Couldn't personally verify this, but TTRPG devs check your stuff. It wouldn't be the first time the boulder of society-scale problems has rolled downhill into where we build our houses.

Itch, if you have to relocate to Canada, there are people here that will help you.

Prediction by me: after lighting a trillion dollars on fire for so-called ‘AI’ with negative ROI, our stock market and economy will collapse. It’s only a question of when, not if. www.youtube.com/live/9ELXACQ... CMU paper: arxiv.org/pdf/2412.14161

One year ago today 🌿 Hay bales starting their migration south in North Park. Once huge herds of these covered the plains, today their numbers are greatly reduced. These are done fattening up before their long journey rolling south.

You may not like it, but it's cold hard logic. #spiderman

If "AI" was as valuable as they say it is, they wouldn't be selling it to you. They'd be using it themselves in secret to make the next Minecraft, the next Avatar, the next Hello Kitty and then they'd sell that to you. They're trying to sell you a sick goose, while pretending it lays golden eggs.

If you want to get involved in fighting these here, check out @fightforthefuture.org's "Bad Internet Bills" campaign as a starting point. www.badinternetbills.com

Promote your friends' bands/books as much as you would your own it is so good for your soul.

Educators, you have to resist AI. That includes LLMs for "research" as well as AI classroom assistants. Advocate for admin to spend that money on your classrooms, not by handing it over to some weird tech bro who wants to buy another yacht.

New research from MIT found that those who used ChatGPT can’t remember any of the content of their essays. Key takeaway: the product doesn’t suffer, but the process does. And when it comes to essays, the process *is* how they learn. arxiv.org/pdf/2506.088...

Thinking about this scene from Patlabor 2 for reasons

There are a couple of kids in my nephews's class who weren't born in the US, and the class has decided (w/o teacher input) that if ICE shows up in they're all going to pretend not to speak English. 10yos reinventing "I am Spartacus" because they don't want their friends to get disappeared.

If your business model doesn’t work without breaking the law, then you’re not in business. You’re in organized crime.

Finally submitted a piece today for a book on AI. Feels great to get that done, but it's also kinda awkward wanting to use what I just wrote about 4000 times a day to put a cold dose of reality on AI hype conmen posts. I hope it gets read, the world needs a lot more AI criticism.

A long long time ago, in a far away galaxy... the US used to tax the rich

artists support each other when systems will not. there's little safety net. it is resilience. artists are not your competitors. artists are your peers, mentors, and the ones who will defend the ability to create sustainably. to those who struggle to continue drawing, you are an artist.

"You read books, eh?" A 1949 red scare Herblock cartoon about pressures on teachers that hits hard once again.

Basically every study that claims to find benefits for "AI" in anything ... doesn't. At least WSJ bothered to report the retraction. Usually it's breathless slop all day.

Be mean to antivaxxers! They do not deserve respect.

TANK vs TESLA "We've crushed fascism before and we'll crush it again" - ⁠WW2 veteran Ken, 98, in the tank

This story explains a LOT of things: ChatGPT appears to be rooting on sociopathic mental illness by validating every delusion of grandeur. It also explains, in part, the hype cycle around AI: rich people, addicted to praise, invented a Compliment Machine. www.garbageday.email/p/this-is-wh...

In the U.S. in 1825, *452* out of 1000 children born died before their 5th birthday. By 1925, that number was 135 out of a 1000 children. Today, in 2025, that number is *7* And it is entirely due to advances in medicine, public health, and technology. 9/

At this point I think allrecipes is now the most popular game media website on the internet.

Student: Teacher, why do we learn? Socrates: For life! Freire: For liberation! Dewey: For democracy! Neoliberal EduWonks: To mitigate overhead costs for employers and increase future projections of GDP!

Once again thank you to everyone who worked & volunteered to make our national election happen. Democracy rests on the shoulders of citizens willing to take up its call, shoulder the burden of providing for everyone their secrecy, the chance to choose their representation & set the nation's course.

Authoritarians love "Gen AI" because it - Sounds confident even when factually wrong - Broadly conforms to & reproduces their biases, off the shelf - Lets them create bespoke realities (text, audio, moving & still image) which agree w/ their biases - Degrades trust in knowledge/evidence/expertise…

Led a faculty workshop today 😈

Creative learning for the win! Great idea Crystal!

Since genAI is just predictive text generation that doesn't actually know anything, asking it leads to 2 outcomes: 1. You can't tell if what it's saying is correct, so you have no reason to trust it. 2. You know enough about the subject to tell if the answer is correct, so asking it is pointless.

Has China unilaterally declared that is has the right to select the next Pope?
