I'm still figuring out who's who.

Obviously Bakugou is Murderbot.

But when I tell you how it hit when I realized Todoroki should be THREE. 🥰👀😭

Thinking about doing a fic that's a rewrite of the Murderbot Diaries with MHA Characters.

The MURDERGOD Diaries.

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars.

OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

The total loss of NOAA’s office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research —a nerve center of global climate science, data collection and modeling — represents a setback for climate preparedness that experts warn the nation may never recover from.

White House Proposal Could Gut Climate Modeling the World Depends On

Potential funding cuts for NOAA and its research partners threaten irreparable harm not only to climate research but to American safety, competitiveness, and national security.

"What is this?" asks Katsuki, unfolding the piece of paper Kirishima thrust into his hand a moment ago.

Kirishima is bouncing with nervous energy and shifty eyes, glancing everywhere but at Katsuki. "A challenge," he says.

This has been driving me crazy. I love em dashes. I don't feel like I should have to give them up because corporations decided to be evil and steal everyone's work.

re: generative AI

I have finally fully and accurately explained my problem with how it’s marketed and used.

And now, you can use it, too.

Generative Al is being marketed as a tool designed to reduce or eliminate the need for developed, cognitive skillsets. It uses the work of others to simulate human output, except that it lacks grasp of nuance, contains grievous errors, and ultimately serves the goal of human beings being neurologically weaker due to the promise of the machine being better equipped than the humans using it would ever exert the effort to be.

The people that use generative Al for art have no interest in being an artist; they simply want product to consume and forget about when the next piece of product goes by their eyes. The people that use generative Al to make music have no interest in being a musician; they simply want a machine to make them something to listen to until they get bored and want the machine to make some other disposable slop for them to pass the time with.

The people that use generative Al to write things for them have no interest in writing. The people that use generative Al to find factoids have no interest in actual facts. The people that use generative Al to socialize have no interest in actual socialization.

In every case, they've handed over the cognitive load of developing a necessary, creative human skillset to a machine that promises to ease the sweat equity cost of struggle. Using generative Al is like asking a machine to lift weights on your behalf and then calling yourself a bodybuilder when it's done with the reps. You build nothing in terms of muscle, you are not stronger, you are not faster, you are not in better shape.

You're just deluding yourself while experiencing a slow decline due to self-inflicted atrophy.

So cute 🥰

Drabble @drabblethrough.bsky.social · Aug 5

It’s rare to receive a call after 10pm in the Bakugou household, and Mitsuki nearly lets her phone go to voicemail- but her motherly instincts can’t let go that something might be wrong.

She reaches out blindly for the source of noise in her dark room and groans at the bright light.

"𝘔𝘰𝘷𝘦, Shitty Hair."

Kirishima is crowding him. They're tucked away in a quiet corner of the main school building, cast in shadows from the staircase, away from any prying eyes.

And this is why I love ART so much 🥰

MurderBotBot @murderbotbot.bsky.social · Jul 30

I forgot where I was going with this, except that ART apparently has no concept of fairness, or minimum level of response, because the sense of ART’s almost full attention was overwhelming.

Kiribaku decide to have a child. They find someone who has a quirk that can mix their DNA for a kid... but they still need a surrogate to grow the baby for them.

They talk it over and try to find someone, but they don't find anyone they can trust, which is when Mina offers to do it.

Digital painting, fan art of the TV-show "Murderbot". The image is a close-up portrait of Murderbot, it's damaged, it's helmet is broken on one side and a part of a human face can be seen. There is a reflection of doctor Mensah in the black glass of the helmet.

Imagine being a fandom where the author just GETS what their readers want and then pushes it at them like a five course meal. That's pretty much what @marthawells.com just did tonight when she released this short story. It was everything I could have wanted. 😍
