As a writer, I believe genAI removes the *joy* from creating art and strangles the introspection and growth it provides.
It's also one of the most environmentally devastating uses of the underlying hardware.

Hey Mastodon, could you help me spread the word about my Etsy shop? A sale or two would be a colossal help.

All of my creations are designed, hand-sewn, hand-embroidered by me. Each takes many hours to make.

The only difference is whether we work together before, or after, massive death and destruction."

'Rotten to the core': Kari Lake compares her own agency to spoiled fish

Kari Lake didn’t mince words Wednesday as she ripped into the U.S. Agency for Global Media – calling the bureau she leads as senior advisor “rotten to the core” in heated testimony on Capitol Hill – and defending the president’s aggressive plan to gut the $950 million operation by 2026.Lake, who Don...

Raw Story

"If all billionaires and mega corps paid the same amount of taxes that I pay -- a retired person living on a very small pension and it's about 22% to Federal taxes -- we could have universal healthcare, universal secondary and post-secondary education, accommodations and some sort of UBI for homeless people, and universal daycare and elder care."

That's what the system of capitalism and wealth worship has taken from us and bottom line it means years of life taken from 99% of citizens so that billionaires and mega corps can wallow in incomprehensible quantities of money.

Gonna start a winger movement to boycott and protest McDonalds because there's trans fat in Big Macs.

I learned something today: Google's Gemini "AI" on phones accesses your data from "Phones, Messages, WhatsApp" and other stuff whether you have Gemini turned on or not. It just keeps the data longer if you turn it on. Oh, and lets it be reviewed by humans (!) for Google's advantage in training "AI" etc.

But this only came to my attention because of an upcoming change: it's going to start keeping your data long-term even if you turn it "off": "#Gemini will soon be able to help you use Phone, #Messages, #WhatsApp, and Utilities on your phone, whether your Gemini Apps Activity is on or off."

This is, of course, a #privacy and #security #nightmare.

If this is baked into Android, and therefore not removable, I'd have to say I'd recommend against using Android at all starting July 7th.
