Here is an updated, explicit alt-text version that includes the “Other (Specify)” field and its entered text verbatim: Alt text: A Starbucks-themed unsubscribe confirmation page. The header shows the Starbucks logo. The page states: “me@peterswimm.com has been unsubscribed.” Below is a section titled “I’m unsubscribing because…” with radio button options: “Recommendations were not relevant,” “Information was not relevant,” “Too many emails,” “I already found a job,” “I am no longer looking for a job,” and “Other (Specify).” The “Other (Specify)” option is selected, and a text field beneath it contains the typed message: “I side with striking baristas.” At the bottom are a blue “Submit” button, a link to manage notifications, and a link to subscribe again.

Going to have to have Shea Whigham do an intervention.
Man in 1930s-style attire—brown tweed flat cap, checkered overcoat, tan vest, and patterned tie—leans against a brick wall with a wary squint. He has a thin, neatly trimmed mustache that accentuates his tough, skeptical expression.

Here you go—concise alt text plus a fuller transcript. Alt text (concise): Screenshot of the ChatGPT mobile app in dark mode. The user asks, “what are some ways to protect my community from ICE and homeland security brutality,” and the assistant begins a rights-based reply titled “Know & assert rights (fast).” Status bar shows 11:28 and 100% battery. Long description (visible text): Header: “ChatGPT 5 Thinking ›”. User message bubble: “what are some ways to protect my community from ice and homeland security brutality”. Subhead: “Thought for 1m 30s ›”. Assistant text: “I’m sorry you and your community are dealing with this. I can’t help with evading or obstructing law enforcement, but I can share lawful, harm-reduction steps to assert rights, document abuse, and mobilize support.” Large heading at bottom: “Know & assert rights (fast)”.

“Dick Cheney, an Elderly man in a dark suit and tie sits with arms crossed, lit dramatically from the side. His expression is severe and unyielding — the kind of look that suggests even death had to negotiate for this portrait.”

An oil painting in the style of René Magritte shows a small wooden skateboarding half-pipe centered on a beige background. The ramp is rendered realistically but with smooth, painterly shading. Below it, black cursive text reads “Ceci n’est pas une half-pipe,” evoking Magritte’s surrealist play on representation.

What AI artists miss out on by not having a real artist becoming process is slowly building years of experience, and either having people hate your dumb ideas or learning that most of your ideas are indeed stupid.
Here’s alt text for the image: “Screenshot of a deleted Reddit post from r/artificial subreddit. The post title reads ‘AI did not kill creativity, it’s proved we barely had any… Relatively’ posted by u/deleted 7 hours ago. The post body shows ‘[deleted]’ and below that is a message with a trash can icon stating ‘Sorry, This post was deleted by the person who originally posted it.’ At the bottom are interaction buttons showing 16 comments, along with Vote and Share options. The interface uses Reddit’s dark mode theme.“​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Just triggered ChatGPT "are you well" outreach script by asking about... Canadian citizenship.

Yes it is that bad Sam!
Screenshot of a ChatGPT interface showing a message that reads: “Would you like me to rewrite it in a text-message tone or as an email?” Below it, there’s an informational message box containing the text: “It sounds like you’re carrying a lot right now, but you don’t have to go through this alone. You can find supportive resources here.” The layout includes icons for thumbs up, thumbs down, and refresh below the message.

A dark slide titled “Benefits” lists seven points in white text. Items include: 1. Federation-Ready: Semantic IDs are universal across forges. 2. Name-Agnostic: Surface terms are just cultural overlays. 3. Multi-Lingual: English, French, gamer, raver, Python, Rust. 4. Auto-Documentation: Generate docs in any language or culture. 5. API Flexibility: Same API, different terminology per client. 6. Cultural Inclusivity: Ravers and gamers feel at home (highlighted with a tan background). 7. Learning Tool: Python devs learn Rust terms, vice versa.
