A reminder: Spotify wrapped is, first and foremost, advertising for Spotify. If you want to *talk* (post) about what you've been listening to? I am ALL for that. But you don't need Spotify's advertising to do that.
If you post a Spotify Wrapped, I am unfollowing you.

The term AI is actually used by videogames already, you're going to have to call it something else

Every artist I’ve ever known has this itch to create that won’t go away until they create. They have to do it.
It’s why I know the “finally, someone like me can make art” AI users are full of shit. What they really mean is “finally, a way to get social media likes without hard work”.

A friend of mine was on Charlie Kirk's "watch list" of Black professors. She received so many death and rape threats that her university offered her a security detail for the walk to class.
This is Kirk's legacy.
You would never know it from reading all of these legacy newspaper op-eds about him.

Reminder: if you are worried about AI replacing you as an artist: don’t use AI voices,
If you don’t want composing to be handed over to AI: don’t use it to write text.
You get the idea.
If you value your job: protect others jobs too.

If you cannot proofread EVERY line of code that an LLM throws at you and you keep using it, that's on you.
3) I need to write some code and I can't be bothered to remember the syntax of this particular programming language/boiler plate code is boring, etc.
You can test whether the code works as you intend, but are you really in a position to catch security vulnerabilities?
