I really can't wait to see how big the lawsuit against grammarly gets and I hope the plaintiffs sue them into complete and fundamental nonexistence. Like, "the company has to scrap their code rather than sell it as assets, and then also dissolve" nonexistence.
I am so excited to announce the First America Indigenous Futures Writing Workshop Series as part of a project I’ve been working on for the past year. Applications due by March 31, apply soon, and please share with any Indigenous youth that you know! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...
What are we DOING here? We're just meant to sit and act like this insane plagiarism and climate threat that requires more money than anything has ever cost is worth it? Are we meant to pretend that ChatGPT is worth this aimless, meaningless destruction of capital and our environment? For what?

What a surprise that UCLA has decided not to “liberate” (in their own words) the poorly paid TAs from grading. Other universities similarly prohibit TAs from using the very AI they’re pushing to grade.
Omg what is this hell?
Wish I could buy ads for the good.store on BlueSky. But since I can't: Give the gift of good store this holiday season! Coffee! Tea! Puzzles! Socks! Soap! Shampoo bars!
100% of profit goes to charity. It's a great gift that you can feel great about.
The thing that kills me is you don't need a time machine to understand this. My buddy is in his 80s and grew up on Iowa. He point blank said as a kid sometimes other kids just died. That was his childhood.
I'm totally done with X/Twitter. I will still be doing my banking there, though.

Being on Bluesky while Twitter self combusts feels kind of like survivor guilt.
The power is not back on. Our governor is in Paris but thankfully the replacement for his replacement declared a state of emergency at least?
Today I hauled a fridge and freezer worth of food to the trash bin. Our Samsung fridge seems to leak less when it’s at room temperature. Fun times we’re having in midtown.
