My Fedi tip of the day: Are you bothered when people talk about their books or art or other creations on Mastodon—including when those items are for sale?

Good news! You have several options to deal with the situation, including shutting the fuck up about it and letting them share their work.

Hello, this is Max from Mastodon Support. I'm writing you to alert you that I support you.

Failed assassination attempts aren’t funny, you guys.

“Behold,” declares the AI bro, “we have created a new mind!”

“Behold,” I declare as I a hold a seashell up to his ear, “I have created a new ocean!”

I'm not mad at you if you've tried to use AI because you want things to be easier.

I'm mad at the people who are telling you that our current "AI" technologies are the solution. Because they are lying to you.

They are lying about what AI can do.

They are lying about why they are making it.

They are lying about what it costs.

They are lying about what will happen to you if it works.

They are lying about what is happening to the world in the meantime while it very definitely doesn't.

Welcome to Mastodon! To continue, please verify your age by making a joke employing online slang that young people stopped using almost as soon as it was memed eleven years ago.

Women want him [to go away]. Men want to be[at] him.

Fuck around and find meaning in the mundane.

It’s spring in the northern hemisphere, and temperatures are rising!
