Had to give this bundle of joy back to her owner this morning.

No idea how I’ll keep my head warm tonight without her sleeping on me like a hat.

Adobe’s AI didn’t start out like this. It was shockingly tame compared to other companies when I was doing their Firefly beta. Everything was candy-colored and absolutely zero sexual or graphic imagery.

As someone that has a dark or gothic design style, it was unusable.
This was just sent to me by an LAUSD parent. A 4th grader was assigned to design a book cover for Pippi Longstocking using Adobe for Education. Here is what the AI tool generated:

Touching base is cool, circling back ain't too bad, and putting a pin in it does the trick, but you know what really gets me going? Running it up the flagpole

Not his bloody building!
SCOOP: Sources tell me Donald Trump's name was added to the exterior of the US Institute of Peace building ahead of Thursday's peace agreement signing between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), which will be held inside the building. Confirming if it's been officially renamed.
