inspired by this restaurant I’ve been walking by every morning that has a huge midjourney-ass Frida Khalo in their window. she would’ve thrown a brick

the only thing that would piss off Frida Khalo more than the mass production of her likeness for commercial gain is the AI generated mass production of her likeness for commercial gain

looks like they killed the ghoul tool, dance upon its grave

so let me get this straight: grammarly has an LLM tool that borrows the likeness of a smart person and then puppets that likeness to give you advice that makes your writing sound more like AI. does nobody care about getting sued anymore

journalists who somehow see our profession as separate or somehow apart from the arts and thus unaffected by the same challenges are stupid, myopic, tacky, and dress bad

i never thought I’d say this but even clip art would be better. by god, bring back clip art if it means i don’t have to look at another one of those fucking AI things

In federal court in Denver this morning, U.S. District Court Judge R. Brooke Jackson said his picture and home address were posted online by someone in Florida after Jackson ruled ICE’s warrantless practices were likely illegal. The online post said Jackson β€œloves illegal immigrants.”

Mamdani angers certain journalists and their bosses because he's a well-educated child of privilege like they are, but he's the way he is and they're the way they are and it shames them and they can't deal with it. It's not hard to figure out
