"If we have to hunt you down, the way they hunted down Nazis for decades, we will find your identities. We will find you. We will achieve justice. And we will do so under the Constitution and laws of the United States." www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Ft1...

Finally, if you make it this far in this frustrated rant, I have published two novels and have an anthology coming out if you're interested in buying or pre-ordering any of those: bookshop.org/a/20948/9781... bookshop.org/a/20948/9781... bookshop.org/a/20948/9781...

Zoning people approved rezoning of 830 acres of ag land to kight/industrial for massive google data center. I am incredibly depressed. At least poison my air and water with anything besides AI, man

Trying not to worry about whether a first reader or editor would reject me on the spot for a 17 word compound adjective that is linguistically very confusing... It's not until page 4, so maybe I'll have built up enough goodwill by then lol.

The Democrats cannot even bring themselves to talk about reducing the ICE budget (which was TRIPLED out of the blue and no one knows how exactly such sums could ever be spent even on the vast network of concentration camps and private contractors) to, say, its already-record 2024 levels.

Nuremberg trials for ICE is the moderate position

ICE just gunned down ANOTHER person, beating a man half to death before shooting him at point blank range. What the fuck are we doing? ARREST ICE NOW. PROSECUTE ICE NOW. I will not rest until every single one of these murderers is held accountable to the communities they terrorize.

How will the soulless politicians spin another civilian murder in Minnesota? He was armed? He was a terrorist? He maimed a government neonazi cog? Whatever it is, it’ll be another idiotic lie as if the non-MAGA folks will believe it. Fuck ICE forever.

Super happy that literally all of my fellow residents who spoke at the community meeting were against the data center. Small bummer was that a a few people quoted Google's AI overview (about pollution) at Google execs. The Google folk must have been biting their cheeks to keep from laughing.

In a doctor's waiting room for a procedure and there are three motherfuckers in here just open mouth coughing. Glad I'm masked

Saw a lot of headlines saying "wikipedia is embracing ai" being tossed around tabloids, and I'm pretty sure they were maliciously written to make you feel a certain way about Wikipedia. What's actually happening is that wikipedia is demanding payment for data scraping and the corpos don't like that.

Season one of The Simpsons is amazing, I don't care what anybody says

Good-ass idea. In January 2020, the CDC said not a question of if, but when, COVID spreads in the US, and that citizens should prepare a weeks worth of food in case of quarantine. I thought the grocery store would be swamped. It was dead. Nobody gave a shit until basketball got shut down in March.

this completely horrifying. ICE is a domestic occupying threat against us all

There are no good wood processors (except focuswriter for drafting)

Happy January Basho Day to all who celebrate

Would be curious to see a study in which a group of people (with a few minutes of training) try to spot AI writing/images, and their results are compared to AI detection tools. I'd be shocked if people weren't better at it.

AI detection tools that use AI to detect whether stuff is AI are, imo, a scam to get people who don't like AI to use AI. Sorry about that sentence lol. I am curious what other AI haters think about this though, especially teachers who find it useful.

Me 4 weeks ago: I'm gonna let myself jump around a few different projects at once for a change. Me now: Choice paralysis thinking about several stories and a couple nonfiction things at once while also reading through a bad first draft of a novel and having ideas of how I could rewrite it and

Solidarity with the people of Venezuela. Solidarity with the people of yet another country that my country has made unilateral unjust war on. What a long list, what a grotesquely revoltingly long list. Impeaching Trump is the bare minimum here man. Bare minimum of legal action required

absolution by jeff vandermeer is the linguistic equivalent of an obliterating blast of gamma radiation that permanently alters your DNA and the trajectory of your life 10/10

Agree so much. Seriously pursuing writing at all is downstream from reading a lot. The more I read the more I want to write, then I write and want to read more. An extremely not-vicious cycle that in no way leads to AI use. Can't imagine sticking a shitty computer middle man in there. AI corrupts.

Primary everyone. Yes, even your favorites if they're on the wrong side of this

Writing a piece about the disinformation in America as it relates to my local community fighting the data center they want to install here, and it's made me think of a Tim Rogers quote (Action Button Reviews on Youtube): "To speak to today, to speak to right now, confounds us and makes us sick."

I wrote roughly 400 pages of fiction this year and read the most I ever have in my life and I still can't fucking spell disappeared correctly the first time I type it.

When I write I am always fretting about my very frequent use of parentheticals and "[statement], but..." sentence structure. Just a result of the way I think/write or a bad habit I need to break? It's particularly egregious when I attempt non-fiction.

Any Democrat who thinks it's appropriate to "find common ground" with the Republicans on issues like high school sports teams is negotiating with a political party that does not believe trans people should exist. This policy will kill people, so maybe stop wringing your hands about volleyball.

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

The data center they're trying to build near me is being proposed by an unnamed, third-party developer who signed an NDA (likely in violation of Oklahoma open meetings law) with the mayor and city council, and it DOESN'T HAVE A PLANNED USE. Madness. Thankfully the community is pissed and organized.

Finally watched The Descent after 20 years of people telling me it was good/scary. It was both! Ending was amazing

the electoral left needs to lean in heavy on anti ai and anti data center policy

My favorite writing thing I did this year beside publish my book was get back into short story writing, including writing this one and getting published at a dream pub. If you haven’t read it, I’ll say that i think it’s a very good end of year kind of story to read

When OpenAI says 800 million users... That's gotta be counting people using it on accident in all the various places it's been shoved into, right? I have to believe there aren't that many people globally just prompting the piece of shit on purpose.

"I write large suicide notes and place them so he can read them easily," from Mark Strand's "The Tunnel. Also the ending of it: "I feel I’m being watched and sometimes I hear a man’s voice, but nothing is done and I have been waiting for days."

Are there any search engines without AI? i switched to Ecosia years ago when I learned they actually do some real reforestation work (always had assumed it was just PR). Now they're pushing AI search like everyone else. Duck duck go?

Just saw that heinous clip of the FDA lady both-sidesing vaccines... Folding Ideas's In Search of Flat Earth remains the most important documentary film made this century. We have to get the conspiracy addled people out of power, man.

The attacks on trans rights, which are basic human rights, are a terrible injustice and an attack on truth and fact as well. Everyone should be deeply alarmed and it should be disqualifying for a politician to support such discrimination.

What if we razed every Data Center to the ground and salted the earth where they stood

my “AI is over” anecdote is that my wife was hired over the summer to write scripts for a big tech company explaining how to use their AI tools and after many rounds of revisions, the latest notes said “we’re finding a lot of AI fatigue among our users” and to remove all references to AI

I don't self promote my music very much but check this out if you dig ambient stuff! I took everything off spotify due to all the evil so this latest release has barely been heard by anyone. Name your price!

🚨 🚨 NEW @anniejowrites.bsky.social ON SHORT STORY, LONG DAY! 🚨 🚨

Everything may be bad, but hot dang there's a new Strongbad email today.

Feel sick with dread because I found out last night they're trying to put an AI data center a few miles north of my house. Company bought 900 acres of land zoned for agriculture and they're just trying to get it rezoned for lighting and industrial. Emailed everyone in the city council

Haven't been on twitter for a while but I still instinctively raise my hackles a little when I see a blue check on here before I remember I'm on bluesky

I truly enjoyed the collaborative nature of making this video, and you might enjoy that mine is not the only face in it. This topic is amazing. youtu.be/_QF6kaOAuYg?...
