KOSA has been defeated several times already and they keep trying over and over until the one time it goes through, at which point it becomes everyone's problem. It will be an unmitigated disaster if this passes and they say, well, sorry, now it's the law. Make sure your creature votes No on this.
Hey romancelandia and fandom peeps! If you live in the U.S. right now you should know that KOSA (along with a slew of censorship bills) are advancing through congress right now. If you care about spicy books and/or fanfiction you should contact your reps right now and tell them to vote NO on KOSA!

No, there isn’t a way. There just isn’t. GenAI is poisoning the water supply of Oregon. It’s boiling inland seas.This tech, at scale, is an anti life equation, and all to spit out stolen collages of other people’s work to plug into a pipeline that has to be fixed by an underpaid real human later.

Don’t use AI for Placeholder assets (or at all). The point is to make them obvious they need replacing
Textures should be hot pink
Text should be BOLD ALL CAPS
Animations should be the Macarena

Microsoft, more than any other company, is so techbro-brained when it comes to monetization that they've caused irreparable damage to their brands (especially Xbox, Windows and Office) in order to design products that no one other than shareholders/ board members want.
nothing can put a bigger smile on my face than reading that Microsoft has to scale back its AI ambitions because NOBODY uses copilot.

Not only is AI using up immense hardware compute, but now it's using up so much wetware compute! It's sucking the fucking joy out of things like cute animal videos! I don't want to have to spend time wondering if something cute is made by the world burning plagiarism machine! Fuck! Burn it all down!

The way tech companies constantly do stuff that nobody asked for really tells you a lot about their bigger ideology. They tell themselves that you will like it over time. What they mean is you’ll learn to endure it, or you’ll give up. quality of UI is not actually anywhere on their radar
new iOS update is sleek and also defaults in Music to “you must want songs transition as they would on a dance floor.” so many people will wonder why they can’t just listen to an album. Apps > Music > Song Transitions > toggle off.
