I see we're having a debate about whether it's okay to go back to "X," the site owned by a trillionaire fascist who is currently bankrolling the GOP's midterm, throttled Ukraine's war effort, and still winkingly allows vast amounts of CSAM on his service Answer: No, what the fuck is wrong with you

Thread worth reading if only b/c of how much of it, by volume, is people saying “the way GLP-1 meds are marketed/talked about is undoing decades of what was already achingly incremental progress on fighting cultural fatphobia and thin people are being more fucked up about fatness than ever”

I would be EXTREMELY annoyed to discover my PR is "AI"-generated, and as someone bombarded with dozens of "AI"-generated emails daily, I assure you the stink of "AI" is immediately noticable and immediately dismissible. Publishers are not doing their new books any favors in using it.

Anthropic is out with new nonsense about Claude (or the collection of models called Claude) deserving moral consideration and/or be able to feel distress, so my inbox is filling up with journos asking me to comment. I've also got a day job, so here is a brief set of public comments on this: >>

The stupidest part of this is that we had some minor success with early weighted models and instead of asking “How can we make this work better on less powerful hardware?” we skipped right to “we should turn every atom in the solar system into comptronium!”

AI is now the biggest investment in all of US history as a percentage of GDP. Datacenter construction is up, all other construction is down. "AI Is Squeezing Out the Rest of the Stock Market," reported WSJ 2 days ago. We basically bet the whole economy on the most optimistic visions panning out.

So grateful that there are so many people who still care about and support art, monetarily or otherwise. A single encouraging word can still make my day. I reflect on the culture we’ve built as furries and my heart just overflows. It’s an oasis in a wasteland and idk what I’d do without all of you.
