We keep seeing startups who want to replace something valuable (therapy, counseling, tutoring, artistic expression) with some tech bullshit under the banner of democratization. But why do we need to invest so much in bad tech that doesn't work instead of just giving people access to what they need?

OK, not even getting into the ethics or the existential issues around AI: Have some goddamn self-respect. If you're a writer and you do this I don't know how you look at yourself, but I know exactly how I look at you.
Scoop: Business Insider informed its staff this week that they are allowed to use ChatGPT to generate first drafts of their stories, while also indicating the newsroom will not disclose such A.I. use to readers.

Business Insider and the Bots
The Axel Springer-owned newsroom is buzzing over new ChatGPT writing guidelines—part of an aggressive A.I. strategy pushed by its German parentco and detailed in a memo obtained by Status.

Pretty common thing I get told when I point out an accessibility fail: "They mean well, so give them a break."
Unfortunately, that's not how this works. Accessibility is about what is and isn't, not what's intended. Giving people breaks for half-assing accessibility just normalizes inaccessibility.

i was going to make a joke about the real cause of autism but i can't get past being sad that there is a mainstream political philosophy that thinks having people like me around is so much of a problem they're willing to start sacrificing children to ward against us

What I see happening before my eyes is newsrooms being stripped so bare the few who remain have no choice but to try to do a team’s worth of work alone by using AI tools for speed, making accuracy (and ethics) the collateral…for a job that’s about informing the masses and speaking truth to power.
