I have a lot of thoughts about the "I can generate 200 books a year you can only do 2 at most if you actually write the things, I win" bullshit, and no time to yell about all of it. So I'll just say this:

I have yet to see any evidence that there is a market for AI-generated books outside of people being tricked into thinking they are not AI-generated books. AKA, it is a project of scamming and deceiving people, and really should be treated as fraud

"You Humans have so much art! Do you have machines to make all paintings, poems, stories and songs?"
"We experimented with that, briefly," the guide said. "But humans are both cheaper and more creative. And, well, we will make art regardless."

Although the article unequivocally shows the Illini Republicans are bigoted edgelords, it also demonstrates they are weak cowards, unwilling to support their words and scuttling like cockroaches when light is shone on them.
University of Illinois college republicans advocate for executing protesters as “traitors” with art that takes a disturbing killing and makes it even more extreme.

Reminder for artists: don't get blinded by the "big number" for an art project. Remember to do the math.
$3,000 for a tarot card desk *sounds* great. But in reality you're only being paid $38.46 per artwork. And if each artwork takes 20 hours to make, you're getting paid $1.92/hr

My wife told me she heard at a training she attended that ICE has argued "ALL ARE WELCOME HERE" signs are invitations to enter private spaces and if that don't beat all I don't know what does.

detention centers dont magically appear overnight. 90% of ICE detainees are held in for-profit prisons owned by corporations like geo group and corecivic. these companies owe their wealth to bipartisan subsidies going back to the 1994 crime bill under clinton
