AI tools can help students "create their own" graphic novels like how I "win" pickup games by showing the other team unlicensed clips of NBA players sinking threes on my phone and then adding those points to the scoreboard myself.

Try to imagine Donald Trump tying a child's shoe. Or holding a door for a stranger a few steps behind him. Or helping someone pick up all the papers they dropped when he ran into them.
A person who shits in a golden toilet does not do these things.

There's no evidence Trump has ever driven a damn car.
He has never mowed a lawn.
He has never shoveled a walk.
He has never changed a lightbulb.
He has never washed dishes.
He has said he never ever changed a diaper and he has four children.

something you have to understand about Trump & his weird comments about the economy is that the dude hasn't paid for anything like a normal person in decades - never pumps gas, never buys groceries - so he's completely & utterly out of touch with what life is like for most of us

I can't remember if I met Dalton at my very first Olympia Comics Fest, or if it was later? But he was always kind and generous with his time. He'll be missed.

Scientists at CERN are attempting to understand the quantum forces at play in Fallon's unparalleled attraction to liars and scams. Leading physicists now believe if they can reverse engineer it, such a technology could potentially be used to improve bullshit and hokum detection by a factor of five.

One of the many reasons AI can't produce good writing is it can't hate its own writing. It can't think to itself "Maybe I'm illiterate" during the writing process. And that's essential

also always deeply funny that every sci-fi video game from 1999-2014 was trying to be Aliens, and copied everything except the...working class woman protagonist
Everyone imitates Tolkien all the time except when it comes to the one way it would really matter: making the protagonist of your novel for children a short, fat, 50-year-old man who doesn't want to do anything.

Not at all confident that judges are going to approach this thoughtfully
“…Goodyear’s police department appears to be one of the first to substitute hand-drawn sketches of suspects with lifelike images generated by AI.”
Have you seen this (AI-generated) man? Police swap suspect sketches for AI.
Police in a Phoenix suburb appear to be the first department in the nation to use AI for suspect sketches, a practice that raises concerns among some experts.

Once again gonna recommend the QAA podcast where people who worked with him on a cop show had to constantly tell him that he couldn’t actually do what the character did (like beating people) and that he had to pretend instead of doing it for real

Every facet of generative AI has made my professional life worse, without question, but THIS specific aspect has been driving me NUTS.
Clients, who have made me toil for weeks over indescribably small details, are now approving & producing in-house commercial artwork that looks like a fever dream.

I feel the clients now using GenAI to do stuff and going "good enough" when they used to nitpick at every last detail is due to them finding out all those nit picky changes take time and work they cant be bothered to put in.

Yep. This interviewer prompted Stewart w/ an unsubstantiated anecdote about a superhero movie she hasn't seen into taking a shot at another openly bisexual actor who disdained Method acting & publicly championed Civil Rights causes against conservative opposition. Also his acting mentor was a woman:

This is your casual reminder that executive orders are not laws.
EOs are directives meant to manage the operations of the federal government. Not state governments.
The states that even deign to acknowledge this are the ones who actively WANT to. No one's forcing them.

Both the "Continue" button and the "Try it now" button do *the same thing* in what is the clearest example of a dark pattern I've ever seen. Imagine someone is getting metrics about the "number of Google Docs users who are using AI" and all the numbers are total bullshit.
