@Theoreticalb @froomkin In which case, the writers, not the studios, should determine if, when, and how the tools should be used.

Love these pearls carved into little skulls. But, most necklaces that use them call too much attention to them, too goth, too edgy for me. Ever since I first saw this kind of bead I knew *just* how they ought be used:

A perfectly normal-looking small pearl necklace unless you look closer. Something that isn't noticed right away. A wink... in jewelry form.

I'm going to knot two versions, one all black, one all white.

I wonder how hard it is to carve a pearl?

I swear Mastodon is like almost all tech geeks who don't understand that non tech geeks find the site and app intimidating. And then when Eugen tries to change that a teensy tiny little bit, by say making one server default to lessen the chance of ending up on the wrong one, which can be a bad experience especially for minorities, they start screeching about how it's shifting from its vision.
Then they go back to wondering why it's not getting broad adoption by other demographics...
@futurebird @Rasp @atomicpoet I would love to see "ants in reverse". A story with human characters, but as if written by ants. All workers in the city are sisters, with their mother a giant living in the most guarded building downtown. Warriors standing 30 feet tall. Their brothers angsty explorers who leave home as soon as the weather is right.

So folks, don't forget to check if your Ikea chair is compatible with your screen. I'm not kidding. A thread đź§µ.

I've had the problem with my new screen for several weeks now, that every now and then the screen goes black for a few seconds.

Today I had enough and wanted to investigate the problem. So I started changing all the cables, plugging the screen into a different socket, and and and. Nothing helped.

Powerful joint statement on the use of AI from the FTC and other federal agencies.: https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/EEOC-CRT-FTC-CFPB-AI-Joint-Statement%28final%29.pdf

tl;dr — `It wasn't me, it was the AI' is not a defense against illegal discrimination or other forms of harm.
