it took almost 50 YEARS of travel time to reach that distance and will be the first human-made object to reach this distance.

Banana Fish doesn't deserve this.
The only thing less human than these AI dub performances is the decision to sign off on them
A company this big can pay human actors a decent wage, not produce slop that intentionally removes the human element.

Obviously my algorithm is tilting things a certain way, but I see almost universal disdain from humans on every platform. Over on Twitter, ppl are still lining up to dunk on the Suno grifter lady like she’s standing under a child’s hoop.
Is this platform still massively against AI or has it moved more towards acceptance?

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

✨ I just published a new post, and it’s all about one of the most mind-blowing new CSS features: subgrid.
Honestly, when I first heard about subgrid, I figured it’d be a convenient little utility. I had no idea it would solve one of the most longstanding issues I’ve had with CSS. 😮

Web Monetization is Still Inching Along, But Still Too Difficult
Just a simple link tag in HTML can point to an online wallet to take payments, and a JavaScript API to react to them. But it's (still) early days.
