A year ago today my baby Rowan died (3 yrs old). The hardest. I miss you all the time. You were bright and so curious. Loved cars so much I worried you might grow up to be a boy racer. I love you so much ♥️ ♥️

Love to see the Sedgwick County Zoo putting out a good explainer on why GenAI slop videos of animals are a problem & how to identify them! It’s succinct, easy to read, and doesn’t shame people for not knowing better. A+ useful link to share with family and friends.

Of course! Why is it that the solution to everything is AI?! Maybe the plan could be to look after and support writers so that AI isn’t the answer? 🤷
I'm a writer who has beaten "writer's block" many times and will beat it again. Sometimes it's an issue of writing yourself into a corner or writing something you don't like. But very often it's caused by the stress of living in post-capitalist hell and struggling to meet the needs to survive.
What beats writers block is not treating your body like a factory. What beats writers block is healthcare. What beats writers block is gardening, & rest, & food, & companionship, & reading, & leisure, & anti-capitalism—but of course that’s not a very profitable thing to write, & won’t sell LLMs.
