AOC: This is what drinking water in Georgia looks like after Meta began data center construction in the community.

Getting increasingly fucked off by scientist's willingness to use AI to make project logos, scicomm illustrations etc. Although our budgets are being slashed, they are still so humungous compared to the arts that we can afford to cost in and pay real artists for this in our grants, and should.

There's a joke going round software engineering circles that, soon, with AI, all that will be needed is for people to accurately describe precisely what they want in a piece of software. So: software engineering jobs are safe. It's amusing, but the state of AI coding is both alarming AND overhyped.
