And Remember: spreading fascist bullshit around to dunk on it is still spreading fascist bullshit around.

A comic book panel in which Batman is breaking a shotgun in half. The shotgun is labeled "quote dunks," and Batman is saying "THIS is the weapon of the ENEMY. We do not NEED it. We will not USE it."

Digital art of Hua Cheng and Xie Lian cradling each other, looking into each other's eyes. They are surrounded by golden clouds and simple line drawing flowers over a dark blue background.

Sleep is a biological necessity, and sleep deprivation has real physical, psychological, and social consequences that need to be taken seriously. The way our society treats it as slothful to sleep according to natural rhythms (including midday naps and variant chronotypes like night owls) is evil.

My silence doesn't mean I agree with you, it means your level of stupidity has rendered me speechless. Says Skeletor looking like he’s a bit tired of saying this one.

a picture of hualian, depicting them in two portraits: xl's is adorned with simple white flowers and butterflies and hc's with lotuses and spider lilies. they are bound by the red string. xl is wearing frilly-flowy white silk robes and a corset, and hua cheng - a snatched suit, though his sleeves are puffy too (and red, ofc). they both have pearled jewellery and the infamous red bead is incorporated into hc's earring and xl's brooch at the neck. it looks as though they are gazing at each other. the lace at xl's collar and at the edges of the sleeves has a butterfly motif, while hc's shirt and trousers are rose-patterned.

The only safe place to use LLMs is in a field where you are already skilled enough to know you would never trust AI. So you might as well not.

We’ve got to start insisting on this Catch 22 being understood in all workplaces: AI only replaces workers too incompetent to notice it doesn’t work.

Comic by https://cassandracalin.tumblr.com

Comic features a person who receives a text asking to hag out but was a typo to hang out. Person replies no let’s actually hag out and the final panel shows two people dressed like witches (hags)mixing things into a cauldron.

You know, when generative art stuff was the new talk of the town about three years ago I was like “okay, I will see what this is all about and how to fit it into a single artist pipeline”, and did a couple experiments with how it could be used to optimize tedious parts of the process-

There are basically only two positions in the debate about AI.
1. I’ve barely invested any time in learning how to use it effectively. AI sucks.
2. I’ve invested in learning how to use this tool. Holy cow, it’s transformational.

Position #1 has lower barriers to entry.
