IMPORTANT: For any artists/writers/etc etc, using Linktree to point people to their work, from 5 July, they'll be feeding all imagery you use on your landing page into DALL-E by OpenAI. I deleted my account this morning.

A PhD student at Stanford noticed her classmates were asking Al to write their breakup texts. So she ran a study. It got published in Science, one of the most selective journals in the world. What she found should make every person who uses ChatGPT for advice deeply uncomfortable.

Me when I am woken up by something at 5am, and instead of letting me go back to sleep, my brain decides to switch on

I accidentally discovered that the original actor who played Atreyu is an anti-vaxxer, among other things. And now I am bummed, Swamp of Sadness style.

Good try, scammers. Maybe next time, don't text an *image* of the exact same message message (in the wrong colour for my current Android theme), from two different numbers, especially when you use a name in said message. Get blocked.

God save us from misogynistic, old, white men. There was a customer who came into the store today. Couldn't remember the name of the thing he wanted to buy. Went to male coworker and described the thing he wanted (blue thing that cleans your teeth). Coworker had no idea, but knew I might and I.. 1/2

Dear non-working people: Stop trying to make plans with people who work DURING THE WORK WEEK. We want to meet up with you, but WE'RE WORKING. Make plans on the weekend, or the evenings

Oh no 😔 www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

If y'all want to get your sci-fi groove on without having to buy into a streaming service... cordcuttersnews.com/babylon-5-is...

While there were enough cool moments to make the opening ceremonies worth watching (no spoilers, in case anyone recorded them), the sheer amount of ads was excessive. Totally took me out of the experience. They'd go to a full break, come back for maybe 2 minutes, if that, then do split screen ads.

🤦‍♀️Some people really need to double check their posts. I just saw one where a woman posted about the biodegradable tea cup she had received, saying she couldn't figure out how to fold the flaps and be able to drink it properly. She included photos. Those photos clearly showed NUMBERED INSTRUCTIONS.

Ireland, you know what you must do

@transformativeworks.org I've noticed more and more stories posted on #AO3 with tags stating they were written using ai. Do you know of any plans to remove these stories or somehow stop them from being uploaded in the first place?

Happy Holidays, everyone. Whatever you celebrate, however you celebrate, I hope it's a good one.

A French supermarket's Christmas advert has captured hearts worldwide without using generative AI.

Hey, @bsky.app you know what would be nice? Removing people as followers. Or does blocking do that automatically?

As a woman who graduated from an Engineering program, December 6 is always a day of remembrance for me. On Dec 6, 1989, a person took offense to the fact women were studying Engineering at Ecole Polytechnique in Montreal. The plaque names the 14 women who were murdered.

hello fellow artists. google has fallen. pinterest/duckduckgo AI filters don't work. do not despair; here is a list i made of places to find reference images without having to sift through piles of worthless garbage: doodlemancy.dreamwidth.org/20757.html 🚯 #NoAI #HumanArtists #ArtistsOnBluesky

I bought the No Name seasonal ice cream after my shift today. It's called North Pole-itan (I mean, gold star for the name at least), and is supposed to be some type of berry (they call it Jingle Berry), mint, and marshmallow. I regret buying it. All three flavours are very weird.

Authors, Beware! There's a firm called "ClaimsHero" doing aggressive social media outreach claiming to "help" you file to get $ in the Anthropic class action. In fact, it's a bait-and-switch, they are luring authors to sign up with them, then OPTING THEM OUT of the class action so they'll get zilch.
