Today, like every other day online, I block every profile that relies on environmentally destructive #aislop in their posts online. Historically, I have called them out on it, I have encouraged them to use imagery available under a permissive Creative Commons license or something similar

I get dismissed, and I repeated the routine the next day. I've gotten nowhere with it.

But the truth is this; at the end of the day, these individuals are malicious and intellectually lazy. They want a plagiarism machine to barf out a slurry of stolen bits from actual labor, planet be damned.

So now I just block them. They don't know, nor would they care. I just don't have the energy or influence to topple a multibillion dollar marketing campaign that wins the hearts and minds of these types of people.

So, hats off to the useful idiots that lick the boots of the AI broligarchy; may their water sources be as dried up as everyone else's.

The Slow Death of the Power User

That person is dying off. And nobody in the industry seems to care. In fact, most of them are actively celebrating the funeral while billing it as progress.

This isn’t an accident. This is the result of two decades of deliberate, calculated effort by the largest technology companies on earth to turn users into consumers, instruments into appliances, and technical literacy into a niche hobby for weirdos.

Will “AI” chatbots be the tobacco of the future?

Towards the end of 2024, Dennis Biesma decided to check out ChatGPT. The Amsterdam-based IT consultant had just ended a contract early. “I had some time, so I thought: let’s have a look at this new technology everyone is talking about,” he says. “Very quickly, I became fascinated.”

Biesma has asked himself why he was vulnerable t

"Sora is dead. May the memory of its four-month existence as a copyright infringement machine that was also used to make videos of men strangling women and ICE arresting undocumented immigrants be a blessing."
