wrong in itself and lays groundwork for worse. Sports bans? Segregate us from part of public life, establish legal grounds for further discrimination. Healthcare bans for trans kids? More trans kids die and trans healthcare as a whole is endangered.
