ai is producing as much carbon as ALL of new york city and is consuming as much water as (rereads article) "all of the bottled water on earth". come on now... this is NOT, on any level, sustainable. www.sfexaminer.com/news/technol...

Writers, please don’t use genAI to create illustrations either. Support human artists. If you like visual prompts, collecting oracle and tarot decks is a fantastic way to combine this support for art into your writing practice.

Just a complete disaster. TikTok is now state-run media on behalf of Trump.

UPDATE: Another Chicago-area church has put up an immigration-themed Nativity scene. A church member at Urban Village Church sent this one along, where Mary, Joseph and Jesus are gone and replaced with a sign that reads: “Due to ICE activity in our community, the Holy Family is in hiding.”

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

It’s sad that journalists don’t call him stupid right back.

“The night we turned back the clocks, a dark disc descended. The sky lit like a million suns. A theft, or a mercy?” The Great Girl Evaporation of 2022 by @vicnogaywrites.bsky.social in Naming a Dying Thing, from @yellowarrowpub.bsky.social

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Re: the title, I cannot stress enough that no it can’t. What it can do, and is already doing, is change the way people understand creativity so that they believe they have conquered challenges rather than the reverse.

My gut feeling is that "people overworked and tired" accounts for 90% of what appears to be apathy.

One reason I don’t use #AI tools personally or professionally: These data centers are hiking up regular people’s home electricity bills. We’re paying for it. It’s not worth pricing ourselves out of our own resources to ostensibly save a few minutes on an edit... youtu.be/YN6BEUA4jNU?... #amediting
