I apologize if this is harsh but focus on what is happening to us. More people are talking about celebrities than the residential building that collapsed today. 100 people are still missing and trapped under the rubble.
There is a shortage of medical and rescue equipment.

i don’t hate AI art because it’s ugly, tho right now it’s ugly for some of the reasons i hate it (carelessly ripping off everything til you’re left w an anodyne creepy average of all art). but they will eventually fix the current ugliness without fixing the underlying evil and i will still hate it
A lot of people argue that AI food imagery is bad because it's gross. And I agree! But not everyone is so bothered by it. Here, I write about how focusing on aesthetics is a losing game, and how it would still suck if it were beautiful www.weareravenous.com/for-ai-food-...
For AI Food Slop, Gross Is in the Eye of the Beholder
AI food imagery would still be a problem even if it didn't look horrifying.

I’m glad I’m not taking courses anymore because I’d be foaming at the mouth if other people’s incuriosity and moral abyss drew a blanket electronics ban that meant I can’t type notes anymore
I fucking love typing notes, they’re my best notes

To be fair, I would ✨LOVE✨ to stop banging on about N95s & alt text, but until people are willing to put in a single fucking iota of work to use alt text & wear N95s I'm going to keep banging on about it because accessibility matters a whole fucking lot more than people being mildly inconvenienced.

Because it’s come up a lot today, both at the hands of people I admire and people I disdain:
If you’re tired of being told COVID never ended, imagine how it feels being impacted by it daily and having to watch everyone pretend it’s done.
That response that galls you so is trauma.

The U.S. has entered its 13th COVID wave, with an estimated 1 in 86 Americans currently infectious. Around 567,000 new infections are occurring daily, totalling 3.69 million in a week. PMC estimates a single week at this level could result in 900–1,600 excess deaths.

As both an academic and a writer, I am repelled by the "this looks like a long document. Would you like me to summarize it for you?" that seems to appear at the top of every pdf viewer now.
NO. The *entire point* of good writing (either books or journal papers) is that every sentence has a purpose.

I think it's simpler than that: they simply do not understand what they're building. And that's a problem that has been around for a while in machine learning.
There's a point of complexity past which the engineers can no longer fully understand its internal workings, and we crossed it years ago.

I do not believe that these guys are about to summon a world-ending superconsciousness from Nvidia graphics cards. But they either believe they can or want me to believe they believe they can. So I think "fuck them" is the only rational response

Why be unsure about this at all? Declare it, be honest about it and give your readers the chance to decide whether or not they want to use/read your work. Unless you don't want others to know about your use of it, and give the impression its all your work.
