Stop fucking using genAI. Not even for a joke, not even for that oh so cutting political satire. Every time you use it, you are actively taking food out of our mouths. You are using the weapon of the enemy. We do not need it.
The amount of working artists I've spoken to who are losing or have lost the ability to make a viable career out of it due largely to people's use of genAI instead of hiring artists is genuinely so upsetting. We won't know what we've lost until it's gone.
let's do UBI for her, she'd want us to
Like the time fires raged through Gatlinburg and she just gave the families impacted $1k/month for 5 months and $5k the 6th month. no means testing, no complicated hoops, just "your life is destroyed here's some cash" resulting in another UBI experiment gone right. www.bpr.org/news/2018-12...
my wife has a friend who sent Dolly Parton a painting she made & a letter explaining how much Dolly's music meant to her while she was transitioning. Dolly responded to it personally & paid for her top surgery. Sounds like an urban legend but it's real. I think we're going to more stories like this.

Tim Curry too? Week’s done. Everyone back to bed. Fuck this
People tell me they like suits but don't have occasions to wear one. You can wear a suit to court, funerals, and religious services. Doesn't have to be your trial, friend's burial, or religion you believe in. Go to random trials, attend a stranger's burial, join multiple religions. Try it sometime.
These are the only two shareable pictures I have of the cats (gray is Wally, torbie is Doris):
FRIENDS IN THE NYC AREA: Okay, this is a tough one, but please bear with me. My wife's lifelong friend has stage 4 pancreatic cancer and is desperately seeking a home for his two cats when that time comes. The elder, Wally, is something like 13 years old and DELIGHTFULLY dim. The younger, Doris,
ngl, i thought this was one of the joke posters for Ben Stiller's character in "Tropic Thunder" 😂
Now watching:
We are continuing to care for the community cats who were displaced due to the house fire. They need dry food only. Any donation at all will be greatly appreciated. 💓 www.chewy.com/g/loudoun-co... www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...
He's back in the ICU with "low blood pressure" now, and frankly, this is looking like it might be it. Please, friends, if you or someone you know has a safe, comfortable, loving landing zone for his two cats, please please *please* speak up ASAP.

this CEO comment is how you know with 1000% certainty Stella is right
Saber Interactive has denied renewed claims that it replaced a former Lead Writer so it could “use ChatGPT” in the development of the recently announced title, Rideshare “Stimulator.” In a statement to PC Gamer, Saber also acknowledged previously undisclosed genAI use elsewhere in the title.
Saber PR responded to my post by saying that the story was written by people and no writers were replaced, buuuuut also that the game uses AI generated text and voices. C’mon man lmao
Saber Interactive denies replacing writer with ChatGPT on its new driving game, but says it will use AI for dialog 'as the number of passengers in the game is infinite'
Despite the admission, there's currently no AI disclosure on the Rideshare "Stimulator" Steam page.

I didn’t even see this had been announced. I was lead writer on this one! And Saber replaced me with ChatGPT midway through development. All the passenger voices were AI too. Either they changed direction at some point or they’re not disclosing it on Steam

Bruce Willis's character in TWELVE MONKEYS... Clive Owen's in CHILDREN OF MEN... Harrison Ford's in BLADE RUNNER... All canonically Millennials
It's strange. No photos of Mitch McConnell leaving the rehab center. None of him arriving at the departure airport. None of him at the arrival airport. None of him arriving at his Kentucky home. None whatsoever. Just a statement and reporters giving a quick salute.
Just a little reminder that sometimes, our minds can make our fears and problems seem much bigger than they really are. 🐾🤍
