not ch1c

My parents just sent me an article about a craftsperson in my very small town and asked if I knew them. There is no such person. The entire thing, cartoonish images and blathering text, was AI generated. And clicking through on the convenient buy-now link I discover this machine-crafted person exists in a whole universe of imaginary friends hawking shitty tchotchkes. Grateful they were being scammed for tote bags and bee houses and not their life savings. How will we protect the elders?!? #NoAI #AIMustDie

@peter@thepit.social we may yet live

@tropicalchaos@mastodon.social @inthehands@hachyderm.io the very active support committee is here: @dfwsupportcommittee@mas.to

@ophiocephalic @piefedadmin this feels like a defederate-on-sight level breach

these presentations are great and open to all and everyone interested in #climate should sign up 🙂 From: @ZLabe@fediscience.org https://fediscience.org/@ZLabe/116908153868536547 #ClimateDiary #ClimateCollapse #ElNino

@ophiocephalic @piefedadmin plot twist: anarchist nexus but feeding you into the maw of Leviathan

@dillyd the only thing more dispiriting than photos of full-blown spring pouring in from points south is seeing them coming now from north of us too 😂 (beautiful though! we’re a week or more behind you down here in northern VT)

@esm@wetdry.world logged so many hours/days/weeks in front of that screen in the before times and I can’t at all remember what’s in the “goodies” menu

@ZLabe@fediscience.org it gets so angry

@idzie @dillyd I’m hopeful we’ll all outlive the borders

@dillyd @idzie that’s a nice thought, I’ll post some. The wild roadside apples look like they could get going soon 🤞

@idzie @dillyd yeah it’s really remarkable. We relocated here in part to enjoy the climatological benefits of that elevation (we’re at almost 500m)—and also to be near Quebec! Which we love! And.. haven’t visited in over a year because the border (our side) is such a high-risk roll of the dice 😓😬🙃

@linguistgoneforeign@mastodon.social what have you found for search? I was happily using maapl but it seems to have conked out recently and just throws errors 😓

@linguistgoneforeign@mastodon.social yeah that’s what I meant. I was using DDG too for years but I started having to tell it I never want to see the AI summary every single time I used it. It never learned. 😭🙂

@linguistgoneforeign@mastodon.social ha thanks I’ll try that—I have a bookmark and totally forgot about it 🙃

@riggbeck@mastodon.social @junesim63@mstdn.social jewdas are my kind of jews 🙂

@ZLabe@fediscience.org @Niall@mastodon.nz I do sometimes wish, to maximize effectiveness in promoting their point of view on time-sensitive climate issues with pressing implications for human safety, that Hansen’s team would up its graphics game

@veronica am I the only one who every time they hear Debian thinks Sybian? 😬🤔

@historyofpunkrock fixed it 🙂

@peter important to remember that an appropriately paced and resourced response to climate collapse is/was “too expensive”

@structuredsucc it’s also fun to never know moment to moment which will be the dominant mode 🙂🙃😬

@trademark @lproven the first move of every fascist regime, including the one still working to consolidate power in the U.S., is to destroy the idea of truth. Not to mention the open technofascists pushing AI on all of us nonstop. The poster seems fine (unless it’s AI ofc) 🙂

@tom_geraghty I had a poster of the Vasa in my bedroom as a kid and I’m going to pretend this isn’t a metaphor for my life

@juliette I have that problem plus seeds I’ve stripped from chance-encountered specimens in various travels that I’ve rolled up in scraps of paper and never labeled 🙃 love the idea of a jubilee year for forgotten future plants!

@weirdestate glass railings, the ultimate tell for poor taste

@violetmadder@kolektiva.social @ShadSterling@mastodon.social @Ashedryden@xoxo.zone hear hear

@riggbeck@mastodon.social @junesim63@mstdn.social it’s a tradition where kids are invited to contradict religious authorities and question the word of god on their thirteenth birthdays, while also directing them to heal the world. That book captures the spirit so well

@SheDrivesMobility@norden.social ☝️😡 #ClimateDiary!

@Ashedryden@xoxo.zone startling lack of calls for Mussolini-style street trials in this thread
