Forgive me if someone's already said this, but I think "Blueski" has to be some kind of Freudian slip!

Hey, as a librarian I need to tell you:

Our funding depends on usage.

So go ahead and check out that book even if you don't think you'll finish it. No one will know. Check out that DVD even though you might not like it. Get ambitious in your quest for knowledge.

It was almost as bad a the hit from the simultaneous Cup-of-tea-in-laptop epidemic.

All of the above should apply equally to Reform in the UK.

one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

Where do I apply to be a curator of time? Definitely one of the better job titles around!

Of course, maybe the Santa Fe council people couldn't spell either. Mind you, they are more easily excused.

Radical I know, but what about just using Irish actors?

A long thread but worth reading to the end. Tanja sums up what a great many people are thinking, but in clear and concise language. Let's hope our government can change course before it's too late.

If using AI is such hard work, why not just write the thing yourself in the first place and save some time!

Is there no mechanism for Russia to be expelled, or at least suspended, from the Security Council?

AI is for writers who don’t like to write but want to have written, and readers who don’t like to read but want to have read.

Into the sea with the whole miserable joyless fucking lot of them.
