Donald Trump has instructed the entire FBI to prioritize finding ways to bring charges against anti-fascists and other activists. Any FBI agent who wants to advance his career now has an incentive to set up naïve kids for an entrapment case.

Please read about entrapment and how to protect yourself.

Rob Reiner: I'm going to make a coming of age drama, a fantasy adventure story, a romantic comedy, a psychological horror and then a courtroom drama.

Us: Across your entire career?

Reiner: In a 6 year period.

Us: That sounds-

Reiner: -Each one will be arguably the best movie in that genre.

ID LAWS FALL! You all are doing amazing! This is why you call your reps and make your voice heard, why you support groups fighting for free speech.

Keep this up and we can tear the rest down!

Netchoice won their legal battle against Age verification in louisiana! This follows similar rulings in AK and OH!

This is huge!

These laws can be stopped, they can be overturned. Do not give in to dooming! Keep calling your reps and support orgs that fight these laws in court!

Was talking about chatGPT at a party and here’s the thing: it doesn’t come up with new ideas. It recycles old ones.

If you’re presenting it with information to try and come up with a solution to a problem that nobody’s had, it cannot do that. It’s unable to.
This column on Vox is the biggest pile of steaming AI crap I've seen this year. Human's aren't running out of ideas. Instead, those with power and money don't want to listen to ideas that threaten their power and money.

Ideas are plentiful. Putting those ideas into action is the hard part.
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?

Since Polygon is leaving it out of the headline: Epic Games partnered with The Game Awards to put money into the pocket of a bigot who uses her wealth to further the genocide of trans people through lawsuits and legislation. Every 'free' game gives money directly to JKR, and they are complicit.

A striking metric to help understand how rich billionaires are is that most of us would consider, say, a million dollars as a very useful sum of money, life-changing in many cases.

A million minutes ago from now is last January.

A billion minutes ago is August 124 CE. Hadrian is Emperor of Rome.
If you make a billion dollars — or $500 million or even $100 million dollars — and you keep trying to make more, then there is something seriously wrong with you. It's a mental illness akin to hoarding or drug addiction.

…Thereby making the students utterly incurious and cut off from the community around graphic novels, the history of comics, and the development of their own artistic tastes as readers, let alone as potential artists in dialogue with any of the former.

AI tools can help students "create their own" graphic novels like how I "win" pickup games by showing the other team unlicensed clips of NBA players sinking threes on my phone and then adding those points to the scoreboard myself.

And they know that. But now the budgets are being subsidized by the AI companies, and executives and share holders who own portions of both the production companies, the networks, and the AI "tool" providers.

They aren't allowed to not use the AI. It's bagholders to the basement now.
The marketing/executive people who are now just "yeah, whatever.. that looks great!" to any of the insane AI outputs today are the very people who made the old process so fucking slow in the first place! 😓
