@coreyspowell @inthehands Whenever I see these shots, I am reminded that we’re all astronauts. Our (sometimes) environmentally controlled craft is spherical in shape, moving through space at 67,000 MPH as it orbits the sun. We have some water and toilet issues, and many of us suffer from Outlook glitches, too.

@scalzi This is an indictment against people who were warned (as the alarms continue to blare) that AI has its value, provided you don’t go beyond a point that we know is questionable. And these idiots do it anyway. We see this all over humanity in all areas, not just AI. This is a problem with falling for promises for easy gains, being deaf to wisdom, and lacking critical discernment. Take the majority of Americans voting for a president, for instance…

@brianbilston In the 1980s we received “New World Man” from RUSH. And now, Bilston rushes in with his own chart-topping lyric… a darker, biographical version, showing that the worst of people only worsen over time. Rush is touring again after they lost their lyricist…

@flesh @dcoderlt A lot of adults built the Internet and they weren’t making a space for kids to inhabit exclusively. It also wasn’t overtaken by kids to become “their space”. It was built by a lot of people of all ages for people of all ages, and a lot of people of all ages did populate it (and continue to). And then the corporations came and that’s when it really changed. Their presence continues to cause tidal movements of people within the Internet to relocate into different spaces.

@joeress The sun! Even more beautiful.

@davatron5000@mastodon.social The comiseration is real. I paused on this one sentence and felt it needed one more item… “We optimized for output, and abolished apprenticeship.” … and abandoned craftsmanship.
