lot of negativity towards AI lately, but consider :

are these tools ethical or environmentally sustainable? No.

*but* do they enable great things that people want? Also no.

*but* are they being made by well meaning people for good reasons? Once again, no.

maybe you're not being negative *enough*

BRUTAL MOCKING OF ICE CONTINUES

Brave masked agents some now having PTSD (Post Taunting Stress Disorder) are being attacked with humour, jibes, cutting comments and even the 'N' word, Nuance. One agent told how he was slashed with sarcasm and will not return to active duty.

This is a good news. I hope Newark airport does the same thing. As much as I now loathe flying, I never imagined the worst part of the trip would be being forced to watch this crap on the TV screens. They’ve never had the slightest respect for people who did not vote for them.

I would love to pay all the people I respect in independent media, but I don’t have an extra $100 per month lying around.

I wish I did.

I think the problem isn't just extreme media consolidation in the news world... it's also fragmentation. To get the news you used to get for free, or $10 a month you now need to spend $150 across a dozen newsletters. It's the worst of both worlds.

The Portland Frog army has now infiltrated Tulsa, OK and they’ve made an unlikely alliance with the T-Rex infantry and Sharks on Hoverboards mercenary forces.

This is truly terrifying.

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

Apparently Trump thinks Mark Carney is our “president.”

Demented. Literally.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 17h

Trump: "You have Canada. That's so great to have, in fact. The president called and he wanted to know if it's worth -- well he knew exactly what it is. He knew the importance. Where's Canada, by the way? Where are you? He knew the importance of this."

Wow. Something the rest of us knew since inception.

Your politicians are stunningly stupid. And constantly
fellating the right wing...why is that?

And after it rains
There's a rainbow
And all of the colors are black
It's not that the colors aren't there
It's just imagination they lack
Everything's the same
Back in my little town.

The USA today, sadly.
