I am forever saying that if refusal isn't a live option in any decision making process about "AI", then no ethical practice is possible. You've got to be able to stop if the thing is unacceptable.

You yourself can choose not to use Google Photos or at least not opt-in when it comes to the Gemini AI connection, but it's all pointless IF people who have photos of you or your kids etc on Google Photos and they opt-in. Good times! 🙃 /s #GenAI

@cozykathryn.com I’m wearing my raven moon tee I got from Xero’s shop a while back and the cashier at Daiso was like “that is an awesome shirt!!” when she saw it. I agree! 💖

🚨🚨🚨 BLEP ALERT

Hello me it is me

welp, am enjoying the original but won't be buying dlc, let alone the sequel.

The crunchies at the bottom of the box in a Long John Silver's meal are one of the best foods known to humankind.

psst and they have some samplers back in stock (she says after snagging one for her bro)

Hello, even if LLMs were philosophically or technologically interesting from an AI perspective (I contend they aren't), there is enough evidence to completely reject their use on ethical grounds alone. Cognitive scientists cannot just carry on doing the work under these conditions. Have a nice day.

Oh have we been speculating about “it” again?

Can’t sleep, brain stuck on analysis mode, so you get a thread on what Wallace and Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl has to say about AI. Obvious spoilers ahead. Vengeance Most Fowl is available everywhere fine Netflix is purveyed. Okay, here we go until I fall asleep.

And done! I'll get glamour shots tomorrow for listing on my shop. This hand made leather dice tray will be first come, first served, US residents only. #leatherwork #ttrpg

Pisces: Time heals all wounds. You'll be good to go in about 150 years.

'Significant Otters' are now up for grabs! Only 25 available. agiroux.com

murmuring amongst the noodle court have stoked paranoia that I must post more

How on earth am I supposed to trust someone to make decisions about AI when they're asking AI "hey, am I right?" and then are like "yo everyone, look, AI said I am right."

AI chucklefucks feel entitled to every part of you: your data traces, your likeness, your name. They do not understand compensation.

THE GOAT

The previous record high here for this day was 78F, set in 1995. Today it hit 87.

If your business model doesn’t work without breaking the law, then you’re not in business. You’re in organized crime. www.reuters.com/legal/litiga...

And if you're coming here to ask for permission / absolution for turning to the synthetic text extruding machines instead of either using your own brain or connecting with another person, then maybe think on why you feel that need. >>

Double check yours: bsky.app/settings/acc... And if having it on for so long up until now has gotten you into the habit regardless? Thank you and congrats! 💖

“When you strip the humanities out of the people who build technology, you do not get more efficient engineering. You get engineering that has lost its sense of purpose, its awareness of consequence, and its ability to see the people on the other side of the screen.”

I finally lost my shit about so-called AIs, LLMs, enshittification & everything fucking evil that @officialgrammarly.bsky.social is doing. I'm fucking furious, and not just about what 1 company has done. An open letter to Grammarly & the rest of the LLM hype machine www.moryan.com/an-open-lett...

This is a thing I wrote last year about how generative 'AI' is dehumanizing. I wish this would stop being relevant, but it seems like people around me are using it more, not less. arestelle.net/2025/06/11/a...

Silicon Valley runs on erasure of consent. Consent is friction. Inefficient and not binary. It does not compute. It’s tech’s kryptonite.

I'm so tired seeing posts claiming that "people aren't paying attention" or "people don't care". We are. We do. These posts deny us. How is that helping? (rhetorical)

borrowing @anthonymoser.com's template. it actually doesn't matter whether "AI" is "useful".

The tf-idf of "appurtenant" with respect to real estate documents has got to be absurd.

It feels extremely weird that I have to go look at carpet today. I know why I’m doing it but still.

Love it when an Onion article has been relevant my entire adult life

I would like to remind people that AI has already been used to kill people OpenAI and Microsoft supplied Israel with AI models to track and kill people in Gaza which led to increased civilian deaths apnews.com/article/isra...

i honestly didn't think it was possible for me to be harsher in my judgement of chatgpt users before today, but here we are if you still use this thieving, now murdering product to make silly little jokes or to write your emails or do your homework, you are complicit

the party that wants to require ID to vote abruptly invalidating a thousand people’s IDs overnight seems like a pretty giant flashing red light

If you like #pottery and want to help families impacted by ICE in south Minneapolis, I'm still donating any art sales income. There's also some music & prints. If you want to be more direct in your mutual aid, there's also a link to the gofundme here.

3. Should any transgender person be caught driving without a valid license, they could face a class B misdemeanor carrying up to six months in jail and a $1,000 fine. Kansas already requires county jails to house inmates according to sex assigned at birth. www.kcur.org/politics-ele...

Cheap grocery store creamy chicken flavored ramen (or pork or soy). Nothing else in it, just noodles and so much salt.

‘Their politics is violence. How does one “liberate” that? What’s the case for open source violence?’

Look at this gorgeous thing!

The profound ennui of a cat who must (MUST) languish on the warm counter above the running dishwasher. Woe. Woe is Grizzly. Will someone please bring him a toy?

I need to exercise patience about a thing it is extremely hard to exercise patience about.

Today is Friday the 13th, which means Lucky 13 is BACK for one day! 💫 ⁠ This tea has a cult following for good reason. One customer described this as "Cinnamon Toast Crunch Tea" and many others said "I can't stop drinking this!"

WAKE UP BABE IT’S “FAR BEYOND THE STARS” DAY

New layer art pieces are in the works! An axe to add to the sword, staff, and bow. And a set of mushroom/fern moon phases!

If you’re worried that AI seems to be as intelligent and emotionally authentic as you are, maybe that says less about AI than it does about you.
