Libraries aren't just books. They provide gathering places, free internet, and programs like story hours and classes and films. Using your library demonstrates to your local government its importance to your community and can affect funding decisions.

Sometimes when I’m feeling down on myself I’ll think, “I’m a stupid idiot,” but then I’ll read something like this and realize that even if I AM a stupid idiot, I’m not this deeply stupid.

Had to pull an old pair of Docs out of the cupboard because my Blundstones died.
Is this some sort of regression?

Anybody who is like “Piracy is activism!”—trust me, supporting your local library is about 1000% more effective activism, and it’s still free for you and authors still get paid!

914,000 arts and culture workers in Canada nodding in agreement.
I will believe in the end of identity politics when steel and lumber (28,000 jobs and 105,000 jobs respectively) stop getting bailouts, while higher education (310,000 jobs) collapses in front of our eyes because it's full of ivory tower elites

Bluesky not addictive to teens but definitely a crutch for elder millennials who know too much about the Bajoran war.
Meta, YouTube, TikTok and Snapchat know how addictive their platforms can be to teens.
Those are allegations a group of school districts is making against the social media giants, according to a newly unsealed legal filing that quotes the companies’ own internal documents. https://cnn.it/3Xjq5x5

i think tech and ai positive people are going to be in for a big shock when anti tech and anti ai sentiment becomes a major part of leftwing politics going forward especially as datacenters continue to destroy communities and raise electricity bills
Is this platform still massively against AI or has it moved more towards acceptance?

I’ve used ChatGPT twice: once to generate subtitles for a podcast video that I then spent hours proofreading because they had non-stop errors, and then I asked it to take a list of 400 book titles and tell me their genres. It could not. So no, I don’t believe it can think or run a government 😡
one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

Sam Sorensen wrote a beautiful, albeit complex, roleplaying wargame called Cataphract, and I took the rules and mashed them into a sheer monstrosity. Set loosely in Britain in the Dark Ages, you play as competing warlord households in real time.
I'm looking for people bad enough to play.

THIS. So much this! AI isn't opening doors for creativity, it's setting up a pay to play system. And part of it is building a narrative that real, living artists are "gatekeeping" art to vilify us. The only people that want to gatekeep art are the AI companies that want your cash.
It’s a bit funny to me when folks accuse anti-AI artists of “gatekeeping.” My dude, Midjourney charges you $60 a month for images, while real artists remind you that you can make it for free and experience the joy of the process. So who’s really gatekeeping?
