“I am not interested, nor will I ever be interested. I'm 61, and I hope to be able to remain uninterested in using it at all until I croak. ... The other day, somebody wrote me an email, said, ‘What is your stance on AI?’ And my answer was very short. I said, ‘I'd rather die.’” 🫡

Filmmaker Guillermo del Toro says 'I'd rather die' than use generative AI

Del Toro's new Frankenstein adaption reimagines Mary Shelley's 1818 Gothic novel. Frankenstein was like a tech bro: "creating something without considering the consequences," he explains.

LETS GET THE BALL ROLLING MAN

Denny Carter @dennycarter.bsky.social · 8h

DO IT

Gov. Wes Moore of Maryland has said “all options are on the table.” Gov. JB Pritzker of Illinois on Tuesday said he is philosophically opposed to mid-decade redistricting but added: “I’m not going to sit back and let” Republican states create what he described as an unfair advantage.

"The White House has released few details on the project’s funding — and has not sought permission from Congress, which is empowered with authorizing all federal spending." is in the story

The Washington Post @washingtonpost.com · 1d

President Trump’s plan to build a White House ballroom has underscored an overlooked aspect of presidential power: no one could stop him.

“Our hands are tied,” Rebecca Miller, executive director of the D.C. Preservation League, said.

‘Our hands are tied’: Can anyone stop Trump’s tear-down of the East Wing?

Many preservationists fear the answer is no. A pro-Trump review board is expected to approve the president’s planned 90,000-square-foot ballroom, too.

Republicans keep you from getting food and when there is food they throw it out right in front of your face

CNBC: Millions of families at risk as government shutdown impacts SNAP funding

ProPublica: Records obtained by ProPublica indicate that food banks across the country were expecting more than 27 million pounds of chicken, 2 million gallons of milk, 10 million pounds of dried fruit and 60 million eggs that never arrived.

You could debate the cost of games.

Or you could hear two experts explain the actual complexities of the video game industry's "too many games problem."

No wrong answer, but the latter will make you less grumpy on bsky!

I’m currently at the entrance to Coast Guard Island where National Guard troops and ICE agents are being housed prior to their deployment on the Bay Area. Couple hundred people are here blocking access in and out. Lots of faith leaders here who are praying at the edge of the property line.

Andrew Cuomo’s campaign just posted — and quickly deleted — this AI-generated ad depicting “criminals for Zohran Mamdani.”

Features a Black man in a keffiyeh shoplifting, an abuser, a trespasser, a trafficker, a drug dealer, and a drunk driver all declaring support for Mamdani.

I for one think the Epstein Ballroom will be magnificent. I love the decor theme of “what if Uday Hussein ran a Ramada Inn.” And giving it a theme song everyone will associate with it is a stroke of brilliance! “Thank Heaven for Little Girls” is very catchy.

I always just kind of assumed that the West Wing was for offices and the East Wing was the living space.

So finding out today that no actually it's the place where women have historically exercised some modicum of soft power is clarifying today on a number of levels
