crazy to think how i struggle to ask for any kind of help but the president of the united states asks "can i have your nobel peace prize?"

Iβll never forget the look on the cashierβs face when she scanned the packet of bird seed, and I asked her how long it takes for the birds to grow once I plant them.
recently my friend's comics professor told her that it's acceptable to use gen AI for script-writing but not for art, since a machine can't generate meaningful artistic work. meanwhile, my sister's screenwriting professor said that they can use gen AI for concept art and visualization, but that it won't be able to generate a script that's any good. and at my job, it seems like each department says that AI can be useful in every field except the one that they know best. It's only ever the jobs we're unfamiliar with that we assume can be replaced with automation. The more attuned we are with certain processes, crafts, and occupations, the more we realize that gen AI will never be able to provide a suitable replacement. The case for its existence relies on our ignorance of the work and skill required to do everything we don't.
itβs come to my attention that my tumblr post has been crossposted to bluesky, so Iβm posting it on my account here #AntiAI #GenAI

Where can I cancel my two weeks free trial of 2026 before the deadline?
But how much does one data platform cost, Justin?
So, today marks 10 years since the passing of Bowie.
It also marks 10 years since I put something on Twitter about it which resulted in me having to take a day off work, chase down various international media, get blocked by half of Australia, and end up the filling in a Kanye and Madonna sandwich.
"We have another gift for you - speakers have submitted their proposed sessions and weβre handing selection over to you!"
How ungrateful am I if I think doing unpaid work and then having to pay to see the results of that work is not the gift they make it out to be? π¬
"We are very well aware of the fact that X for Grok is now offering a spicy mode showing explicit sexual content.
This is not spicy. This is illegal. This is appalling. This is disgusting.
I can confirm we are very seriously looking into this matter."

I'm deep in the Microsoft world and understand the difference between "rebranding Office" and "repurposing the hub app", but COME ON. My experience is that my Office hub is gone and replaced with Copilot, forcefully, against my will. The critique and jokes are valid, even if technically "incorrect".
My installed Microsoft apps, including the now renamed M365 Copilot app.
The Microsoft 365 Copilot app sign-in screen with the text "Your everyday productivity app for work and life."
The loading screen of the M365 Copilot app saying "Configuring Microsoft 365 Copilot. Fetching your files..."
The start screen of the M365 Copilot app, saying "Hi Cathrine, let's get started!" and a chat box pre-filled with "How can Copilot help me?"
I previously used the M365 hub app (whatever it was called) to view and browse all my office files across apps. I opened it today, and this was what I was met with. No way to open apps, only search them. The rest is all Copilot. I never installed this Copilot app. It has been "updated" for me.

Nyhetsbrev fra Filter nyheter: Trump-administrasjonen bestrider fakta etter dΓΈdelig ICE-aksjon i Minneapolis Trump-administrasjonen bestrider flere tilsynelatende Γ₯penbare fakta i saken der en kvinne ble skutt og drept av en ICE-agent i Minneapolis. Minnesotas demokratiske senator Tina Smith har identifisert kvinnen som 37 Γ₯r gamle Renee Nicole Good, trebarnsmor, prisbelΓΈnt poet og hobbygitarist, som skal ha vΓ¦rt til stede som juridisk observatΓΈr av ICEs aktiviteter.
Mens andre medier i Norge kjΓΈrer "begge sider" sΓ₯ er @filternyheter.no klar. Det er ikke sΓ₯ vanskelig.
Selv om jeg bare er en ukjent fΓΈlger sΓ₯ er jeg skikkelig stolt av deg! π
