Properly talented, skilled people are fighting for their lives struggling to survive in underpaid jobs and/or unemployed in a terrible market and then there's utter nincompoops being made powerful and wealthy and labelled "thought leaders"... I hate this world so much 😔

if you're still on twitter you're saying you're cool with this

I knew it was going to rain but I wasn't expecting the deluge we're having

are stomach issues and itchy eyes common with flu? 🤒

Every couple of weeks a tech idiot will say something like "we've invented a horse that shits grenades" and the press will lose their mind about the moral ramifications of grenade-shitting horses and then everyone will work out the horse doesn't exist but somehow the tech idiot is now a billionaire.

To all the editors whose resolution is to hire me to write more licensed comics, I can help you with that.

one unexpected outlook change from being a dad is taking the self care people 10x more seriously when it comes to dealing with weirdly directed anger and rage (including Online). many angry posts should have been naps or little packets of crackers

As ever

You cannot have “AI” without having “machine that almost solely exists to create nonconsensual sexually explicit images of mainly women and children.” The former exists in tandem with the latter. That’s how this industry has worked so far, and it has only gotten worse with zero accountability

This is a super-huge issue in news writing, which almost always gets flagged as AI. News stories are formulaic by design and often have the same cadence and language.

It’s simultaneously annoying and unsurprising to see academics and researchers who argue that creating a digital mind is improbable or impossible being subjected to more criticism and held to a higher standard than those arguing that tech bros are creating a completely new form of sentient life

#NowPlaying #NP Florence Welch and Mitski writing a song together somehow created something that, to me, vibes like Kirsty MacColl (in the best way) 🥰

Stop using ChatGPT as a search engine. Stop using search engines with AI summaries

It's chilly, with this biting wind, and yet outside Finchley Road station was a lady playing cello (no gloves, of course). I didn't have change to give and I will feel guilty about that for a long time.

Does anyone here have personal experience they'd like to share in relation to drinking the non-alcoholic versions of Rekorderlig and/or Kopparberg: Are they as nice as the alcoholic versions? (again, I'm after actual humans' personal experiences, not search engine results or LLM replies, thanks!)

Driving Home for Christmas. Gute Reise Chris Rea.

Search your camera roll for “Hell”

You can't use generative AI ethically because it's built on stolen work.

Oh sure, when it's *your* food bowl it's "too small" and "gives you whisker fatigue" but when it's MY cereal bowl, WHICH IS THE SAME DIAMETER that all suddenly goes away, I see how that is...
