hi, cis folks in california! this headline leaves out that newsom has another 5 days to sign these bills into law. if you’d like to tell him he should do that to protect trans californians, you should to reach out. he also has a phone: (916) 445-2841 want to know what to say? next post! 🧵

If you’re calling Newsom about trans and gay bills you should also call about SB 79 bc passing that is going to help literally everyone

all discourse aside, there is one machine with consciousness. it's printers. they are alive and conscious and they hate you and they'd take your arm clean off if you let them. never trust a printer.

they believe ai can be "creative" bc they think artistic people just copy stuff already around. but what actually happens is you live for 20+ years, say, study, learn, practice, read, create, start a new project, & then on a 2 hour walk an entire unique idea pops into your head from nowhere. Sry.

When you realize how long it takes for a single tree to become fully mature and how many trees it takes to be productive... This is just one more method of *generational* violence.

When I worked on social features for online games, my favorite test for whether we were taking player safety into account was the "Ex-boyfriend Test", as in: If I was your ex-boyfriend, how would I use this feature to make your life miserable?

it’s pretty rich to call people who are rude about chatbots bigoted when the entire AI apparatus mostly seems to revolve around creating an illusory servant class. if you think the chatbot you’re designing to kiss your ass and do your work for you is alive, what does that make you?

"Protests Are Highly Effective, Met Police Confirm"

it's not enough to have your slop funded by venture capital money being lit on fire. you have to feel morally superior while eating your slop. rich fascists are attempting to give their for-profit machine learning models more rights than actual humans and it's a war crime to criticize them

It's 1925. I'm leanin' against this lamppost on the lookout for dames who are lookin for trouble. I start flipping a quarter. I catch her eye. I fumble the quarter and it rolls into a sewer grate. I have lost the equivalent of thirty thousand dollars.

I think the biggest difference between The Internet Then and The Internet Now is how Being Mad Online used to be the one thing you could never admit to, under pain of death, and now, Being Mad Online is a whole career path with a skill tree and an ever-expanding variety of debuffs.

I used to love the hiring process, even as a candidate. It was a chance to meet other writers and talk craft with talented people. But it's dispiriting all around now. There are simply too few roles and too many candidates these days, with no end in sight. It's bleak.

As easy as it is to get overwhelmed with the state of the world and isolating, that is often an accelerator of things. Community and empathy for others is the only way we can make the change we want to see.

Every waking moment has been drawing or teaching lately. Here is some inspiration: Recently acquired book—Noriyoshi Ohrai. His brushwork can be so immediate when it needs to be. He has such a range from academic realism to this adventurous sketching with paint. To be this bold and decisive digitally

California! Set a reminder in your phone to call the gov’s office to tell Newsom to sign these five bills. The guy’s mercenary as hell so if he thinks the wind is shifting in favor of trans rights (it never shifted! Trans rights are human rights!) we could flip him. Info below. Call: 916.445.2841

the snip above is from HHS, but there's actually a lot more. h/t @lizsaila.bsky.social prison bans? yep. carveouts for abusive parents to foster trans kids & force them into conversion camps? yes. bathroom bans. yup! sports bans—despite their failure in congress this year? indeed. it's a lot!🧵

This is absolutely ridiculous, would devastate numerous academic fields, and would destroy the lives of people I love very much. Please, please join me in sending a comment in on this telling them so

I wrote about this in "The Unaccountability Machine" - when you describe leveraged buyouts to ordinary people, half of them say that it should be illegal and the other half are often convinced that it already is.

Even setting aside ethics (but, yknow, THAT) - I just don’t want AI bullshit. I don’t want an AI pop star, movie, book, video game. Art is a conversation. Why would I stare at a dictionary run through the washing machine when I could read a poem lovingly constructed by someone’s hands?

Call Gavin Newsom's office like you called ABC/Disney/Sinclair/Nexstar
