BioCurious to learn more about the fediverse. Human.

Dear news sites,

When I open one of your stories, I don't want to see an unrelated autoplay video, especially one labelled "made right now with AI!"

When I stop it, and scroll down, I don't want to see it pop up again.

I also don't want pop ups for other stories getting in the way while I'm trying to read this story.

And when I finally manage to make it to the story I wish to read, at the end of it you're asking for donations?

I just put up a fresh post about unproductive criticism surrounding artificial intelligence with an attempt to advocate for more nuanced, constructive engagement from both sides of the discussion.

Advising Reasonable AI Criticism

#HOTD #houseofthedragon. Does HBO / Max really think we are going to subscribe to be shown a preamble where nothing fucking happens? People pay money to see something not to be strung along like most of the Apple TV shows now being produced. Doomscrolling is not a model for episodic television. That's what this has become. Ooh let's see what happens if we watch just a little bit longer. Nothingburgers all the way down.
@hankg @arstechnica @TaoBear ULA still exists, and they still have government contracts -- a few. And Blue Origin has been promising great things for years, and the government keeps saying it'll be delighted to work with them as soon as they can get so much as a crushed tin can into orbit. But right now, neither can deliver at a price, or honestly a launch rate, that matches SpaceX -- and it's far from clear that the government can create vendors that can just by throwing money around.
whoever said 'stop making stupid people famous' was a time traveler who came back to warn us
happy thanksgiving to everyone except the people who design and implement those popover modals that beg you to subscribe to something which appear 30 seconds into the article you're reading
