It's not. AI can not create, only regurgitate
You want creatives to come up with new ideas? Give them the capital and resources to do so. Implement UBI so they don't have to be stuck working jobs that don't foster their creativity, encourage arts funding, encourage good urban design and public art

America, you have spoken loud and clear: You do not like AI. But what if AI is the way to restart the world’s idea machine?
We’re running out of good ideas. AI might be how we find new ones.
What if the best use of AI is restarting the world’s idea machine?

As far as I can tell, outside of my ref sheet and badges, this is the first pic I commissioned. An Armenian inspired pic from @wizlicos.licographics.com
Most recent one is another wintery pic from @sajophoe.bsky.social

The only way I would even want to see this is if they make Gaston campy, oblivious, and dense as, while chronicling his many failed adventures through the French countryside like a Don Quixote type
I do not want Gaston backstory, I do not need Gaston backstory, I reject Gaston backstory
he is a fully formed oaf, consuming eggs by the dozen in one of the greatest villain songs ever written, and that is all we need of him

A cool result of everything having AI in it now is there are a bunch of buttons on every application that I have to be careful to never push, and everything takes five more seconds to load during which there's an animation of bonzi buddy thinking really hard

I didn't need to be called out this morning, but i'm glad there's a term to describe how I feel most of the time
Word of the day, should you be feeling a little huffish, is ‘apanthropy’ (18th century): a love of solitude and the desire to be away from other people.

With the weather the way it is, tonight seems like a good night to make a spicy tomato, egg and noodle soup (番茄煎蛋面)
Thanks to @mthmchris.bsky.social for the recipe. It's delicious!

I love asking my team chat if they're having issues accessing a certain program, only for a coworker to respond that they had issues with a different program and haven't tried accessing the program I am

Working for a bank as my day job, I often get "can you give me a loan?" or "can you just transfer a million dollars into my account?"
If I could do that, why would I be working for a bank still? I'd give myself a few million dollars and leave
