It took this headline to make me realize: People who "don't understand why people don't like AI" are one of the biggest reasons people don't like AI.

What a great headline

I got this bread machine about a month or so ago. It still works, and I was able to find a digitized manual for it on the Internet Archive. This was my second loaf of bread I made with it, and I'm happy I figured out the right amount of ingredients for this particular bread maker.
A Panasonic "Bread Bakery" bread machine with the yeast dispenser hatch open, showing that the yeast has not been dispensed yet. The machine itself is set to bake whole wheat bread in 5 hours. A loaf of whole wheat bread, sitting on a wire cooling rack after being shaken out of the bread pan. The dome of the bread shows that some of the bread rose above the pan line, but not too much that it would make a mess inside the bread machine.

The most simple fact is: It makes sense because your consumers care about it. Set aside any facts about AI and just treat it as a black box component. If buyers say it factors into their purchasing decisions, then it matters to you because the point of your service is to sell what they want to buy.

Sadly, all the Learn Blender people were right. You couldn't pay me to go back to Maya or 3Ds Max. And I couldn't pay me either, because their license costs are insane

Support Blender today!!!

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX
Don't Buy Starbucks! At any location, today and beyond, while workers are on ULP strike!

this sort of learned helplessness is going to be extremely dangerous as it permeates adulthood - why bother to learn to drive if the car does it for you, why bother to learn medication interactions, why bother why bother why bother

I spotted this on Mastodon and I find it horrible, not least for the speed with which this has happened.
A post on Mastodon by small cypress (@small_cypress@indieweb.social): As an art teacher I was worried AI would come up as an issue of "why should I learn how to draw when I can use AI instead." But the real issue is that my middle schoolers CONSTANTLY believe all art I show them is AI. Digital art. Photography. Oil paintings from the Western canon. "A human couldn't do that" Being convinced that humans can't make great art is kind of terrifying

Exhausted momma and tiny tornadoes. Photo from my collection, no date/info.
Four kittens on a worn wooden porch. A black one is walking toward something seeming determined, a ginger tabby and white is attacking a piece of string, a ginger tabby who appears to be the mom snoozes, and it looks like maybe a tortie is sitting toward the back, possibly nursing behind the other kittens.

"...focus too much on near-term goals to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases that cause warming, diverting resources from what can be done to improve life in a warming world... goal should be to prevent suffering." don't poor countries know how profitable AI momentarily is?
Classic newspaper editorial comic of guy in torn suit by campfire in front of ruined cityscape on horizon, telling dirty kids yes the planet got destroyed but for a beautiful moment in time we created a lot of mediocre, unoriginal, wrong text.

It's important to remember three things: one, Tylenol doesn't cause autism; two, autism is not a bad thing, certainly not bad enough to sue anyone over; and three, the only reason they're doing this is so they can avoid doing things that might actually *help* people.
