Cthulhu the Old One
Is a cosmic entity
While he hibernates
Cthulhu dreams and waits
Causing our anxiety

If you’re not willing to engage in a Butlerian Jihad against the Plagiarism Machine, you’ve never actually made anything that mattered
periodically I'll see a backlash that goes a little too far or seems kinda unfair. i never say anything because i think we need to be kinda unhinged and zealous in our response to this shit. I'd take an honest-to-God crusade against this stuff over letting it proliferate.
We can do even more.

Should you refuse to show compassion because you believe it would make you appear weak, then you have misunderstood what strength is. It is honorable to have concern for others, to show empathy and to offer aid to someone in distress. To rebuke this is cowardice, not strength.

Link to support workers in thread
1/ At bargaining yesterday, @propublica.org management said that they should have 100% discretion to replace workers with AI and would not commit to labeling future AI-generated content.

We, the workers of ProPublica, provide our readers with deeply researched, unbiased news that holds power to account. This work is more important now than ever, but our staff can’t properly contribute...

I guess what I am saying is in 2026 you should DO STUFF and MAKE STUFF and BE CRINGE and HAVE FUN and FIGHT with all you have got because an awful lot of people do not want you to do any of that. Their profits require that you don’t.

Anyway. Time for a cup of tea.

I was listening to Joe Hill on the @ukpageone.bsky.social podcast today, and the way he described simply reading as an act of rebellion really struck me. I was thinking how vital it is we fight for our art going forward (creation = rebellion) and that doing something NEW for yourself is the same.
Playing catchup as I thought I had an extra day before my last Japanese lesson of the year, but わたしはまいにちにほんごをはなします。

(I mean that is true, not just what the textbook exercise tells me to write out, but - hot damn is this good for me. Start learn a new language in 2026, your brain will love it!)
I should do my Japanese homework, I say!

One hour later I have done one page and my brain hurts, but goddamit, わたしのともだちはにほんにいきます!

I'm fully convinced AI/tech companies believe that all AI backlash is temporary and will fade away if they'll double down on pushing it through

Something to keep your eye on. Popular discourse is starting to turn against AI, so new frameworks are being built to continue selling it. We are about to see a flood of media that qualifies AI: “Gen AI” is bad and overhyped but “predictive” or “analytic AI” is responsible and good. +

Just like Google plan with Chrome, Mozilla aren't sitting still on expanding Firefox into something resembling a web browser but with more AI.
