I'm comparing MY future wisecracking space adventures to Red Dwarf; go to the ur-text.

THIS. 💀 They? Have? Common sense? In plan form??? Are they using this plan to decide which of their conspiracy theorist candidates are A-OK?

This kind of thing is bizarre as well as gross. Are they trying to change customer minds with "try it, you'll like it" marketing, or are they trying to artificially boost AI-use numbers to appease their management? Can't tell, but seems counterproductive long-term either way!

I think Team Sunk Cost Fallacy is one of AI's biggest proponents.

I wouldn't apologize to a tomato, because I don't like tomatoes ...but I would probably apologize to an apple. ...And now I'm wondering at a certain moral deficiency in letting my biases determine how apologetically I treat produce. 😅

(ugh, has exacerbated***) it's a messy time to be a creator, so as always, my plea to you is to be vocal about the art you enjoy -- like excessively vocal. support creators in whatever way you can: sign up for newsletters, repost their work, request books/comics from your local indies & libraries

Tim Pool, the Useful Tool. Who does he work for? Nobody cool.

📌 Evergreen usefulness, thanks.

To build on this - creative work does not reveal character, but it can reveal the *capacity* for character. You cannot read Ender's Game and Speaker for the Dead without realizing that Orson Scott Card has a deep well of understanding and compassion which it turns out was not goodness itself.

I appreciate your understanding of this abominable situation, as a non morning person, and I'm sorry you have to deal with our zombie shuffling as we attempt to ratchet ourselves into consciousness.
