The most insanely frustrating thing about the #ClimateCrisis is how the breakthrough we so clearly need isn’t technological. It’s just a collective willingness, a determination even, to change in ways that would clearly be SO MUCH BETTER than the clear and obvious consequences of NOT changing.

AI art does not exist. It is an oxymoron.

you know him

My gut feeling right now is that once we get past this AI LLM boom and bust cycle, the skill of knowing how to have an imagination and how to create stories with your own human skill will be even more valuable than before. I would spend this time learning how to do everything you can to nurture that

But I was told AI will replace historians

The process of doing things - like making art or making history - is joyful. It’s messy, complicated, and frustrating, but it’s also creating something from nothing, all on your own. And it is a joy.

Boosting for visibility. Once again for the back: AI is not human and it is not good at telling human stories.

"i asked chatgpt, i asked grok" yeah well i asked frankenstein and he was like "i'm the doctor, not the monster!" and i was like "well you're kind of a monster tho also" so

And before someone asks, because someone always does, the solution to the "begs the question" problem is to never use the phrase at all for anything. It's inadequate and unclear in its original sense and target practice in its new sense.

Yes. I am right. I am seeing how Chat GPT is ruining students critical thinking and writing skills in real time. It is not the future. It is a tool designed to render the populace helpless, to make people doubt their innate intelligence, and to foster overreliance on technology.

I suspect that fact that the vast majority of LLM users don’t seem to have received this (really very simple!) message is because the AI companies have a vested interest in us not understanding it. “ChatGPT is smart, it just makes mistakes sometimes” is much more marketable than the truth.

I dreamt last night of the three weird sisters

buy them by the dozen

I kid you not, my work knows that I do drawing on the side and someone in the office told me AI could save me time and my response was "but I like drawing" and it broke them. They didn't know how to answer, they just couldn't comprehend that people make art because they like making art.

We need more AI for good — like a “find my pillowcase” tracker after I do laundry.

I’m late to this interview with Tony Gilroy but I think his answer, about why most art is progressive, hits the nail on the head. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/05/o...

When deception in wartime involved actual practical illusions.

History repeats. In 1936, FDR said “The Nation looked to Government but the Government looked away.” Saying this got him elected. This is also the sentiment that moved the 2024 electorate. Not sure current dems are up to the moment.

Seriously. It’s like we’ve collectively forgotten that we all wanted to be Indiana Jones.
