If you haven't yet read Ted Chiang's essay on generative AI and art, get on it. For my money, it's one of the best things written on AI, period—it gets to the heart of what's so dismaying about AI in a single haunting sentence:
"It reduces the amount of intention in the world."

Clearing out America's elite tier by doing MeToo but for plagiarism would be a deeply funny cultural moment and I would be all for it.

we need to drop this whole edgy mean heartless persona that our generation has going on. there is so much evil in the world. it’s so cool to care. it’s so cool to love others. it’s so cool to educate others. u can love people for no reason. u can be nice to people for no reason.

can we pretend we are 12 again ?? so we can start drawing fan art for each other more and do more art trades again and reply to each other’s posts with things like “OMG THIS IS AWESOME !! <333” and draw lots of silly cringy little art that tends to our soul instead of engagement

It's so funny that AI art folks are like "my prompts are very finely crafted, they are my art" and then the prompts are like "photorealistic, insane quality, extremely detailed, masterpiece, professionally color graded, viral on Artstation, viral on Twitter, viral photo"

Some of the clearest/most meaningful pushback on the framing of Palestinians as literal Nazis and politicians’ appalling misuse of the Holocaust to justify genocide comes from Jewish Israeli scholars. I have to assume this garners significant personal attack. Yet they persist.
Israeli Holocaust scholar Raz Segal says Israel's war on Gaza constitutes "a textbook case of genocide." democracynow.org/2023/10/16/…

Cowards. Groveling moral weaklings. Eleven obsessive fascist weirdos are responsible for over 60% of book ban requests, and that was enough to make this company fold up like wet paper.
I met a tiny friend and I adore them. A spotted salamander, disgruntled because I stole the garbage they were hiding under.
Today a patron asked my name, and when I gave it he said “ah. That makes sense.”
What does that mean??????

Please please please let this catch on like wildfire
If the @UAW wins this provision of their contract it will start to filter into every other sector of the economy.
"A four-day workweek might not be as unreasonable an ask as it would have been even five years ago. A new survey of more than 1,000 US workers found that nearly nine out of 10 US employees are interested in the idea."
