Such a good article in Maisonneuve on how Canada Post is being dismantled, management is rolling out tech to try to emulate Amazon, and what Canadians collectively lose if they’re successful in gutting this public institution.

If there's anything AI has done for me this year, it's awakened a hunger for person-to-person connection. Hanging out with a baby, going to see live theatre, eating food someone made, appreciating art from 200 years ago, from 800 years ago, from 10,000 years ago... Human creation is so wonderful.

This is a really good essay on why you shouldn't trust AI to tell you a damn thing.
"Inasmuch as you are going to have to double-check every “fact” that “AI”” provides to you, why not eliminate the middleman and just not use “AI”? It’s not decreasing your workload here, it’s adding to it."

I understand that a lot of folks have been misled by fear-mongering and powerful regressive voices but it’s still astonishing to me that so many have fallen for the idea that oppressively policing other people’s gender identity and expression could in any way be part of an enlightened future.

Disney would be nothing without human artists and with AI or not they will continue to be nothing without human artists. For that reason I don’t think this will last. I will no longer accepting assignments or work based on Disney IP.

One reason Disney is OK with allowing OpenAI to torpedo their brands after decades of cracking down on childrens hospitals for painting comforting characters on the walls or a dad who wanted his son's favorite character Spider-Man etched onto his grave is that grieving families don't have $1 billion

We really need to double down on outwardly stating our work does not contain AI.
We're seeing it in movie credits and books, we have to start putting it on things we make and pressuring others to label their work as human made, and normalize that as much as we can, I think.
