Users of Gen AI climb on the backs of actual creators and stick flags between their shoulder blades, treating them like territory. Us and our work are just ladders to them. The only work they really want to do is to climb over us and claim our talent and abilities as their own.

I mean, you can see why people would like that experience, sure. But yikes that is a terrible system to put in place or even remotely condone.
1) Risks of misinfo are huge
2) Systemic risk of motivating less & less resources to real care.

Republicans could stop your healthcare costs from doubling TODAY. There’s absolutely nothing stopping them.
They rushed through their Big Ugly Bill to give billionaires a massive tax cut, but now that working people are about to suffer, they’re dragging their feet.

Let me just say: I have run more than a dozen marathons and an ultramarathon and I have worked 13-hour days in a cornfield in the scorching-ass sun, and none of those things broke me like breastfeeding.
It’s not a question of will. I am a determined person. Sometimes your body just WONT DO IT.

If I'd had to rely on breastfeeding, my daughter would have died.
This kind of bottle-shaming is a not-so-subtle way to push women out of the workforce.

not sure how to square ‘no one person can be reasonably expected to pay for every media subscription’ with ‘sorely underpaid writers need to make a living’ but my inclination is not to locate that problem with any of the broke ass people on either end of the complaint

Not to be salty on a Saturday, but just listened to a podcast with a very famous SFF author exploring books he's loved & been inspired by. He said a couple of times how very widely he reads...
...Folks, among the dozens he mentioned? ZERO women authors.

When my debut was announced, I had multiple high school classmates pop out of the woodwork asking if it would be a good gift for their 12/13 yo.
Has there been a Lancet study on whether everything written by or for women will eventually be called YA?

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

I don't know how to tell you it just sucks to struggle your whole life to communicate, find it in a style of art you have developed, and then knowing out there that there's someone scraping everything you did to steal your voice and put it on something you had no choice in speaking for.

The one year anniversary of Yoon's failed martial law takeover just passed and lots of untold stories came out proving that THE ONLY REASON KOREA IS STILL A FREE COUNTRY IS BECAUSE PEOPLE DISOBEYED ILLEGAL ORDERS.
The coup was over in hours because people said no.

Being a class member against Anthropic is nice and all I guess but I don’t want settlement money, I want the book I carved out of my trauma as a warning against unregulated tech to be taken out of the machine that pollutes small towns to encourage people to kill themselves

And he’s definitely not the only one speaking about the *necessity* of data centers in space. Apparently the planet is not big enough for their scaling “laws”.

Why are there no bot farms pumping out the left wing agenda repeating the same message over thousands of fake accounts?
Because the left ideology is already popular and it doesn’t need AI and algorithms to get there.
