My point is: you don’t have to believe that ChatGPT will go Skynet on us, to believe that these nutjobs will gladly burn down the planet trying to make it happen.

(Some of these factions want to create Good Skynet to fight the Bad Skynet. I’m sorry. I know it’s dumb. It’s not my fault.)

I've had people ask before why I post art that's been drawn on lined or grid notebook paper and not blank drawing paper. It's honestly a big psychological hack: blank drawing paper is for "real" art and I'm afraid to mess it up, but art on lined paper is legally "a doodle" and the art cops have to let you walk even if it's bad

I am trying a new thing:

Only boosting posts that make me happy or have something actionable for readers. It's good to be informed about depressing issues, it's not good to be constantly bombarded with things about them.

Not posting about things that annoy me unless I have an actionable proposal for how to improve them. Grumbling can be cathartic but is not especially helpful.

I don't promise I'll be good at this, but I'm going to try!

Serial liars like Trump and his apparatchiks have a huge advantage over people who tell the truth, because they can count on journalists to parrot the lies in their coverage, thereby giving equal weight to reality and bullshit.

Huh I just got a sponsorship offer for my blog. Too bad I think advertising and affiliate marketing is a huge scam. They also obviously didn't read anything on there or they would've seen I think their whole industry (LLM whatever's) is a scourge.

Stuck at $0/335.

Been trying to get help for a few days now, and I've run out of a lot of stuff I desperately need, including grocery items not covered by my EBT, allergy medication, cat food and cat litter. That, and I need to pay my electric bill to avoid a shutoff notice. Thanks!
